Markko Martin has held on to win Rally Finland (his second WRC win) by 58 seconds over Petter Solberg. Despite what Solberg said in the service park today and yesterday (he would just fight for third place as Richard Burn’s Peugeot was just too quick), Solberg won the last stage and beat Burns by over […]

It was a quite a day in Finland, and it looks like the rally will have only its third non-Finnish winner when the dust settles on Sunday (barring a rash of retirements). Where to begin…. First, Marcus Gronholm retired during SS13 with wheel problems. Seems he suffered the same fate as teammate Harri Rovanpera (a […]

Sorry about the delay in getting a post about the rally up. I was having some issues with my recently upgrading mail program. Seems it just didn’t want to work for awhile…. Anyway….

Looks like Bill Gates and Microsoft will begin to assimilate primates into the way of .Net. Is there no justice in this world? The animal kingdom isn’t even safe from the clutches of the Evil Empire!!!

A photo of the new wheels: Still currently geared at 39×16. I did survive Stanton Avenue, but I don’t want to do that every day. I should I have 18 tooth cog for the rear wheel by week’s end, which will make things a little easier. This is essentially the bike I bought for $50. […]

In case you think I was over the edge before with my rant about the roads in my fine city, I’m not the only one who thinks this way: I strongly urge any football fan to take a trip to see this camp. It’s about as pure as anything in this mega-jillion game can be. […]

Piracy Rings Hurt the Music Industry More Than File Sharing I wonder when the RIAA will just admit this? This is like Microsoft going after folks that got a copy of Windoze from their friend instead of purchasing it. I used to work with a Pakistani fellow, and one day he asked us if we […]

Two new software installs this weekend: 1. Mandrake 9.2 beta 1. I had a whole 20GB drive sitting in my machine at home with a lame Gentoo install on it, and I read that beta 2 will contain the newest 2.6 kernel, so I thought “what they hey” and installed beta 1. Very nice. Gnome […]
