Hi Todd! I think I only have around 250 miles on the new carbon bike (I’ve only had it 4 months, and I don’t ride much in the winter, mostly because I’m a wuss).

But I’ve been very happy with it. It really is more enjoyable to ride, and I do find myself looking forward to a weekend ride more than I used to. It feels so much smoother–I assume mostly because it’s carbon rather than aluminum. I think my longest ride on it was 58 miles and I had no problems. Because of the more aggressive position (but still not uncomfortable), I think my back will feel a little more fatigued by the end of the first few long rides each year. But it hasn’t been bad so far, and I’m definitely happier with drop handlebars.

I read your post w/ interest, thanks for sharing. I also have a Fuji Silhouette that I’ve been riding for everything since 2005 – commuting, road rides, touring. Prolly has about 12K miles on it by now. Like you, every spring I think about jumping to a road bike for everything but the commuting, largely for drops (to escape headwinds) and something lighter. Now that you’ve had a carbon frame for a while, how has it held up, esp for long multi-hundred mile credit-card touring rides? For $2.5k I could get a sweet carbon rig like you did, or a semi-custom fit steel/Ti buildup … touch choice. Carbon = couple pounds lighter, but something about the unbreakable nature of Ti/Steel is appealing. Last year on Ragbrai a guy on my team cracked his carbon frame near the dropouts on the rear triangle, kinda worrisome.

Maybe you could work on getting the VV working on Windows systems? I’ve read it’s related to some libraries unrelated to prpl.. so I guess it won’t be done by prpl devs?

Comment on Checklist for Keeping User’s Passwords Safe by Mark Doliner

Mary: I don’t know whether Pearson/PowerSchool initiates any of these conventions. I suggest asking them–at least then they’ll know that their users care about security.

Thank you. I found this site when looking for a safe password checklist. How thoughtful and concise. Do you know if Pearson/PowerSchool initiates any of these conventions?

The Butterfly Effect was good, but I couldn’t stand to watch it again. ‘Dark’ is an understatement (especially if you’re watching the DVD release, which has the most depressing ending)!

Apart from that caveat, I second your lists.

I might be wrong, but I’m sensing this entry might be SLIGHTLY biased toward Florence over Rome.
