Climbed a 5.9, a 5.9+ and a 5.10a yesterday. Arms hurt.

Finally. At 200 duckets, it ain't cheap--and there's no Mac version--but at least someone realized there's a market for one of these things that doesn't including buying the whole hulking HTPC along with it.

Dear Internet,
I love coming home after a long day at work fixing bugs, fighting fires, having meetings, managing problems and writing about 3 billion emails. I especially love the part where I get to hang out with my dog, kick it on my sofa, listen to some music and open a cold beer. Speaking of music, Idlewild is starting to grow on me. That and Mozilla's brilliant spellchecker built into Midas. The dotted underlines are tired though, we rock that at least. :)
Yours truly,
ydnar
P.S.
Why does my dog whine and growl at me while wagging her tail.

Today's shopping theme: Gear, specifically safety equipment.
Per advice from a number of people smarter than I, riding a motorcycle with someone else's helmet is probably less than wise. So I ponied up the duckets for a shiny matte new Shoei TZ-R helmet in the One True Color. Like the shoes acquired earlier, I was told there was a "break in period" and a "snug fit" was desirable. I'll defer to the experts.
Earlier today, we went by Sports Basement and snagged carabiners, belay devices and climbing shoes. The shoes are like ballet slippers except covered in sticky rubber instead of pink satin. They are equally as painful [1]. I recall being upsold on a chalk bag too, so to not have to bear the shame of renting.
I need another gear-intensive sport like I need a hole in the head, but mountain climbing piques my interest in a way that trepanning never did.
[1] This is a 5-beer story.
