As previously confessed, I stood in line for 7 hours to get an iPhone. Peer pressure keeps getting me even though I am now 32. I am starting to think I am lucky however. Some people are still waiting for their phones to go active. Ouch. I came home. Updated iTunes (that took a few…

iPhone
Yup, I got one. I was going to go mountain biking at lunch today, but instead I got suckered into going down to the local AT&T store and waiting for 7 hours to get one of these babies. They are cool. The screen is sweet. The interface is slick. I love to browse through my…
Finished My First Cycling Century Today
I rode the MS150 today. Originally I wasn’t going to, but my brother was very gung ho and I finally decided that if I was ever going to ride 100 miles I would need a reason to do it. We started at 8 am. Even then it was warm. It was around 95 degree farenheit…

Gave up on Road Bike, Going off Road with Santa Cruz Blur XC
Too much research can fry one’s brain. I have been looking for a new road bike forever. In the meantime my lust for the dirt has been growing so I bought a new Blur XC with SRAM X0. Once upon a time I spent a lot of time on a mountain bike. That was a…
SEO – rip offs-R-us
I sat in a meeting at the university today and listened to a sales pitch by an SEO company. We get calls at The Plan Collection for these all the time. I need to setup one of these companies. They are usually run by a couple of jokers who know very little about SEO. In…
