Headed Out West!

Actually Im not… but I can imagine cooler weather!  Was looking through my picasa albums and saw all these which were from summer 2007 when it rained all summer in TX (I missed ALL of it since I was gone for 6 glorious weeks!) Gonna be hot this summer so Barton Springs, Quarry Lake, and …

Google Workshop for Educators

As much as I praise Google and practice/preach the use of their tools, I haven’t attended many google workshops given by others.  Attending one today and enjoying it.  Making my notes public in wave (won’t show up in IE sorry! use a different browser): <

Lonestar State Qualifier Race

It’s time to sleep because even after a swim in the FREEZING Guadalupe River and a COLD bath at home I’m just now feeling normal again… It’s obvious that I got some sun and I don’t do well in this crazy TX heat… which means that running a couple laps at full speed around a …

Changes

Moving some things around here again so stay tuned for that.  I’d give a race report from NM but I SUCKED IT UP and pulled 2 7ths.  Was getting cut of 2nd pedal with no room to get my spin on.  That class was no joke.  Planning on post more pictures/videos up here with some …

Back in the ATX

Back home. What a whirlwind the last 10 days or so has been… Will write/post more later but for now… Got to bike some: See some awesome bike action: Board: Eat: And lots more… but (warm and humid or not!) we are glad to be back home

Don’t Stop!

Not the Foreigner song… this trip! Just had an AWESOME dinner at Rim Rock and just looking through videos/pictures from the week. Couple below. 1st is the dirt jumps im going to hit up tomorrow and the 2nd is a video of some guys skimming across a water hole on snowboards. I thought they were …

It’s Coming…

Wow… was a bit humid/rainy today but in the afternoon it was beautiful.  Really glad I’ve got the CJ7 back on the road and I’m definitely looking forward to getting out to the lake soon.  Come on SUMMER!@!! In other great news (to some of us at least!) Google took another step towards making me …

Meh.131

In an odd mood lately… maybe it’s because I can actually stand up without MASSIVE amounts of pain.  Winning the battle so far after Dr. Thai numbed up some nerves in my lower lumbar facet area.  Hopefully the absence of pain continues and I am able to continue on as a big kid.  Lots of …

Ustream I love you

I have been and continue to be a HUGE fan of ustream. The combination of ustream and backchannels in twitter (such as the #TMN10 that goes along with the below stream) allow for access to professional development resources that were much more difficult to access before. I stream from my droid and webcams occasionally but …

PAIN!!!

This was my pain med + 5hour energy inspired gate slam lap at the 2010 Desoto Nationals. I couldn’t even stand about 5 hours before this lap. Let’s hope that the doctor visits this weekend help fix that issue.

Droid Does 2.1??? No 2.1 for you!

Well I’m sure you non-droid owners are sick of the whining but IM NOTS THE ONLYS ONE! Don’t get me wrong… my Droid DOES lots with the current 2.0.1 ESD56 build but I WANT MORE!  Isn’t that the American way?  What do I want?  I want live wallpapers… I want even more updates to the …

Portable Apps I Love You

A big thanks to Greg Smith for pointing these out to me. I was in search of a portable version of Firebug and since Firefox (and its extensions) can be run as a portable app, voila! My droid is now my own pocket sized carrier of my favorite software and I can run this on …

If Found Please Contact!

Where did it go?! Spring Break… so quick that week went by that I am still trying to figure out if I somehow figured out time travel! Ended up racing Day 1 of the Desoto Nationals and that was interesting… been having problems with my lower back since before November and I’d seen the rehab …

Spring Break is in the House!

In the house for today at least!  We’ve been getting hammered with rain all night and morning.  Pretty standard when a big race is coming up!  Gonna bust out the stumpy gate in a bit to keep my form up since the track won’t be running tonight.  No trails tomorrow either looks like… Desoto… here …

Mod Everything!

Mod it all! I haven’t owned a bicycle, motorcycle, car, website, moodle, etc etc etc that I didn’t mod.  Why not mod things?  It’s easy to find mass produced stuff thats CLOSE to your liking but with a few tweaks is PERFECT!  And thats always way cheaper than getting custom it seems…  Been wanting to …
