When I was very young I did things by hand but was told it was not a decent thing to do. I now rely on mechanical devices, usually battery operated.

This gif puts me in a steady state of that satisfaction you get out of a good shave. I think it must be what a dog feels like when you scratch its neck.

I took my ailing first-generation Macbook Pro to the Apple Store because the keyboard and mouse failed, and I was sick and tired of taking it apart myself. I was told that this model of laptop along with the G4 powerbook has an approximate $200 parts, $100 labor flat rate for any and all repair. Sounded too good to be true, but I sent it in anyway. This was at 8PM on the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. By Tuesday, my laptop was returned with:
They essentially replaced everything but the screen, battery, and hard drive, giving me a brand new (but 5 years out of date) laptop. Total cost? $310. I think Apple will be keeping me as a customer.

Usually the ‘torn skin to reveal machines’ tattoo is pretty bad but this is in my opinion a great one.

So I’m putting together a bike from spare parts that I mostly already have sitting around so that I have something to leave at our rehearsal studio downtown because nothing’s quite close enough to walk but it’s such a pain to drive and repark.
So far I have:
- a black fixed wheelset with not-skinny but not-quite-mountainy tires
- a GT hybrid frame that’s a little bit like this with a top tube that’s not as horizontal:

- A cheap brown plastic saddle that is made to look a bit like a fancy leather one
- a maroon chain
- crank that came with the frame + single stack bolts so I can just reuse the big chainring
- Plastic platforms and some homemade velcro straps
As you can tell, this is going to be a ghetto / durable / leave tied up downtown without worrying kind of frankenbike. The one thing I just cannot figure out is what kind of handlebars to stick on it! It has an ugly tall stem with straight mountain bike bars that I could leave on, or I could flip and chop some drop bars I have sitting around, or I could get cheapo handlebars / stem from amazon/ebay. I just don’t know what style would be the awesomest with this combination. Halp - twitter @thedaniel with your advice!
