A Saturday ride
This is a boring post, so I'll keep it short. 30.81km, max speed 45.9 km per hour, 1 hour 52 minutes ride time. Around lake Tuggeranong and so forth. [icbm: home]
Hetherington, 82, created Mr Squiggle in 1959 – a decade before men without strings landed on the moon
Mr Squiggle was an ABC created children's character. I certainly remember him... [icbm: work]
Addiction?
I've been feeling agitated all week, and really quite stressed out. This could be because of: The three conference papers i give next week in Perth Including the opening keynote The impending release of the product I work on The two book chapters I am meant to be writing this week The PhD work I am meant to be doing Not spending enough time with the kids or Grant and Lindsay's departure from TOWER HQ yesterday But I've put it down to being because I hadn't been for a bike ride since Saturday, so I just went for a 12.14km, 41 minute, ride around ANU and the edge of the lake. Now I feel better, if more sweaty. [icbm: work]

Weekend riding
Not as much riding as I had hoped for over the weekend, as I ended up with yet another headache this afternoon. The frequency of them is decreasing though, so I think I am getting over whatever bug is causing them. Anyways, 12km yesterday -- a ride from Dad's house to my house, and then a couple of test rides when playing with the gears on my brother in law's bike. [icbm: home]
Hamster powered mobile phone charger
I so need a hamster powered mobile phone charger. Now. Please. [icbm: work]
A lunch time ride
I can't go for a ride tomorrow lunch because it's Lindsay's farewell from TOWER. I therefore went on a longer ride today -- from work to ANU, ANU down Clunies Ross until you hit the lake (not literally), turn left, out and around the National Museum, over Canberra Avenue, and then back up through the city and O'Conner to work. It was 12.13km in total, which isn't too shabby. I even got back in time for my meeting. Next time I really should remember to take a camera. [icbm: work]
Worst timing evar!

I wonder if that paraglider has any drugs?
How about we find out by firing these here machine guns at him? [icbm: work]
Hackathons again
How about a 48 hour hacking session in a house? It forces you to turn of that part of your brain associated with fear of failure, and therefore makes you more creative. Again, this sounds like a cool idea to me. Previous linkage. [icbm: work]
