Laughed way too much at this.

When I first starting pedaling that 5 mile one way commute, I thought the same thing. I had to get off and walk on the hills. After a while of doing it though, I was muscling up those hills like I WAS Armstrong. After about 6 months, it was taking me 15 minutes to pedal that 5 miles, and I felt awesome.

I get this. I'm a sweaty dude myself, and I usually bring a towel with me just to dry off after I get where I'm going. It doesn't help that summers here can get up to 110+ Fahrenheit.

In case anyone was curious:

Damnit Fahey, you've only reminded me that I'm not playing Bravely Default right now. It's like I'm afraid to invest myself into it, for fear of how deep it's talons will dig into my flesh.

I've given up energy drinks. Next step is to give up soda too. I've also gotten back on the bicycle, mostly because my car burned to the ground a couple of days ago.

A comforting sense of completion?

I started watching this after reading this article, and got kinda hooked. Up to episode 12 already.

This is true of a lot of industries. From retail to cars, these guys are wondering where everyone and their money is. What they don't realize is that everyone is probably at home trying to figure out how to pay the rent on the low wages and weak hours they earn, and their money is nonexistent. In the mean time,…

That looks fun to watch. I ride a road bike myself. Maybe I should get a stationary trainer for it and pedal the thing in the living room while watching this. As a cyclist, I would be considered a "clydesdale" at 240lbs.

Probably only if you have an understanding wife/girlfriend, or are unattached otherwise. You may receive some sideways looks if not.

I sort of used to do this. Before I got married and was more frivolous with my income, I would place a lot of preorders, and buy a lot of games. Then, in the final days leading up to my next payday, I would find myself with no money for gas, but I still had to get to work. I would just visit my local Gamestop and…

People used to say something similar when talking about the development of the electric light, the automobile, the airplane, the Internet, and countless other technical achievements. While I don't think Valve is doing anything as game-changing as developing the automobile was, I still think they're on to something…

Replace the entire steering column with an Xbox 360 controller, and you have a very intuitive control system for an entire generation of younger drivers. The lack of a steering wheel means manufacturers can implement more convenient places to store your Mountain Dew and Cool Ranch Doritos.

I've got the Retrolink NES pad. It feels pretty good, like you would expect an NES controller to feel. Good responsive buttons too. The only thing I would be wary about are the analog sticks on the N64 and GC controllers.

I have some new information that I didn't know when I wrote that previous post.

Wow. John Carmack looks YOUNG. It's like he's doing what he really wants to do right now, and this has energized and refreshed him, compared to the rest of us who hate our jobs and look like haggard zombies.

Seems like the horizontal resolution is a bit higher in Morpheus than in the Rift HD prototype. I haven't seen any details as to the method used to create a VR experience with Sony's offering, so I'm not sure how it stacks up to the Rift exactly.

So buy a PS3. They're inexpensive at this point in time, and there's more than enough value and enjoyment to be had with one.

Do a whole Snacktaku on a range of peppers, starting from the lowly jalapeno and working your way up to the mighty and feared Trinidad Moruga Scorpion.
