Baby Steps

Another AFM round down, 3 more to go. I’m happy to report I came out relatively unscathed (a poked thumb and burnt finger due to playing unsafely with safety wire (oh the irony) and my left big toe hurts like hell from banging in my down shifts… time to finally get new boots I think. My muscles ache from not going to the gym in months, but my back which has been giving me problems lately feels great. With the important stuff out of the way, here’s how things went:

So on monday, Apple announced the newest version of the iPhone, the 3GS. Personally, I’m pretty excited about the new iPhone and looks to be a worthy successor to my current iPhone (no 3G for me). But many current iPhone 3G owners are up in arms that AT&T isn’t going to allow them to upgrade their phone for the reduced (subsidized) price of $199 like new customers or those customers who aren’t already at the end of their 2 year contract.

Round 3 Race Report

Posted by Synfinatic on May 25, 2009 at 10:14 pm in Crackdays & Racing.

Just got back from a great round 3 at Sears Point. My buddy Eric joined me again which was great since he could help me with any bike issues and he’s a great sounding board for working through my challenges out on track.

After having such a difficult first racing experience the last round, I came in with some simple goals:

Ride the bike more then wrenching on it
Improve my lap times
Don’t finish last!

On a more cheerful note, I just received my Novice competition license from the AFM. Not crashing has benefits! :) #
with all the “unsubscribe” messages lately going to mailing lists I’ve considered creating a wall of shame 4 people who can’t figure it out #
Horrible call by the refs. The NHL really needs to rethink the I-cant-see-the-puck/whistle rule #

Mixing C and C++ when porting from MSVC++ to gcc/g++ is evil. #

@MatMladin OMFG. Why does DMG hate the racers so much? Even NASCAR wouldn’t run and they have cages. Just total f**king insanity.

Hard call: Ducks/RedWings or MotoGP?? Wife wants hockey so I guess the racing will have to wait. Now the harder question: who to root for?
