Jay's new Specialized S-Works Roubaix SL2

Well, I finally wrote the "big check," and bought the bike of my dreams. Yeah, I know this blog site is called underheadphones, and yes, I do like spinning.

But truth be told, I spend MANY more hours on a bike than I do spinning records. And it's my real passion. (Does that suggest I should rename my blog? Hmmm...)

Get out!

If this doesn't make you smile at the end, I don't know what would.

Thanks goodness for indie french films! :-)

Drupal Gardens launches in private Beta

Using Drupal has suddenly become much easier. My company, Acquia, has just released into (private) Beta Drupal Gardens. We've been working on Drupal Gardens for over a year, teaming our expert Drupalers with our crack infrastructure / hosting experts, to provide Drupal 7 as a hosted service. We've included tons of usability improvements, and contributed the vast majority of them back to the open source project.

Drupal Gardens is truly amazing. It'll rock your socks off if you're a Drupaler, and even if you're not, it'll make building extremely powerful websites drop-dead simple.

Watch the screencast below, and come sign up for a Private Beta invitation.

Living outside yourself

Clever, beautiful short.

In the spirit of box animation...

Here's another inspiring video, while I'm noting things like this.

Box animation

Combines several of my favorite things:

  • Music
  • Tech
  • Irreverance
  • Meaningless efforts of youthful creativity

What fun.

VeloNews.com - the descent of a website into uselessness

Four+ years ago, I saw my first copy of VeloNews on the news stand at Belmont Cycleworks. It was full of shiny pictures of the pro peleton, all the high-end bike porn I could consume. I was in love.

I ordered my first subscription to the magazine almost immediately.

Verizon FIOS - Motorola DCT700 ReplayTV

I have no idea whether anybody anywhere needs this blog post. It's obscure.

But Google indexes EVERYTHING. So here you go - hopefully, somewhere needs this.

I just got FIOS (giving up my Comcast in the process). I also own (happily, and sadly) a ReplayTV model 5000. And I needed to get the ReplayTV to work with the FIOS setup.

Migrated to Acquia Hosting. Time to blog again

Well, I've been silent for a while (a) because I'm not a prolific blogger (though I've become a prolific Tweeter @batsonjay ), and (b) because I've been wanting to migrate my site to Acquia Hosting. As Acquia's Founder, I thought I better use our products. Until now, this blog had been hosted at a third-party hosting company.
