Craptastic

The handlebar mount for my gps arrived this morning ... and it turns out I should have heeded the "supports handlebars up to one inch in diameter" description. Craptastic. I'll have to find a way to zip tie it or something.

Here's my bike. I think it weighs less than my C++ book.

Yeah, so, after getting home late last night (~1:30am-ish), I went for a ride around my neighborhood and decided to venture across Highway 9 to the big golf-course community. It's really big. I made lots of random turns until I was completely lost. Eventually I ran across a full roll of toilet paper in the middle of the road, promptly followed by a group of high school juniors who were, with a moderate level of success, applying the toilet paper to the houses of the seniors. Or rather, to the trees in front of their houses.

This group of high school miscreants sported far too many followers and far too few leaders. If I hadn't been on the phone, I would have considered bringing some order and system to the chaos of their operation. And they're probably happy I didn't.

Thanks to a big trade show in Las Vegas, my hard work during the past couple of months finally had its coming out party. There's even a video on YouTube that kind of demonstrates its use. I think they should have done more (in the video) to show it's Final Cut Pro integration (considering how much work that took). But, whatever. Watch it for yourself here.

I'm not sure what I think about the product name, "Get". For one, trying to find it via Google without more details (like, "phonetic") is nearly impossible. At last check, it has to vie with 2.3 billion other web pages that make use of that same verb-turned-noun. On the other hand, it's easy to remember.
