  • The more you do it, the easier it gets, as your hair gets weaker and finer. So, it'll never be worse than the first time!
  • You need a better commute sitch for next year if you're 5 days to the hill with no commute. You really should live on the west side. I'd say Goose Hollow is still a bit too far to Pioneer Square (for Pio shuttle) and bus mall, but it's better than w…
  • p.s. Flossy I am SUPER interested.

  • Sorry, guys - I sort of accidentally made the jelly on a whim this morning, so there wasn't time to invite anybody. YT, stick with either jam/jelly and pickles and you won't have to worry about botulism; it's only an issue in low-acid canning (and…

  • Me too! Or maybe go on a beginner backpacking trip???

  • Imma make a batch of rhubarb jelly either tomorrow or later this week. I'll let you know when; anybody who wants to can come watch.

  • Good stuff, YT! I love their blog.
  • This is one of my favorite threads ever. More please.
  • Should I come get you in the bakfiets?
  • I am in LA. Tomorrow morning we are hosting the first Kidical Mass (big ol family bike ride) in Santa Monica and we have 92 people signed up. Free pizza! Dress up green for earth day (early)! Come on down!
  • LT, as I think about this project more, I think I'd like to learn about how to do this myself. I predict that this client will demand multiple rounds of re-editing, and I can't keep shopping it out to our subcontractor without driving him crazy. Can…
  • Yeah, the video won't make any $. We're just assembling portions of existing bike education videos in a specific order so that our teachers don't have to queue up a ton of online videos to different segments. (We can't use complete existing videos b…
  • Doing that now. Thanks again.
  • Well...it's a little bit helpful. The question you're answering is, 'where can I find public domain/copyright-free content?' whereas I need to answer, 'is this specific item public domain/copyright-free?' I'm still working through what you found, a…
  • "I purposely use video from government agencies because it is OK to reuse without permissions." How do you know that/how does it work?
  • OMG you are some kind of angel, LT! So, you really think I'm in the clear on copyright/permissions? I already have a clear list of which sections I need...
  • I am happy with Virgin Mobile. $35/month for my iPhone 4 (my choice because I'm cheap; they also have 4S). 300 minutes and unlimited data/texting. No contracts, no rollover crap. Once you exceed your minutes per month you just pay 10 cents per minut…
  • I really enjoyed that article. It reminded me how back in maybe 2003 or 2004 I went to Europe and ended up hanging out with a guy in Amsterdam and staying at the house of another guy in Berlin that I knew from Flickr. Because they took pictures of t…
  • I wouldn't hold out much hope for a liberalizing Catholic church, y'all. They seem to be entrenching and getting way more evil and politically savvy. This article from The Stranger does a great job of portraying the nearly-invisible shift in the Cat…

  • My twits is deep bike/transpo nerdery. If you like that kind of thing, my handle is just my full name.
  • Thanks, everybody! Mike, why is Tweetbot ($$) better than the free Twitter app, which seems perfectly functional to me? Also, Find2Car is no longer supported as an app. You have to use the Car2Go official app.
  • OK, fine, hosting fees are way more reasonable. But less fun. We should have a party anyway.
  • Can we pool the signup fees and have an awesome party?
  • Oh right, I forgot about that. I was wondering how Dr J. knew that my JB was wearing a black mock turtleneck today. But that makes more sense.
  • @DrJ - which JB?
  • Generally speaking, my preferred transportation modes when there is snow are, in this order: 1. Walking (with big ol' waterproof boots and Yak Trax). You are totally in control of your destiny, and staying warm in the cold weather. Not so good for …

  • Are we having an UrHo Holiday Party, then? I think that is a great idea! I will bring something delicious! 12/21, maybe? Let's do decide because (boring grownup problems alert) we'd need to find a babysitter.
  • Did not know.
  • That guy sounds like an entitled, arrogant jerk. Oh wait, he's a white man? What a surprise!!!
  • Dr. Hayward, I have no idea what you are talking about. Does that make me not of the design generation too? Explain, please?
