My Latest Project and Today’s Transport

My brother-in-law, J, gave me this Yokota Enterprise road bike from 80s or 90s … he was going throw it out. I stripped it down, de-badged it, de-greased it, replaced tubes, tires, brake cables & pads, handle-bar tape, seat and so on … pretty much rebuilt the bike. It’s awesome and rides like a dream!

It’s about 100-degrees here in DFW today and that’s okay … right now I’ve biked about 1/2 across Grapevine running errands on the bicycle and am having an iced-coffee and checking in on work via Starbuck’s free wi-fi. I wish I could work like this every day!

There are instances on most web pages where it is desirable to apply a font-face other than the standard “web safe” default set to type on a page. Headlines, call-outs, titles … the list is extensive. Occasionally, you might even want to use a non-standard font for the text in the body of a web page, though it’s advisable to use your best judgment for body text because the wrong sort of font-face here could make the page very difficult to read.

But how can this be done?

North Texas got 12 inches of snow Feb 11, 2010. The news said this is a new record – the most snow recorded in this area since 1964! Here’s how it looked around my neighborhood.

So, this is OmmWriter by Herraiz Soto & Co. It has subtle interface controls, subtle background images, background music and ambient sounds.

Each time I press a key, it makes a small sound. Like a dropped pebble or click … or tone.
