Some changes are going to make it easier for me to move all my postings from this point over to danielo.posterous.com. Please bookmark accordingly.
danielo & sagan haul a bike up the hill
Here's how Sagan and I got Steph's bike up to her at work on Sunday. Our longest train yet is me, Sagan on a tag-a-long, a kid-trailer attached to that, and Steph's bike with front wheel locked into the trailer, with rear tire trailing. Worked like a charm.

danielo is also posting at posterous
I started mirror posting over at Posterous, in order to test out the service. It's a new blogging platform with an ultra-clean simple setup. All posting is done via email or SMS. In addition to the clean look, I like how they handle multiple pictures (as in this post). Check it out, let me know if you like it more or less.

danielo & sagan hit the races
Sunday, July 20, 2008On Saturday, Sagan and I went downtown for the Boise Twilight Criterium, which he and I can report was AWESOME. He rode in the kid's ride with Kristan Armstrong, then we went back downtown for the women's and men's rides. Some pics:

danielo suddenly realizes the problem
Friday, July 18, 2008Perhaps you're not listening closely.
When I say "Maybe you don't need an automobile," and you hear, "Maybe you can live your present selfish and unplanned lifestyle without the crutch it's built around," -- that's evidence that you must have axle grease in your ears.
I am fairly certain that you can't, actually, continue to live your car-addicted lifestyle and give up your automobile addiction. You also can't give up snorting cocaine and still snort cocaine -- that doesn't make sense. But I am also certain that you might very well not need that automobile. Maybe you just need to embrace the fact that a better life, free of automobile addiction, is not only feasible, but also rewarding, and perhaps even exemplary.
And before you start your whining about how hard it would be, I refer you to my previous post, and to the summary of it:
YOU'RE NOT A BABY, QUIT YOUR WHINING AND BUCK UP.
Walk. Ride a bike. Take the bus. Carpool. Vanpool. Just leave the goddamn car at home!

danielo suggests a new campaign message
Thursday, July 17, 2008I think I'm just tired of it all. I'm tired of "oh gosh, the gas prices are so horrible," and I'm tired of "these days I hate driving." Here's what I think: I think that every single American adult with an IQ of at least 60 knows that personal automobiles are selfish, excessive, and harmful to the environment. I think those same people know there are numerous options available to them besides single-occupancy vehicles. And I think it's time we stopped letting people act like helpful infants, and instead insist they start acting like responsible adults.
LEAVE YOUR GODDAMN CAR AT HOME. And before you whining automobile addicts start your typical avoid-the-topic blather ("but I don't know how to get to work, I don't know the bus routes, it's too far to ride a bike... blah blah blah"), here's a news flash: YOU'RE NOT A BABY ANYMORE, and it's not the world's job to change your diaper. Buck up and FIGURE IT OUT.

danielo wants to clear up something about Cynicism
Wednesday, July 16, 2008I'm a Cynic. That's Cynic, not "cynic." A Cynic is not (necessarily) bitter, jaded, pessimistic, or negative. A Cynic believes that life should be lived with virtue by being in balance with nature and avoiding the trappings of wealth, power, fame, and material possessions. Cynicism is, in my estimation, similar to Buddhism for its admonition to avoid material possession and the ethical trappings of civilization.
Read up a bit more on Cynicism. This article, in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy, is an excellent overview.

Survival Preparedness (Boise, Nampa, Caldwell)
Reply to: see below
Date: 2008-07-15, 10:46PM MDT
I am getting myself prepared for what looks to be a rough go of it. All signs are pointing to a total collapse of our economy as we know it. I truley hope this is not the case. But I would much rather I had some sort of a plan and be prepared then find out it is to late.
I am not in anyway advocating any type of vilionce. I am not a bible thumper although I do believe there is a higher power.I am not a racist, nor will I affiliate with anyone that is.
I am looking to find men, women, and couples of like mind. To start off I would like to keep it limited in the size of the group. Looking for people between 40 to 60 years young. Also would hope to find people with all types of trades background.ie.metalworking,electrical,computer,medical,milatary,survival training ect.
I would like to keep this a local project for now. If you live in the Treasure Valley area and think you might be interested give me a call. 989-XXXX.
Please no "Rambos" .
I'm guessing "English Teacher" might not be the demographic this person is seeking...
