As a software developer one of the tools of the trade we need is a revision control system. This system tracks changes to the source code files and other documents related to individual projects that I am working on. Recently I have been using Git to track my projects. Git is an open source project…
My workout beat me up today. I have doubts that I can even remember what I did or what the names of the new exercise is. I was truly whipped by the end of this workout. The warmup was fairly typical for these new routines. I do a 500 meter row, and then practice my…
I had an epiphany…. Or maybe I am just hitting that mid-life crisis, again. It is something that has been building for quite some time, but due to other issues I have not been able to scratch this itch. As I have been working at getting a decent plan together for this years race season,…

Back in January I while getting the Evo ready for another season I finally had to address the front lower lip. It was basically falling off the car because half of the right side mounts had been sheared off from all the past years of hitting hapless cones. A couple of years ago I replace…

This past weekend I race at the first round of the American Autocross series down at Marina airport. Marina is an awesome place to race with its large concrete paddock. The grip is consistent, the weather is predictable for the south bay, windy, sunny and cold for this time of year. AAS courses are always…
