Nebraska In Drought

With all the rainfall and flooding the Midwest has seen recently it's hard to imagine that just four years ago we were suffering from drought. Here's a thought provoking short documentary on the historic drought conditions from years past as told by my roommate, Brent, and his friend Mitchell.

Is It Radio If It's On The Computer?

I can never catch what I want to catch on National Public Radio or on any radio for that matter.
It's my schedule — or lack of one — that's to blame. Or maybe it's my inability to sit by a radio for long stretches of time.
I am one of those folks who sits in front of a computer for long stretches of time, though. And not coincidentally, I'm listening to more radio then ever.
Also not coincidentally, I'm liking more radio than ever.

Radio Lab is at the top of my list (and Studio 360, and This American Life, and Fresh Air), but all NPR programming is available free and on-line — either through downloads, streaming, or by subscribing to podcasts — so now you can listen to whatever you want, whenever you want.

All this digital goodness, as well as the analog version, is free of advertising and suggestive sales pitches, the lack of which has been shown to have a calming effect lab rats. But don't forget — radio or not, schedule or not — NPR only works if it's supported through your donations.
Your inner lab rat thanks you.

Think globally, act locally, listen universally.

Exactly Where I'm At

Growing up skating was as much about taking trips as it was about riding skateboards.

This is just like I remember it.

Cross For Sale

I'm selling this bike. Cheap. It'll be hard to let go, but I thought I'd offer it up locally before i put it up on the world wide wow.
Hand built steel, cool mix of parts (some new, some not), fender friendly, raceable, rideable.
60cm or so.
Direct all your questions, test-ride requests, photo requests, or friendly visits to me through the comments.

Why does it have to go?
Making room for the future, i guess.
