Tried out the eReader app for the iPhone yesterday. It's pretty sweet. Even created an PDB version of some of the eBooks I have on my Sony Reader, and works like a charm when served up from my personal website. Pretty much means I can never be without something to read, even if the battery runs out on my reader, like last week, because I'll always have my iPhone on me and charged. Just need to go about converting my existing collection to that format. The bike grinding issue? Possibly related to the back wheel being a little loose. Any finagling doesn't seem to help, so I'll have to take the drive train apart this weekend to see what's up. Also redo my handlebar tape since that's unraveling. And maybe redo the brake cables too? And a good cleaning. I did pick up a stabilizer (kickstand) on the way home last night. Put it on this morning. Comes in handy since we don't have a bike rack at home. Put up the circuit candle holder in the study. Also got the Drobo yesterday. No disks for it yet though. But very slick unboxing. Reminded me of Apple, which is good. Can't wait to actually start using it. It's so much smaller, and hopefully much much quieter than the firewire enclosure. Disks should show up today. Neighbors were nice enough to sign for my package yesterday, and to usually let the UPS man in to leave packages in the front hallway. Watched some Olympics. Tracy whipped up some lime chicken and rice and salsa for dinner, using whatever was left in the fridge.
