Earlier this year I bought a used Bridgestone 600 (1984 or thereabouts) to ease into skinny tire, multi-gear, drop bar cycling; I wanted something to wrench on.

My personality being what it is, I find myself wondering if I should forget authenticity and completely update the bike (700c wheels, new brake system, new drive train, powder coat, etc) or if I should just leave it as is, replacing bits as they break.

(yes, this post was an excuse to post pictures of some old steel)

Marco.org: Kindle 3 first impressions

marco:

I got a Kindle 3 for Instapaper testing. Impressions so far:

It is noticeably smaller and lighter than the Kindle 2, but it’s still the same size class. (The screen’s the same size, and it still has a keyboard, so there’s only so far they can go.) Most people who pick up a naked Kindle 3 for…

College works on the factory model, and is in many ways not suited to training entrepreneurs. You put in a student and out comes a scholar.
