FYI - Dan pointed out in another thread (maybe this one?) MSE may no longer be a good option. I can't find the relevant link right now but google produced mixed results about whether or not MS is still updating MSE. For years it was the best, but I've been using other stuff now given the uncertainty.

http://connect.garmin.com/activity/607297237 I wish I could figure out how to embed the small frame version of the activity but since my programming skills tap out at BASIC I've had zero luck.

I can only concur with the fact that it got cold in a hurry. I decided to get back into the whole cycling to work thing this week and it was a balmy 32 when I left the house this morning at 6am. Stupdily did not wear my booties and my feet were frozen after the ~20 mile trip in. This afternoon should be seriously nice with temps now in the mid 60s but I could do without the 12mph wind in my face that is predicted for the ride home. Oh well, you don't get a choice, right? And Jeff, I can't really imagine a bike lighter than my Calfee. It already feels so much lighter than the Roubaix and I really need to remember to have the shop throw it on the scale the next time I bring it in.

I am glad to say that not only did I get to go to Doug's, I got to go with this crew.

Nicely done! I got back out, still used the chesty to less than impressive levels of footage but explored some new-to-me sections of the area where I've been riding the MTB the last few years. There's just so much good stuff.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Congrat!!

Got out on the MTB again today and started playing with the chesty that I picked up this week. Didn't get the angle right the first time but the few stills that I accidentally took actually came out ok somehow.... It was a great day, temps in the mid 70s, not so many leaves on the ground as to completely obscure the trail. I'm going to head back out tomorrow afternoon which is supposed to provide the same weather all over again. I've already reconfigured the mount so with a little luck I'll have usable footage.

I can't imagine this happening if the phone is in your front pocket, sitting on it on the other hand would absolutely have the potential to generate enough force without pain.

The experiment shown is not entirely relevant to the phone in your pocket real world since your ass is going to impart a much more uniform pressure over a larger area than the test gig. Still, I guess it at least gives some comparative information, I just have no idea how useful it is.

They will not have devices with data plans for years. If I have my way.

I think the new pricing will allow both my wife and I to upgrade phones and pay less a month than we are currently. We will lose unlimited data but neither of us cracks a guig a month usually so it's not worth paying more for anymore.

I'm not seeing this plan anywhere on their website. Cheapest I can find is $90 a month for u/u/2gb. What am I missing?

At least there wasn't a stud there.

I'm hardly a rain god and (knock on wood) actually typically have pretty good luck with travel and weather. All indications are for a wet fall along the eastern seaboard so it's not all that shocking that things are unsettled here. When I left home yesterday it was gorgeous, 75 and sunny with a light breeze. Clearly the lesson is that I should have stayed home!

That and I have a fondness for lightning.

Visited scenic Norfolk, VA which provided both torrential downpours and minor coastal flooding. The perfect weather for a site visit if I do say so myself. I'm headed back north tomorrow morning only to have this storm follow me up the coast. Wuhoo!

That sucks, Zach. I hate wasting time on stuff that just doesn't matter that much in the end only to have found that the wasted time just lead to more wasted time.

I wonder how many HC'ers are on untappd?

Happy Birthday, Jim!

Oh boofuckinghoo, Jacob. I have no idea why your so damn combative in this thread, it does not reflect well either. I've had many phones, including an iphone and none of them ever bent despite being put through far worse than sitting on them. Is that luck? Perhaps. But is it really such a stretch to think that some manufacturer (and it doesn't matter who) pushed the envelope of thin/light too far? I'm not saying it has happened and I'll be surprised if it did, honestly, but the vehemence with which you respond to pretty light-hearted posts is fucked up. Crappy, your post was fine, fret not. Your cheerios lacked the requisite piss this morning, clearly. Al, isn't this just an opportunity for Sammy to sue Apple for infringement on their flexible phone concept? See the good in the bad, my lawyerly friend.

But you're smart enough to know not to sit on your phone. Still it'll be interesting to see if this is a pervasive issue or isolated.

Like!

Yay DIY!
