It was an exciting opportunity to offer their classes some insight into the exciting world of design and learning new technologies.

So for any of the kids at Taylor Street Elementary reading this… I enjoyed speaking with you today, and look forward to learning with you again.

I wasn’t sure if it was done by the previous owner or when it was parked at my house. Then yesterday when I was filling my tank I noticed my car had been tampered with too.

Someone is going around and removing the anti-siphon flaps from the filler necks on cars. With the cost of gas going up people are getting desperate and draining gas from neighborhood cars. They’ve been smart and not draining the tank only skimming from the tank to avoid notice. I immediately bought locking gas caps for both my cars. It’s worth the $12 for the added protection.

The last time I swung my leg over a bike for an actual race. This Sunday I plan on running with the bulls in Sacramento. It’s Cyclocross season again and I’ve got that itch again to race. The series here in Sacramento begins this Sunday at Del Paso Park. I’m really looking forward to the pain and suffering… Here’s a few pictures of my old faithful bike.

You can map routes and share them with other riders.

Here is a map of the route I ride to work:
