Took my Razor scooter for a spin today, rode to work on it 
. Used the sidewalk on the way up Fifth av. It was kinda crowded, so had to be careful. Was able to use the road on the way back, the bicycle lane. Quite fast, and very fun. All kids that saw me were very envious, could not believe my speed and coolness
The Jamaican Usain Bolt broke the 100 meter world record today in Berlin, running in an amazingly fast 9:58. It was the fastest race in history.
From the NY Times:
"All those curious to know just how fast Usain Bolt might have gone if he had not stopped sprinting near the end of his world-record run at the Olympics last year now have a clearer answer.
Jamaica's Usain Bolt won the men's 100m at IAAF Athletics World Championships, flanked by Tyson Gay, who came in second, left, and Daniel Bailey, right, on Sunday in Berlin.
Bolt pushed himself from start to finish Sunday night, and the result was a stunning time of 9.58 seconds in the men’s 100-meter final at the world track and field championships: eleven-hundredths of a second better than his game-changing mark of 9.69 in Beijing.
Tyson Gay, the understated American who was considered Bolt’s biggest threat here, ran the race of his life, setting a national record of 9.71. But Gay was beaten convincingly in the Olympic Stadium as Bolt took the biggest bite out of the men’s 100 record since electronic timing became mandatory for record ratification in 1977."
OK, installed Kaspersky anti-virus on my network this morning, can never be too cautious, there is so much malware, spyware and adware anymore. It found nothing on my desktop, of course, but it did find a bunch of stuff on Nicole's laptop, which I figure it would.
Went out to dinner with Hans and Jodi at Dell'anima again last night, very nice, good times.
Reading the paper now, getting ready to run a few errands. Nicole is out at her wedding shower today, at Ingrid's.
It's my brothers bday in a few minutes, Aug 14! Felicitats Bernat, o Avinat hauria de set, deus anar amb una garrota ja, obviamente
It's also Oersted's bday, same day, the father of Electromagnetism. Pretty important dude for EE majors like myself. He was first to discover the relationships between electrical currents and magnetic fields, a major step towards unified energy.
Interesting about Facebook Lite, totally going after Twitter after the FriedFeed acquisition ($50M) and after releasing this. Twitter better be careful...
