As a few of you know I work for MS so my opinion is neither without bias or exactly framed within the context of a how a "normal" user uses the computer.

I am confused - where is Senor Mango and Senor Swandive?

Splatness - you talking to Terri (Dr. Jones) about Burning Man at all?

First, good luck with your interview. Best trick I have ever learned is when they give you a scenario question and ask what is broken or how to troubleshoot the first question(s) to ask are "Has it...

Going to run down this weekend to the Mt. Hood area for some snow with a buddy. One day will be Timberline I am sure however it would be nice to get some skinning in somewhere. Last time I was at...

Mmmmhmmmm - May be time for a quick rally down. You around on the 26th? Timmay?

Portal 2 is a great game, after Portal and Portal: Staying Alive I did not expect them to follow up as well. No matter, the cake is a lie :)

To remove tiles, push and hold on the tile for a few seconds. It "raises" and there is an icon attached that looks like a garbage can or something (I cannot remember exactly) - select that icon and...

South: Ushuaia, Argentina or South Island Nz - not sure which is further south.

North: Middle of nowhere in Siberia, near the border of Mongolia.

Nicem blast from the past, eh? As splat just asked - where are you these days? You need to get back down this way regardless...

CF kicks ass. I am currently reeling from a heavy backsquat/push press session followed by double-under/push up countdown (50/40/30/..)

It never hurts any less :)

Later is better for me in general but I am game for tonight.

When I die I want to come back as a Klar.

Superb work.

Well played. Beautiful shots.

Not a bad lineup this year at all, especially for being so close.

I am actually pretty stoked for the Rothbury Festival later in the summer.

Yes, I go to a local Crossfit affiliate 3-4 times a week.

Strength wise there is no doubt that I have seen huge improvements. What suprised me was how it helped with my cardio and intensity....

GI Joe on the big screen tonight... oh yeah!

Hmm.. debating a run down this weekend. Tappah/Bdog you around Saturday? Maybe a little tour and rally for drinkage?

Me + 7 - staying at the Wynn somehow. Drunken debauchery, violated pastries, music, and poker in pipeline.

Pm for digits.

Really impressive, congrats on making both up and down!

London to Mongolia (the LOOOONG way). Twenty something days...

Edit to add- Congrats on what looks to be successful road trip with good peeps and snow.

Good stuff Tap! Keep'em coming.

Oh snow, thanks for the info. Measuring slope angle was covered rather briefly in class and used a clinometer on a ski pole for measurement. I have found this rather impractical in real life and was...

APD - Great info, thanks for the reply. Jong question, what does the term "alpha angle" refer to?

I am extremely proud (and more than a bit surprised) to announce that on July 23rd, at 10:30pm local time Team Roshambo became the first American team to complete the Mongol Rally.

Before rattling...

Quick update from the road.

The team has made it to the Samarqand, Uzbekistan checkpoint after a solid 4 days/nights of driving (from Sochi, Russia). "Roads" are miserable, as Rob said early on a...

Quick check-in from Prague. We arrived yesterday around 3pm local time (looking like 3rd/4th thus far). Found the pubs and plan on doing the same tonight.

Good to meet some mag's in London - pics...

Sounds like a plan. See you kooks there.

Howl' at the Moon sounds like a winner to me. Have to hit Jillians at 8pm to gather peeps then rally over around 10ish?

Rally Thread

Rob got in yesterday and plans are actually starting to come together. We may ditch the second car and pile into 1 to make the driving easier. Maggot feedback welcome over drinks :)

Where is the maggot cam these days? Thinking with all of the crews that are going to be bouncing in and out of SA this year it may not be a bad idea for someone to drag it down?

Yep, Jillians was suggested by one of our larger donor's and I couldn't think of a legitimate reason to say no :confused:

I am hoping the normal 23 year old yuppie crowd will be minimal with...
