Tomorrow, we get out of work a little early, and load into the Saab for a trip down to NYC for the “Gotham Scooter Rally”:http://gothamrally.org. From everything we’ve heard, Brooklyn will be burning by sunday night.
“Presley”:http://presley.suckahs.org and I are relatively new scooterists, and this is our first rally. “Jason”:http://bloodymortyvane.typepad.com/ and “Kim”:http://starstreamgirl.textamerica.com/ of course are responsible for this… so a special thanks to them for all their help getting Lisa’s ‘63 Lambretta Li125 on the road. If all goes well, next week I’ll be riding a 25-year old Vespa p200… sadly I won’t have it for Gotham, but I’m psyched, nonetheless.
Sooooo, look out NYC. Can’t wait to see you “Kunta”:http://suckahs.org/crew/kuntakinte.php, Renee, “Jenna”:http://jennarator.com/, and the rest of you “Yankee-liking swine”:http://www.yankee-hater.com/.
I stumbled upon an interesting blog design in my “referrals”:http://ned.suckahs.org/refer/ — “klypso.com”:http://klypso.com/. Paul used “Terminal” for his blog’s typeface. It’s quick-loading, lean-and-mean, but Paul chose to forgo the “CSS trend”:http://www.zeldman.com/, and build it with old-fashioned _Tables_.
As soon as I saw it, I had a flashback to college and X-Windows, “Lynx”:http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fnedward.org, Emacs… And then back to high school and 9600-baud connections to BBSs. We’ve come a long way, no?
Forgive the silly title — I had to send my “12-inch PB”:http://ned.suckahs.org/archives/001758.php#001758 away to Tennessee (or wherever “Apple”:http://apple.com does their heavy tech support), because the slot-load drive was locking up.
So this is my first Apple hardware issue…
In 4+ years with my “Dell”:http://dell.com, the only hardware issue I ever had was my Dell Trinitron monitor (which went bad at 2 years, 11 months).
Is this an indication of what I can expect in the future?
