Once again, I’ve been totally passed over for the 10 Sexiest Geeks List, but that’s all political anyways. It’s all about who you know
I am a 10 over on Wired’s Geekdad blog, however. Number 10, to be exact, on their 12 days of Geekmas contest. I’m giving away a copy of Me Geek Pretty One Day, a yo-yo, some comics, and other goodies. To enter, all you have to do is leave a comment on their blog. Easy! Get to it, the giveaway ends tomorrow.

I’ve started riding my bike again for various reasons. I’ve been working in San Mateo a few days a week and got tired of taking BART to CalTrain, so I’m trying to bike to the downtown CalTrain Station, then just take CalTrain all the way. I used to bike this same path 5 days a week for over a year while I worked at the SF Weekly, and the general trip time was about 15 minutes from what I could recall.
Since I’m just getting back into the swing of biking this route again, I thought I’d keep track of my rides with my iPhones stopwatch.
Last week, my first ride in over a year so I decided to just bike normally. From my steps to the station was around 14 minutes and 40 seconds.
Yesterday I had a planned lunch with my friend Scott, but I was 45 minutes early so I decided to take a real casual ride to kill time. From my steps to the station took 14:57… riding slow!
So today I figure I could probably shave off a few minutes if I tried hard enough. I pedaled like a maniac, running through more signs and lights than I ever do, and really zipping through the city. From my steps to the station took 14:54!!! At full speed!!! Running lights and everything.

I wrote an article on the Laughing Squid blog about the recent Emily Strange controversy. After watching some of the comments come in, I began wondering if there was a certain type of person that was physically unable to see the original image of Rosamond side by side with the nearly identical image of Emily (cats, text, and all). Maybe they couldn’t see it because it was too obvious, so I drew the image above to help them figure it out.

While traveling in Europe, I amassed a small cache of fail-like images. Here are some from my short stay in Prague:
Beef with “faggots”.
Sperm. Of course I ordered it. The texture was spot on, but luckily it didn’t have that Ajax flavor.
BLT, with no bacon or tomato… and it has pickles in it.
A very non-descript way to refer to types of beef. I assume the Einstien is cow brain and the Presley is something from the hips.
