For the final part of this series, so to speak, I’ll be reviewing my keyboard + mouse. Being that these devises are what you primarily touch when on a computer, it makes sense to make sure they’re what you want. The keyboard I went with is a Unicomp Spacesaver. Here’s a brief history and background: […]

The Computer. The most integral piece of any modern man’s workspace. I personally don’t buy into the extravagantly marked-up prices of Apples. Granted, aesthetic appeal and user friendliness are definitely there, but I like to look at things from a more utility-oriented standpoint. That’s why my main desktop is a Windows PC, and the route I […]

It’s been over 5 days now since the extraction, and I’m still handicapped. This “grey” time period after the surgery, but before total healing is the worst, in my opinion. At the beginning, all the pain was to be expected, which made dealing with it much easier. Now it just seems like I’m counting the […]

Here’s a look at my “office.” Nothing fancy, but the old desk I was using drastically needed updating. My criteria wasn’t stringent, all I wanted was something affordable and usable. I settled on one of those assemble-at-home desks you can find at most large retailers (in my case I went to Office Max). I specifically […]

After prolonging the inevitable, I finally got my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. Thanks to my stubbornness and a false hope that I’d fine with them left alone, I was able to hold off for about 2 years. To be frank, I’m shamefully skilled in the art of procrastination. It was easy to make excuses like, […]

Just when I thought all the local riding locations consisted of lame fireroads, I decided to give one more trail a shot, and found a gem. I rode it mainly because it was so close to where I live. People call it the Hayward Plunge, named after the rather creepy looking indoor swimming pool at […]

It seems like it was only yesterday when I picked up the SM610 from San Ramon… and it may as well have been. I undoubtedly have a history (mental illness) of buying, building, and then promptly selling. Don’t ask what’s wrong with me, because I can’t really say. Notwithstanding, I can give you a reason […]

Forward-thinking is promoted by maintaining a way of thought uncorrupted by trivialities and misdirections. It thusly dictates a way of living, and is a state of mind one should be cognizant of and desire to achieve. I found the quote below to be very insightful and relevant, so I thought I’d share. “Cherish your solitude. […]

Several months ago in June, I met up with a photographer for a Modified Magazine feature. After the photoshoot was over, the buzz around the whole deal died off. Then recently, out of the blue, the editor for the magazine contacted me again to finalize on a few details. The first word I received on […]

Spent the most part of this week in the city of Austin. I didn’t bring my actual camera with me for this trip, because I didn’t think the place would be anything too out of the ordinary to warrant it.  Started off by seeing downtown… which isn’t that big in my opinion, although clean and […]

I only took one picture from this most recent trip, but figured it’d be worth posting regardless for cataloging purposes. The past couple of days I was over at the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina. Didn’t see too much, and there wasn’t anything much out of the ordinary to note. The weather was cold there, the […]

Was in New York City this last work week, and got another look at the center of Manhattan. With the weather in the Bay Area being in the 50s when I left, I was surprised to find out that New York was around the same temperatures, and even hotter towards Wednesday. Anyway, during my trip I […]
