Found FUN

This time it has nothing to do with cyclists hitting pedestrians. Instead, this time the cyclists is beating on a motorist in Oregon.

Headline:
Drunk Portland cyclist used bike to club motorist, police say
Police say a mob formed as the rider and driver faced off

Interesting read. The cyclist is going to face some repercussion as a city employee, and what was the motorist thinking? He had his family in the car. Idiots all around.

Thanks again to Bill for the news of the weird link.

This post has nothing to do with Chicago baseball.

It was great to sweep the Cubs, but I’m a little over it now that the SOX appear to be on a decent winning clip (at home).

OK, so the post has a little to do with baseball.

First, if you’re in Austin, consider donating blood through the Tweetup Blood Drive. I’ll be there at 10:15am. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate your Independence than by helping others with vital materials for life. I don’t donate enough.

OK, maybe if they lit off fireworks while your arm was being tapped – that would be a better way.

If you’re unfamiliar with a Tweetup, it’s an event started by someone on Twitter, but open to all. I’m @joeyTWOwheels, if you dare join the microblogging world (Stalelife is on there, too: @Stalelife).

There’s no cost, and Twitter is a great way to keep up with friends, news and companies – some people use it for polls, to find work and/or hired help. All the uses are still being created every day, by people who use it.

Second, for you Austinites, if you watch videos online, consider filling out this survey for KLRU, the local PBS station. It will help them greatly. Psssst - you could also win two tickets to a live taping of Austin City Limits.

Pre-Independence Day Goods:

The carwash is very cool, but I didn’t always think that. As a kid I imagined the carwash eating the car. Scary. As seen through my moonroof. ^
