I have found mirroring my screen from my iPad to my AppleTV works alright. I have been extremely annoyed that I have to do this. Apple makes it trivially easy to reuse basically the same code from iOS to tvOS, so there really is no excuse not to have an AppleTV native app.

I was on I-70 yesterday, and apparently just got through that area before it hit. I left Beaver Creek at about 1:00pm, stopped at the Dillon Dam Brewery for lunch around 3:30pm, and finally made it into Denver at 7:30.

That goes along with what I was going to say - do not blame GenX for this. We are significantly smaller than the remaining Baby Boomers and Millennials. In 2018, there are an estimated 74 million Baby Boomers, 71 million Millennials, and 66 million GenXers. If you note most marketing, ads almost never try to sell to…

My parents had a Chevy Vega in the 70s. In the 80s, at one point, they had the following two cars in the garage:

One of my great regrets in life was not buying a Corrado SLC. It was probably about 2000, and I was very serious about the one sitting at a local dealership. Dark green exterior over black leather interior. I test drove it a couple of times.

The big thing for me is not using the same light for both braking and turn signals. So think about a car with two red taillights that do double function - when brakes are applied, the red light comes on solid. When the turn signals are turned on, that side’s same red light blinks on and off.

Stupid duplicate.

You may have seen these two promo bits:

I remember seeing a list a few years ago. Various models of the Ford Explorer made up a good portion of the list.

I’m not familiar with any riding pants that have vents, though many full suits clearly do.

I hope it drives better. I was looking at a Subaru (what can I say, I live in Colorado. They issue you a Subaru or a Jeep when you move here, along with a puffy coat and five pair of sunglasses) and drove both the Crosstrek and the Outback. The Crosstrek felt horrible the entire time. The Outback felt so much more…

I definitely get through security with food all the time. My favorite is usually a Jimmy John’s sandwich. This December my mother sent me home with a decent tupperware full of cake and a lot of yeast rolls. Basically one of my carryon bags was 100% food. It got pulled aside at security, but they swabbed for explosives…

My first car was a 1986 505STI that I inherited in 1994. Of course it was silver, since they almost all were.

I took my MSF course this summer, over the long July 4th weekend. I had ridden a friend’s bike a few times, so I was marginally more prepared than the other seven people in the class. Of course it was 90+ degrees all weekend, which meant standing out in a parking lot in long sleeves and pants all the more miserable.

I have been car-less for the last ten years. I have survived a bicycle as my primary or secondary form of transportation in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City, and now Denver. I have had one bike stolen, and one bike lose both its wheels while locked up. I have never been in an accident on my bike in that…

Earlier this year I was volunteering at a small airplane and car show, held on the tarmac of a small airport. Apparently the year before one of the trailers had backed into an expensive piece of airport something-or-other and caused a lot of damage. The year the airport had mandated no trailers were to go onto the…

We lucked out and got an AirBnB just down the road from the circuit (opposite direction from Austin, meaning we got to miss most of the traffic). It was about a 10 minute ride from the house to the track.
