Comment on Shimoda Izu Birthday Trip 2008 with Aya by Jason Collin

I’m trying to use all royalty-free music in my videos (except when captured naturally as in driving in the car), so don’t want to just drop in some top-40 hit for the intro, but yeah, some are better than others. Running out of new ones, so may have to repeat intro music.

Gas? Hmmm, there are always easter eggs in my videos usually.

Yeah, hopefully like Japanese, all others immediately stop going to the beach after August 31st too.

Sad that it was ‘discovered’ by a disrespectful crowd like that. Hopefully our upcoming weekend will be much quieter.

Was that gas in the car?

Nice little video, but not sure how I feel about that opening music. When the Pixies took over I was relieved.

I think I will start moving away from IE. Never used Firefox but heard it’s good.

Well, in the sandbox area you could do that raking of the sand that some Japanese gardens have??

(about the spellchecking, both Safari and Firefox have had that for a long time, I can’t believe you use IE!)

I am very lucky to have a small backyard with my condo about 15 x 15 feet. However, it is full of toys and sandbox and a grassy area for my boys and dog. So I wouldn’t be able to have much of a garden. But someday I would.

Even if you only have a small yard or patio, you can definitely make a nice little Japanese garden.

(Unrelated note - I am using the new Google Chrome browser and I am liking it more and more. One cool feature is it has a spell check feature similar to Word. When I misspell a word in a comment box like this, it puts a red line under the word. Right click and it gives the correct spelling.)

Do you have a backyard at your home in L.A.? Any Japanese style landscaping in it if you do? When I move back to the U.S. next year it would be great to carve out a little bit of yard (if not more) to look like one of these Japanese gardens.

Japanese parks and gardens are my favorite. I love the landscaping and ponds.

Comment on Back to cycling the Palace, slowly by Jason Collin

As I mentioned in Skype, our last ride was nearly 2 minutes faster than this, which really doesn’t seem possible. Last time’s stats were semi-unofficial as I didn’t write them down but instead only committed them to memory. Hard to imagine the pace I rode at last night being 2 minutes slower than before.

Full previous stats here:
