I have recently purchased a road bike. I have been looking for an alternative to running. Not that I don’t enjoy running but when you run 5 miles or greater after a while it gets repetitive. I attempted to use my mountain bike and do some miles on the road but it was not working too well.
After some research I ended up going to my favorite bike shop in Grand rapids – FreeWheeler
I’ve put a few miles on my new bike, but realize that I need some bike shorts. Somehow my bike shorts that I used on my mountain bike got wrecked in the drier. It is amazing how fast you can go on a road bike.

If this article is news to you, please take the time to learn how to be secure. If the idea of doing more work to be secure scares you then please take the time to do a few minor things. Understand that when using public wifi (anywhere you don’t know who’s wi-fi network you are using) do not do anything that you would not want the person sitting next to you to see. Example: don’t do banking, online purchases, or share any personal information.
The reason you would not do these activites is you do not know who is listening or watching. It is releativley simple for a hacker to intercept (“man in the middle”) your information as you are using the wi-fi network. The interception happens because of the wi-fi you are using is available to everyone around you.
If you do intend to use public wifi please use a VPN or some other method to secure your information.

If you are part of the group that is having reception issues with your new iPhone 4, here is a great DIY bumper.

Instead of purchasing a $30 bumper, you can make one with a $1 Bracelet.
What would be interesting is if you could find an Apple branded bracelet.

The project known as “Kin” is now being killed inside microsoft. Engadget is running a post that explains what they believe is going on.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/30/what-killed-the-kin/
The concept behind the Kin was to create a low price device that would allow people to stay connected to social media / cloud information. Essentially a blackberry to those not needing a blackberry. What I found interesting during the discussions of the “kin” project was how this all fit together with the upcoming windows 7 phone OS.
From the article it is unclear what Microsoft’s direction is. What I did take away was that a device that many people did not think would succeed is no longer being offered.
What are your thoughts on the KIN?
