Finally another update- mostly because now I’m grounded and off my bike for a while after taking a nasty fall two days ago during a huge rain storm here in Beijing. I decided that it would be a clever move to practice my skid-stopping in the rain since the roads would be a bit easier [...]

Just writing a quick update to share the misfortune that I’ve been having lately. Somehow my personal belongings have just been breaking. Argh- //Update – June 29 2010: Well it seems like someone else is having the same problem with the MacBook Pro Unibody build quality. I found this ad on eBay as I was [...]

I‘m very fortunate to have fellow biking friends here in Beijing- it sure beats biking around solo! Though, it does make it a bit harder when I’m thinking about weaving in between traffic because I have to think about whether my buddy will be able to make the same route behind me. Sticking to the [...]

It was my birthday yesterday- w00t, the big Twenty Four. I don’t really feel old, and I guess I shouldn’t. Twenty four is still young (at least that’s what I keep telling myself). I was celebrating with a group of friends on the East side of Beijing, and they got me an awesome (much needed) [...]

My friend asked me to put some images together that I’d taken from the past year in Beijing, and after sending them out I decided that I’d throw them up here on my blog too. I don’t know why, but I decided to make edit these as black-and-white images. Without further ado: -Duncan document.getElementById(“post-1011-blankimage”).onload();

I was a bit gung-ho on Monday and decided that I would bike to the US Embassy to pick up my US Visa. It’s about a 15.5km (9.6mi) ride, so it isn’t that much farther than the distance that I biked on Saturday from the Natooke fixed gear shop. But by the time I picked [...]

I made my first ride in Beijing on Saturday May 29th from the Natooke fixed-gear shop in 雍和宫 back home to 五道口, which is about 12km (7.5mi). It’s not going to wow any avid bike riders, but I’ve never biked this distance before. The longest distance I’ve biked is from the South campus of the [...]

Nothing newsworthy, but I thought it was amusing (can I use the word, ‘cute’?) to see the site maintenance image and information that I was given from Grooveshark as I was trying to access their website (for those who don’t know what Grooveshark is, it’s a free “internationally-available online music search engine, music streaming service [...]

I got into work today and was asked by my coworker if I knew that today was 全国哀悼日 (quan2guo2ai1dao4ri4), or China’s national day of mourning for the victims of the Qinghai earthquake. At 10am +8GMT April 21st (today), cars will honk their horns for three minutes, and then all China will have three minutes of [...]
