Making the Most out of Google Preferred Sites

Google is in the process of rolling out a new feature called “Preferred Sites” that lets web users customize their search results by proactively telling Google that they consider certain websites valuable.

David Schueller doesn’t let below zero temps ruin his fun. In fact, he’s been biking on Lake Minnetonka in this weather. How does he dress for it? Layers: David’s spin: Two days at 20 below And what do I wear on my feet? In order: neoprene socks, mountain bike shoes with Time cleats, time trial [...]

Cold Weather = Squeaky Clutch

I twittered this the other day: Then Katie twittered this: So, what does it sound like? Turn up your speakers for a sample from West River Rd at -17F degrees: Let it be noted that I did stop at the stop sign while switching hands with my camera so I could change gears. And I [...]
