This is a cute illustration by Alex Noriega. I don’t know if TikiRobot and this robot would be compatible as friends, since TikiRobot is likely to be making mai-tais or tossing frisbees to dogs instead of eating people…but maybe he wouldn’t mind break-dancing.

I have to admit, I rarely, if ever, play online games (or computer games of any sort). But lately, I’ve been addicted to this game called Draw My Thing which is basically online, multiplayer Pictionary. It’s so much fun! It’s one of many games that’s part of i’m in like with you. I haven’t played any of the other games yet but I really like Draw My Thing. Sign up so we can play! :-)

I did my last big race of the cyclocross season on sunday and it was super fun! I’d never done any kind of racing before this year so I’m happy that I survived it. Here’s a video I shot of the day out at coyote point. (my team is the one decked out in crazy floral skinsuits. We won the prize for wearing the “most offensive cycling attire this guy has ever laid eyes on.” woot!)

The most important prize though was the bacon!

I love this image. Apparently this orphan monkey was being bullied at a zoo in China so the zookeepers gave it it’s own guard dog. Now the mean alpha monkeys stay away.

…the baby monkey is also very smart. Each time he smells danger he runs to jump on the dog’s back and holds on tight. The alpha male monkey has been really unhappy since we sent in Sai Hu. He tried to organise several ambushes on the little monkey, but they all failed because of the dog,” said a zoo spokesman.

Pilarcitos Cyclocross 2008 – Race #1 McLaren Park from May Woo on Vimeo.

So this is what I subjected myself to yesterday! dirt riding, hill scrambling, barrier hopping, and log jumping. Yes it looks silly. It was fun! well at least the post riding / scrambling part of the day…the actual racing was painful. ouchies all over.

I bought this necklace on etsy last week and it just came today. I love it! The necklace was designed by n-e-r-v-o-u-s system using a particle system applet they wrote, and then cut out of silicone rubber with a waterjet. The necklace has an imperfect clasp so I got it for $20 instead of $75. There are 3 more left at this price. Here’s more of their jewelry designs.

I would so LOVE to go on a ride w/ these guys!! Check out da bikes! – I love that each of them has a playlist.

(via Josh Spear who apparently gave away a free glow in the dark foldable bike to the person who sent in a link to the blingiest bike on the web. I wish I’d known about this sooner!!! nonetheless you can still see a fab collection of links to blingy bikes on his site.)

You can see what you’d look like too (if you were graduating from high school sometime between 1950 to 2000 on Yearbook Yourself). Sadly, i do not look so good with what I imagine is the female version of the mullet.

The Perseids Meteor Shower, which happens every year, is set to peak tonight (between midnight and dawn). The best way to see the showers is to find someplace dark (away from city lights) and lie on your back with your feet pointing northeast. I did this one year somewhere in Marin and saw lots of shooting stars!

Cookie Monster Searches Deep Within Himself and Asks: Is Me Really Monster?

Me know. Me have problem.

Me love cookies. Me tend to get out of control when me see cookies. Me know it not natural to react so strongly to cookies, but me have weakness….

Me was thinking and me just don’t get it. Why is me a monster? No one else called monster on Sesame Street….

How can they be so callous? Me know there something wrong with me, but who in Sesame Street doesn’t suffer from mental disease or psychological disorder? They don’t call the vampire with math fetish monster, and me pretty sure he undead and drinks blood…

(cookie monster knows how i feel)
