A long bike ride in Folsom
Saturday, May 21st, 2011The new solar battery charger I got for my phone kept it at 100% all day. I’ve gotta figure a better mount for it for my everyday bike.

A deer stopped by the trail, I think to check out my solar-powered iphone4 battery.



I really wish I’d asked if I could buy one of these menus, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
Although I think many of these translations are hilarious, it is worth noting that I don’t think badly of whoever put it together –it was extremely courteous of them. Very very few English speakers ever pop into the small town of Hengdian, let alone drop into Ai Qi Coffee. So kudos to that establishment for trying (and largely succeeding) to accomodate the occasional English-speaker.
Customer not really angry.
Are Asian-Americans reclaiming the C-word now? I was a bit shocked to see it, but I suppose Paula either likes it or plays along.
I would kill for a copy of this poster. If anyone in shanghai sees these odes to civic pride being taken down, can you please grab me one?
Haibao is either the mascot of the 2010 world exposition or a puffy blue tooth that stole George Lucas’s hair curl.
Catching up on posting a few photos from that sojourn in Shanghai. This one was shot in a dusty hutong in Shanghai. Grease from a jianbing seems to have clouded my iPhone’s camera. I think I remember at the time choosing not to wipe it off because it looked interesting. The kid in this photo has the perfect kind of barely-reactive wary look. Better that than succumb to overwhelm, can’t have a billion people throwing a tantrum!
You’ve squicked your way past the 11 mile point…
…try to stay ahead of the fuzz. If I were you, I’d keep the Bachman novel, “The Long Walk” in mind for motivation. My hat’s off to anyone who ran or walked or rolled today, amd especially to those who’re spending 8+ hours in the rain, walking the course.
