My Mongoose Dolomite ALX fat bike came with knobby Arisun Big Fatty tires. They are decent enough, and they are probably well suited to loose dirt trails. However, they are fairly noisy on pavement, and I don’t really plan to ride dirt trails that much with my fat bike. Looking around, the fat tire most […]
When I was buying my new road bike, the question of what bike computer to put on it came up. I had a Sigma bike computer on the bike that had been my primary bicycle, but it would take some work to move it, and its cadence sensor had never worked right. I let the […]
I wanted to love Loki, but it was really just okay. Only six episodes, and it kind of jumped the shark from the beginning. In retrospect, possibly the best thing about the character Loki is his relationship with Thor, who does not appear in this series. At least I know what the alligator is about, […]
The weather has become cool enough that I have switched over to heating the house. With this change, my cooking behavior will also change. The main difference is that I will (mostly) stop using the grill outside and begin using the oven inside. Colder outdoor temperatures inhibit the efficiency of the grill, especially when relying […]
All three of my bicycles are in working order again, and it’s because I bought and used a wheel truing stand to fix the warped wheel on my hybrid bike. This past February, and again in August, I failed to correctly strap my bike into my bike rack, and the rear wheel dropped onto the […]
I have been using the Biking layer of Google Maps for years to find new bike trails and good roads for cycling. I was surprised to discover this week that nearly the entire length of Jeffco Boulevard is shown as a “bicycle-friendly road”. I was surprised by this because, in my opinion, Jeffco Boulevard is […]
The fourth and allegedly final season of Goliath was released yesterday, and I binged through the whole season last night and into the early hours of this morning. I was surprised that there was a fourth season, because the third season had so spectacularly run off the rails. To summarize, the first two seasons were […]
Isaac Asimov was well aware of the natural human tendency to fear things that appear kind of human, but aren’t quite. He went out of his way to show that robots wouldn’t be dangerous, simply because the people who made them would ensure that they aren’t. His Three Laws of Robotics aren’t the result of […]
For years, my only bicycle was a Specialized Sirrus hybrid bike. It is eleven years old, and it has served me well. I recently bought a fat bike, but it’s not a serious bike, and its usefulness to me is limited. Anyway, last weekend I broke my Sirrus again. The parts are on back-order, and […]
I have finally made sense of this contradiction — and it’s all thanks to the Taliban. I was at a burlesque show, one of many shows I have attended. Also attending were a couple, mutual friends of mine and a few of the performers. It came up that this was the first burlesque show they […]
