Please disable your janky Firefox extension. It breaks what we work so hard to bring you. For free. Additionally, it kills kittens and gives you warts.

What's your favorite blend or brand of coffee or tea?
Coffee: Blue Bottle. Is there anything else?
For tea, I’m torn between PG Tips, Mighty Leaf Darjeeling, or my local favorite teahouse Samovar.

Audio: If you could sing like anyone, living or dead, who would you choose to sound like? Share a song of theirs.

Jeff Buckley. No contest.

The Aquacam died a horrible salty death this weekend. Ensconced in the back pocket of my jersey, it absorbed a little too much salty moisture over 200 miles even for it to handle. Farewell, you were a great camera.
Dear Google: What is a good water-resistant camera for a sporting fellow?
Google: The Olympus Stylus 725 SW!
DPReview: Not for sale in the US.
Doh.
Edit: Yay! Hopefully ships in time for my birthday…

So Nick and I were talking on IM about Ratatat today:
ydnar: So we’re riding up back from LA, listening to Ratatat
ydnar: and I could have sworn it had lyrics.
ydnar: Tina commented that it didn’t. I swore I’d heard some
ydnar: Guess the song form is trad rock, so I was imagining them.Nick O’Neill: It has some samples in it.
ydnar: Right.
Nick O’Neill: I definitely would expect it to have lyrics as well.
ydnar: So we started making shit up. Not lyrics per se, but stuff like “this song totally has a brit pop vocalist whining about his ex-girlfriend.”
Nick O’Neill: And I’m sure it would be true if either of those guys could sing.

200 miles (sandwiched between 1000 miles of driving). Tired. Happy.
Tina has a longer post recapping the weekend’s events.

In a little over an hour, Tina and I will be heading down to SoCal for the Butterfield Double Century. I’m keeping my fingers crossed the Sixaflu that attacked me earlier this week will have been drubbed out of my system by tomorrow morning. I feel well enough to drive, I hope that upward trend continues. Here’s to vitamin C!
