Garmin WebUpdater For Mac ! ! !

Friday, July 27th, 2007

I figured they’d do it!
After I bought my Garmin StreetPilot c550 I was bummed that I had to seek out a Windoze PC to update it’s firmware.  After the 2nd time I did this they had a WebUpdater and I thought to myself this should be an easy port to Apple’s OS X on the [...]

Great food, weather, and racing in Monterey!

My feet took me here, Britannia Arms Pub!
An order of fish & chips and a few drinks later I was happy man! I followed this with a stroll and awaiting my partner in [...]

Road Trip 2007: Part 2 San Francisco . . .

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

Driving to and kickin’ it in SF!

Yep, just over 8 hours with a top speed of 105 MPH at one point.
For those worry worts out there, all excess speed was done while NO ONE WAS AROUND! I would never endanger the lives of others while traveling. I think.
Once in SF it was late [...]

After some plugin searching and a little php hacking I now have the latest images from my flickr moblog in the sidebar to the right! The number of images may change depending on how I feel it looks.
To get started I found and installed the flickrRSS plugin for Wordpress by Dave Kellam who runs [...]

Road Trip 2007: Part 1 Laughlin . . .

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

Fishing and other nonsense!
After attending Brendan’s 40th birthday party I hit the road to Laughlin, NV to meet up with Mr. Zaich for some Striped Bass fishing on the Colorado River. It was a loooong drive from Pasadena to Laughlin in the dead of night, but I made it in roughly 4 hours and [...]

Did Somebody Say Fixed Gear . . .

Friday, July 13th, 2007

Why yes, yes they did!
I used to ride bikes back in the day, both BMX and road. After some knee problems I decide my new hobby was eating and getting fat. I have un-done most of the additions my last hobby added to me and crushed the particles in my knee jogging. [...]

flickr + iPhone = moblog . . .

Friday, July 13th, 2007

Welcome to my moblog:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/krinkledotnet/
I am going to try and better integrate this so that the latest photo will appear in the side bar with a link to it, but until then keep checking the moblog link under ‘Photos’ in the side bar. It has it’s own RSS feed over at the flickr page [...]

The only all girl Iron Maiden cover band returns!
The last time I saw the Iron Maidens I was impressed enough that I had to see them again! Fortunite enough for me they were played not to far away from my home at McMurphy’s in Old Town Pasadena!

Wanda Ortiz on bass!

More riding!
Seeing as I had so much fun on my first group ride I decided to give it another go, this time it was the Big Bang Ride!  This was put on my some of the Ridazz, but was not an offical Midnight Ridazz ride from what I could tell.

Heading down Santa Monica Blvd.
Everyone met [...]

Auto Racing and Fighting!

Go Dodgers . . .

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

Back at Chavez Ravine!
The twins, Ann and Beth, had an extra ticket to the Dodger game so I tagged along for a nice afternoon slaughter! The Dodgers were up by 8 by the end of the 2nd inning and closed it out by the final score of 9-3.

The view from out nice Lodge seats [...]

To Punish And Enslave . . .

Sunday, July 8th, 2007

That is, of course, if you’re a Decepticon!
If you were a Autobot you surely would not have that written on you’re quarter panel!  So yeah, I went to see the new Transformers Movie and it rocked my socks off!  Yes it’s true I was a huge fan of the Transformers as a kid.  I still [...]
