FGOB: I’m Fat, I’m Slow; the Zwift Fence is a Dumb Idea – With that, Here’s Some Techno
I think the worst part about Zwift is all the complaining. Like all of it. Like every ride for a half a decade. Just shut the fuck up people! The fence is a dumbass idea. The 'flyers' are doing their own thing, have you never been on a group ride in real life? Do all...
FGOB: Cycling Rants!
So, I bought my bike in 2014. That makes this my 6th season on a proper bike. Before that I did have a year on a POS big box MTB doing up to 85 miles. Altogether we're looking at well over 20,000 miles. I'm at the point where I have observed some very specific traffic...
Oak Opening Singletrack on my Topstone (Red Route)
This shit is bananas! Seriously though. When I bought my bike, I got it for gravel - all the roads in my area are hard pack gravel. I just thought a bike better suited for it would be nice. Extra bonus, for veering off the beaten path and discovering. But I had no...
Cruising a Section of the Ohio Towpath Trail (Waterville to Grand Rapids)
This is another one of the reasons I got myself a more capable machine. Yesterday was about exploring the places I didn't know about. This time, it's about relaxing places I knew existed and missed. Back when I started cycling on an old box store MTB, I cruised the...
Exploring SE Michigan on a Gravel Bike
If you want to jump to the end, there'll be deets and video :). Thought up a maybe cool idea. Found my old action cam, my new bike has a mount. Figured I'd record some of the exploring I'm doing. The whole reason I got a more off-road capable bike is - I've done...

A Little Climbing Music
Here's something a little motivating with the right amount of old school. A solid Frankie Bones mix. This ain't necessarily zone out music that I look for with long rides. But it definitely kept me motivated. And at nearly 2 hours, it helped me on that Stage 3 Tour de...
What I’m Riding To: Firestar Soundsystem
I see a lot of folks looking for music to ride to. I think it's weird when people are looking for music where the BPM matches their cadence. I think it's because their listening to the wrong music! Listen, I love me some Suicidal Tendencies, The Cult, Beastie Boys,...
Chewy.com Customer Service
I started using chewy.com a while ago, after one of my cats got put on some expensive, prescription cat food. I noticed that they had it about $5 cheaper than anyone else. I also set up auto ship after a few months, once I figured out how fast my cats ate the food....
Iron Bean Coffee – Make the Switch!
You should read this whole post, it'll be worth it! I used to be an Amazon coffee guy, jumping around to the newest fancy label. Then one day Ankhjii made a chance discovery on Instagram. A coffee company was giving away a mug with a skull on it, we always need that!...
Test
From Instagram by @revvoodoo http://ift.tt/2hgUGVJ
I was gifted a lot of #cycling gear for Christmas... And I'm crazy grateful! But I'm pretty sure my wife takes the cake here with these @fizikofficial #shoes ... I can't wait to get out on the road via Instagram http://ift.tt/2hgUGVJ
GCE Server Optimization – PHP7 and Fast CGI
A while back I had switched from shared hosting over to Google Compute Engine. It has been a great experience and great for learning. Server admin ain't for everyone, I get it. It takes you way outside of your comfort zone. Especially on GCE with no GUI or anything,...
My Google Cloud Pricing
I wrote a post recently about moving my hosting to Google Cloud products. On eof the things that I noticed when folks were checking out the move was that they couldn't figure out what it was going to cost them. I figured I'd try to help out just a little bit and throw...
Jump From Shared Hosting Complete! I’m All Up On the Google Machine!
It's been an interesting couple of months as far as keeping my websites up and running, getting my money's worth, etc. I've had my websites running for a decade now. I started with GoDaddy, which was fine for a shared server and for learning. I don't know anything...
Have You Checked Out ToledoPersonalTraining.com Yet?
I wanted to figure out a way to increase Ankhjii's web presence just a bit. Her main website is great and contains a tonne of useful information, but I thought it might be a bit too much for someone who is just curious about personal training. So I decided to pick up...
