Ralph Nader disgusts me. That is all.

101 in 1001 #8: VwaV Chickpea-Hijiki Salad Sandwiches
For probably only the second time ever (the first time was the chickpea broccoli casserole, coincidentally), I’m not really happy with a recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance. The Chickpea-Hijiki Salad Sandwiches (and also, I must say, I am not amused by calling them sammiches — it’s not cute, it’s annoying) are … odd. The […]
Stunning insight by Wikipedia
Wikipedia has this to say, in their article titled Daoism-Taoism romanization issue: The history of transcribing spoken Chinese is lengthy and inconsistent. I just have to say “Y’think, really?”
Cycletopia
I’ve been paying some attention to the news coverage of the Tour of California prologue that I volunteered for on Sunday, and I’ve wound up pretty disappointed. If the Merc is going to put Ann Killion in the main section, then they should ask her to give a wider coverage of the event and not […]
101 in 1001: #2 (pizza) and #60 (tennis)
I knocked off a few more of my goals today, as well as doing my taxes (which were actually pretty easy). #2: Make my own pizza with no help. This wasn’t a huge deal because I’ve made pizza a number of times as half a team, but I wanted to do it by myself. I […]
101 in 1001 #9 & #10: Eating well
As part of becoming aware of what I’m eating, I started keeping a food diary again. Keeping a food diary for me is sort of like keeping a budget. It’s something very picky and obsessive that I do okay with for about a month or two at a time, which is all I really need […]
Oh boy
The spambots have discovered my blog. Suck! Now I have to see if I can get a plugin working so I don’t have to moderate by hand. But while I am, thank you WP for the Mark all as spam option!
Lance Armstrong brings attention to all kinds of cycling
I’ve been known to complain about the lack of bike advocacy and neglect of bike commuting by racers, particularly Lance Armstrong, since he’s got such a high profile. But Armstrong is stepping up, opening a bike shop that’ll sell a lot of different kinds of bikes and equipment as well as serve as a bikestation. […]
Eating consciously
I’m the last person you’d think would claim to need to work on my food intake. I cook for myself and eat mostly whole foods (in spite of my obsession with chocolate mint cookies). But I feel like I haven’t really been pushing myself to eat sensibly, on the excuse that given that I buy […]
Obstacle course
This morning’s trip down Evelyn was an obstacle course for some reason. An Aramark truck, a guy backing out who couldn’t see because of the Aramark truck, a person coming out forward who was just being careless, a guy walking his bike right into the lane as I was coming (even though there is no […]
