I had one of these on my eBay watch list for years now and I don’t think I’ve seen more than one come up if that. This one was in my size and the price was right: only $600 for a complete bike. The bike was very well used indeed and it shows. The frame’s …

2012 Felt Virtue LTD
A new bike… The flavor of the month is this sweet Felt Virtue LTD, Medium 17.5″ with full XTR Trail package. Currently, I’m trying to downsize my bike collection a bit and having sold off the Trek and the Xizang frame, this popped up and it looked like a good buy. I’d been eyeing these …
View from the top…
I feel Like I haven’t seen my kids in sooooo long. They came to wake me up this morning after sleeping in a bit. What a nice way to end my first week at DBC…and then I remembered why I’m doing this.
Flying Lessons
First of all, man, it’s only been 3 days??!! Shereef took some time today to talk to us about “empathy”: the interpersonal skill of interaction between human beings and how important it is to refine that skill as a developer. Oftentimes projects fail not because of budgets or time constraints, but because the team couldn’t …
Unlock iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.1 and Downgrade Baseband 6.15.00
OK, the 3GS is a bit dated, but I recently inherited this device from my brother, who I [unsuccessfully] tried to convert to Android with a shiny new Nexus 4. He had been complaining that his 3GS was very slow and wanted the ability to tether to his laptop. He’s on my business plan with …

It’s Baaaack…’94 GT Xizang in da house!
Update: Sold(!) Again! I am now on a quest to thin the herd and sold the frame and am now parting out the rest of the build…I wanted to sell it as a complete, but got a very persuasive offer at $1200(!), so I couldn’t pass it up. I need to get rid of these …
To become a developer…
I did it. I’m going to Dev Bootcamp! After submitting my application back in July, and never hearing back, I figured I had been passed over. Turns out the team at DBC was on a little vacay action and finally got back to me a few weeks ago to set up my Skype interview. I …
2008 Specialized Globe Centrum Singlespeed
I don’t know why, but the first time I saw this bike in Specialized’s catalog, I wanted one. I thought it’s be a cool “city” bike for commuting or whatnot. I don’t think they sold very many of them, as they killed the design/model after just one year. I think it was Specialized’s reaction to …

Yes, I’m old…ish
I crafted this little invite for my birthday bash and thought I should immortalize it on the Internets. If you don’t get the reference, well, then, nevermind…
Stumpjumper Expert 29er: Ride #2
I had just come back from a [far] too long trip to Shanghai to visit my wife’s father, so he could also see our latest creation, Keira: And after a horrible week of jetlag, I was itching for a ride! I called up my buddy and hit the trails last Sunday, once again determined to …
