there, got that out of the way. fuck i love drinking and fire on the beach. boxcar was good too, even if pj dewald skunked peter and i out of stepping back from that ledge my friend.
dear fuckin' ginger scott: i have your bag. wtf did you end up doing? it's at my office at uw now, and you'd best come by campus tomorrow (or shultzys for lunch) and retrieve it.
monica i hope you enjoyed the trailer ride. derrick i hope you die in a fire.
See, that was me being clever - tossing my bag into your wagon and on top of Monica while riding. Good job Scott. If I was sober I never would have tried that.
In my inebriation I failed to realise the destination was the boxcar - spent probably 20 minutes waiting at the Fremont bridge - of course my phone took that opportunity to take a shit on me and dump my address book, so couldn't call anyone. I had no idea where you kids had taken off to, and problem solving wasn't at that moment my long suit.
I'm sequestered today doing another forensic collection (hung over) - will have to swing by on Monday or whenever you're available to grab my bag. Thanks for watching out for it.
Ah the life of a lousy drunk and bike jerk. I know, that's redundant.

I had a ziploc bag full of crumbs this morning.
I still can't see straight from so much fire and whiskey (whisky too).
My right SPD is jammed up with sand.
I call that some win.

I failed to actually ride with the group last night, but did manage to trailer 3 trees to the burning.
Also, I arrived at work this morning at 7:30 exactly and was on-time for my meeting. Overall, there is general success.

I am in love with that photo and it makes me miss you all terribly, you jerks. When I find a PC I can offload my shots to I'll have my own bike debaucery stories as well - .83 Taipei is up and running!

not a trick question:
if I own more than one hybrid and three bio diesel trucks, will it save more than one planet or can I sell the credits to martians?

we probably should have stuck to only burning the wood trees this year, those last four or five were fake plastic ones.

No, that was not an April Fool's joke article. Although it is The Times, owned by Rupert Murdoch and the News Corporation that bring you Fox News... so maybe it is a joke. I don't know.
Also, in true zen master form, I answer your rhetorical question with a rhetorical question of my own: If it takes one woman nine months to have a baby, then if I have three women, can they have one baby in three months? Some things do not have conversion factors, grasshopper.

Actually, a software manager would assign three women to the project, pit them against each other, and hope that one of them would get done in only 10-12 months.

Not exactly. But with multi-core becoming so ubiquitous you should just mutli-thread it. By putting the process in parallel you could get 1 baby per 3 months overall. Same latency, better "throughput" if you don't mind my saying so.

i was driving with morgan past yous guys somewhere around the sloop and honked a whole bunch. i figured with the trees tied to you, you must be headed to golden gardens. i tried to get morgan to turn around and she would not. lamecity.
Don't worry, even though Flickr is almost as bad for the environment as riding bicycles or exercise, since you consume thousands, no... billions of kilowatts just running your laptop instead of driving there and pretending you were part of our extreme bonfire, I purchased carbon credits to offset our destruction.
By best count, we burnt 39 trees.
According to here, each tree weighs 25-45 lbs.
According to here, each ton of pine burnt releases 1443.67 kg of CO2 into the atmosphere if burnt.
Therefore, I bought (39 trees)(45 lbs/tree)(1 ton/2000 lbs)(1443.67 kg CO2/1 ton pine) = 1226.8 kg, or 1.396 short tons of CO2 worth of carbon offsets. This cost $19.54.
.83: on the road to carbon neutrality!

That is totally badass.

In this region, it wouldn't be that hard to do the obvious carbon offset for burning a tree: Plant another tree. Or a few other trees, since not every baby tree makes it to Christmas-tree size.
I've got two in pots in my backyard. How about you?

Ok, I can't help it. That article does start off with a rather stupid sarcastic argument, but if you read through the whole thing they have a valid point.
Quote:
“We need to become accustomed to the idea that our food production systems are equally damaging. As the man from Ryanair says, cows generate more emissions than aircraft. Unfortunately, perhaps, he is right. Of course, this doesn’t mean we should always choose to use air or car travel instead of walking. It means we need urgently to work out how to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of our foodstuffs.”
Which, they go on to say, is caused by the modern industrialization of food production, and the ridiculous shipping and trade that goes on with fresh food products (apples from New Zealand?). So in a retarded, roundabout way, that article is really arguing for localization of food production, eating fewer TV dinners and more fresh food. Which is a scary concept for most of the Fox demographic...
