Deadwood's new Pegoretti
Stiff, yet vertically compliant.
Brands Go Bike Crazy in NYC
Marketers and PR-folk take note, free bike rides just might be the next “pop-up shop” for their universal ability to lure in the general public and it appears retailers are finally starting to catch on. Topshop and Whole Foods recently gave their customers more reason to turn to the alternative mode of transportation, with two bike-centric store events held in NYC.

It's a new me!
I made major change in my life today -- I got contacts. I never wanted them before because I like how I look with glasses but more than that I really didn't want to stick my finger in my eye. This last year though I was pissed at how they kept scratching when i was cleaning them. So now I have daily contacts and I don't have to worry about that anymore. They feel really weird in my eyes but i guess I'll get used to that soon. Once today I was just rubbing my eyes and one of the contacts came out and it took me around 20 minutes to get it back in. I think once I get used to them I will be able to appreciate seeing everything clearly to a greater extent.
I also got a bike today! I don't think I've had one since middle school. I don't know much about bikes but I decided to get a hybrid for comfort. I tested out a '08 GT Nomad on Saturday and I really liked it so I went back with a van to pick up the bike on Sunday, but they already sold it and they had no more '08 models of the GT Nomad in the store. I called a few places and apparently no other bike store in my area sells GT bikes. So I went back to that first store today and picked up a '08 GT Zum. I'll get to ride around the town once more!
I'm surprised I did so much today! This last week has been mostly just bagging out. I'm pretty happy though.
Apple goes more environmental friendly (and more)
I opened System Preferences on my iBook and I noticed the icon from Energiestand (Dutch for Energy Saver - not correct translated by Apple, because Energiestand means something like Energy Setting) has changed, from a light bulb into a more eco-friendly CCFL-style light bulb. I don't know why and how (because I didn't update Mac OS X last week, only a new Safari (4beta to 4final), but that can't be the cause, right?). Then I started comparing my icons with the icons on the internet and I just saw a nice icon for the item Trackpad. Because my iBook is white and doesn't have a new generation Trackpad (the one that doesn't have a separate button, but is a button itself), I changed the icon into one that looks more like my trackpad.
Additionally I have added some screenies and one picture from my bicycles. The screenies are taken in two different browsers, the first one is Safari(4) and the second one is Firefox(3). Compare them, and see which one is better in viewing :P. Firefox also changed the 07 in a 08... (I don't like firefox, sorry, takes up to many memory, is slow and ugly, I like Safari and Chrome - and IE8 is much more better then IE6 and IE7! I HATE IE6!). The pictures from my bicycles was taken some weeks ago, after I painted their butts white. I own them both, one is a gentlemen-model the other (left) is a woman-model. Both are from the same maker and I think they are from the same time...
Hey, my longest post ever :D
