I still think he’s insane

My friend Joe is San Francisco County’s Bike Commuter of the Year. He wrote about it on Google’s blog.

Congrats, Joe!

However, I still think you’re insane due to the following:

I ride 40 miles from San Francisco to Mountain View (and back!) twice a week.

There is a fight this Saturday night at the United Center: Brewster vs. Golota. Supposedly its the first professional fight in Chicago in some long amount of time.

So, I’m sitting around coding and we’re hearing some screaming from out on Michigan Ave. We hear stuff like that all the time being located where we are. Finally, my curiousity got the best of me, so I went to look out the window and see what it was. “Oh, dude, its Don King.” So we went down to what was the official weigh-in for the fight.

Sadly, all I had was the crappy camera in my Hiptop2/Sidekick2.

Also, here’s a meta-photo of Rachelle taking pictures of the event.

That’s her hands and camera on the left. I suggest checking out her much better photos in this post on chicagoist

Geeky Internet Fan-boy moment of the day

Out on Michigan Ave I finally ran into Rachelle of rachelleb.com and chicagoist fame while she was covering an event for chicagoist (and maybe for her own blog as well.) Her camera is what convinced me it was her.

I introduced myself and said what a fan I was. She remembered me from some comments from the two blogs. Hopefully, I didn’t come off as too much of a dork.
