MTB at Huber on the edge of summer.

A while back I wrote an iOS shortcut to log how many 32-ounce Nalgenes I drank throughout the day. I stopped using it after a while because drinking 3-4 Nalgenes per day had become a habit for me but I’ve noticed lately that I’ve fallen off drinking as much water so I’m using it again,…

I have been loving my Fuji XE2s since I bought it off of Amazon a couple of years ago. It takes some of the best photos of any camera I’ve ever owned and is a joy to use in every way (manual dials for ISO, Shutter Speed, aperture. So nice!). Except it doesn’t fit in…

One of my favorite Mac RSS readers ever, has a new version in public beta. I’m currently using Reeder on Mac and iOS but am looking forward to reuniting with this old friend!

Whoa. Mesh. Where have you been all of my life? Picked up a Netgear Orbi bundle the other day on Amazon. All of a sudden all of my Rogue Amoeba Airfoil setup is WAY more stable and predictable. Stoked. Detailed review forthcoming. #wholehouseaudio #firstworldproblems

Ten years ago Kyle built up my Surly LHT and he’s been my go-to guide for all things bikes ever since. New Jersey is so lucky to call this guy our own. Terrific to see him getting some recognition on The Radavist. #surly
