Kiteboarding by the numbers

Just finished tallying my numbers for kiteboarding in 2009. 2009 felt like a really bad year for SoCal wind and my numbers show it.

There were a lot of personal and work related changes in 2009 that may have taken their toil on my days kiteboarding, but they do not make up for the massive change from the years before.

Here they are from 2007. 2006 seems to be missing in my notes, I'll have to dig those up.

2006: (missing!)
2007: 105 days kited
2008: 112 days kited
2009: 80 days kited

Let's hope 2010 gets better!!! I'm so much happier and more productive when I get more water time!

(yes, yes, I know these numbers are small for persons who luckily live somewhere windy, but for San Diego they are pretty good!)

Georgia man faces felony charge for airport vandalism

Georgia man faces felony charge for airport vandalism

HA!!! I used to work with this guy at my last company. This doesn't surprise me at all. He's the reason I can't touch hefeweizen beer to this day.

Not sure how a touchscreen LCD costs $15,000 though. That's really expensive.

Johann Hari: Republicans, religion and the triumph of unreason - Johann Hari, Commentators - The Independent

Great article about how the right can make up blatant falsehoods and get away with it. My favorite quote from the article is below:

Johann Hari: Republicans, religion and the triumph of unreason - Johann Hari, Commentators - The Independent: "These increasingly frenzied claims have become so detached from reality that they often seem like black comedy. The right-wing magazine US Investors' Daily claimed that if Stephen Hawking had been British, he would have been allowed to die at birth by its 'socialist' healthcare system. Hawking responded with a polite cough that he is British, and 'I wouldn't be here without the NHS'."
