Hey folks,
I have a friend who can’t spell for shit. He actually CAN spell, but his brain is always running at a billion miles an hour and I think he gets ahead of himself and the spelling errors pop up from time to time. Like any time he spells.
So look to the right of this post where you’ll find a link to Pimbasworld. Click that and then in the upper left, you’ll find a link back to my site. Hey, he’s my friend and I’m his, so we have links to each other’s sites. So you let the mouse hover over the link to my site, and a little word box pops up that says “be careful what you say around him”.
Notice how the word ‘careful’ is spelled wrong? Classic. Sorry Dave, I hadn’t kicked anybody in the nuts in a while, and it was just time…
PS, what’s a Terriorist? I noticed a mention about that on your site. Is that a small dog that goes around bombing shit?

I was born at just the right time. I was at the perfect age when video games first came out that I was completely enthralled by them and I’ve been hooked ever since. I also have been able to watch them grow and become more complex and quite realistic over the years. However, as with anything, bells and whistles are fine at first, but if you don’t have engaging content then you’re finished. Nowadays it seems that the visuals are the first and foremost thing that games are being measured by, with actual content and gameplay being pushed into the background. That point was driven home a few days ago when I forgot my phone at home and was checking my voicemail from the phone at the bike shop.
I got a call from Whitfield. He left a voicemail that cracked me up and brought a smile to my face. It seems that his kids, age 3 and 6, only want to play the game(s) that I left over at his pad last week. No, they aren’t Deathslayer 6 or Super Gnarlball 3D:Championship Edition (fictitious titles, by the way). They were compilation discs with Pacman and Gauntlet and Pole Position and a whole bunch of games
that were released in the early 80s during the infancy of the whole video game phenomenon. Remember when video games were a quarter to play? Now Alex and Tyson are forgetting all about Star Wars Lego games and playing Gauntlet! “Valkyrie needs food badly…”
I love it.

I’ve switched from writing all my own HTML code to using a service that does it all for me for free. I now manipulate the look using an extremely simple interface and all is wonderful.
Mostly…
There have been a few casualties. I had a couple ‘secret’ sites that I’d been piggy-backing onto my main site for a couple other people and now that I’m using this WordPress interface, those sites are no longer available to view by the parties interested. Melody and Molly, I apologize for having lost those pages. I don’t think I can add those pages to this site in the same way I’d done it before. Hmmmm…
Also, I’m still learning the ins and outs of this new interface, so I don’t know how to post images or image galleries yet. Ideally, I’d have galleries to view that would utilize the same look that you’re seeing now, but it may just be that I have to make new galleries and they may end up having a different theme to them. Don’t know for sure, just guessing… The cool thing about using this WordPress protocol though, is that I can log in from any computer on the planet and upload content, so I’m no longer dependant on having to bring my laptop with me someplace to post onto the site. Theoretically I’ll have more posts, or at least fewer big gaps in posts due to laziness. THEORETICALLY… Key word there.

After two years at Velo Bike Shop on Capitol Hill, I’ve jumped ship and started working for Pedal Dynamics in the Greenwood neighborhood in Seattle. The two years at Velo were a lot of fun and the folks there are completely wonderful people to hang out with and work with. However, Pedal Dynamics is a shop that is run by two friends of mine and they have been experiencing growing pains and so I started working with them two weeks ago. The last two weeks have been hectic as hell, since PD does a lot of events and the shop itself is pretty small. I’ve worked 6 days a week since starting there and tonight I was there til 1am before heading home and posting this.
Pedal Dynamics has a mobile unit. Dean (my buddy and the owner of PD) will take the van out to a company’s workplace, set up the mobile shop and work on employee’s bikes for the day or week. All of this gets set up beforehand and those mobile days are FULL. 
Next week is Microsoft and I’m going out there with Dean to crank out 80 tune-ups over the course of the week. I’ve done that for a day with him before, but this time it’s gonna be the entire week. Holy crap…
So in preparation, I decided that I needed more tools of my own so that I wouldn’t be fumbling around trying to find Dean’s tools and just getting in his way all the time throughout the week. I ordered a cool backpack that Park makes which is a toolbox for bike tools and then I thought, “Well hell, I have my own bike tools, but I need to fill this sucker with new tools and make it official!”. So after work tonight, Dean and I went to Sears and then Home Depot. $200 later, we were back at the shop and I was filling my new backpack/toolbox with the new tools I’d bought. Screwdrivers, files, hammers, T-handle metric allen wrenches, zip-ties, electical tape and one COMPLETELY righteous pair of scissors all went into the pack and now I’m ready for Microsoft, but also for any trip I may go on where I bring my bike with me. I took pictures of the old crappy toolbox and of the new pack in various stages of setup, but I don’t yet know how to get photos onto my site with the new WordPress protocol, so I’ll have to add them later.
Do NOT mess with me now, because I have the right tool to retaliate. I can file your face off, I can snip any body parts at any time, I can tape your arms to your sides, and I can zip-tie your toes together. Don’t even think about it…
