That’s basically a Volvo in a U-Haul.

Inventing is overrated.

Shower chess has already been invented… more than three times:

1. 2002, Half Bakery

2. 2007, Chess.com forums

3. 2008, My bathroom

First person to play a complete game of shower chess with their room/apartment-mate (one turn per shower) is the true winner.

I’m such a human

Skateboarding — almost hit by car

brian — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 03:49:55 +0000

When I moved in to my apartment for the year, the previous residents left a lot of trash. Included in the trash, was a perfectly functioning skateboard!

The first few nights in my apartment, I spent an hour or so skateboarding around this new place, getting to know my surrounding area. The third night, I took my audio recording setup on a ride, and accidentally ended up recording a car running a stop sign — almost running me over. You can hear the car turn on at 3s, running a stop sign (almost me?) at 20s.

I snore.

A couple of weeks ago, I went camping with some friends (sup dsd?). They said I was snoring!

Me, snoring… inconceivable! Who can trust such accounts of one’s own snoring… they were half-awake, delirious!

Today, I was going through some of my old audio recordings. One of them was 20 minutes long… I fell asleep during the recording!

I snore.

Stage 1 of sleep, ~16 breaths per minute (3m in):
Stage 2 of sleep, ~15 breaths per minute (13m in):

It sounds as if I left the window open sleeping through a cop car siren, an argument, and some cars blasting fat beats.

My recording device ran out of battery before stages 3, 4, and REM sleep. Unfortunate…
