The Cyclist's Christmas Wish List
I'd take the Kona Cinder Cone purely for nostalgia reasons. They are bloody great bikes.

My favourite mobile phone case company Otterbox are now expanding their product line to include chargers and headphones.
I'm pretty much tied to my Apple EarPods (not the wireless ones, they look ridiculous) as they serve my needs. I also have a reliable Anker charger that I use when I'm out and about.
I'm intrigued by the products that Otterbox are now offering but it will take a few good solid reviews to make me part with my cash.
... to be included in a list of such fine and esteemed bloggers.
Many thanks Kurt.
Patrick Rhone imparts some much needed opinions on the argument that paper is broken.
But I’m here to tell you that paper is not broken. I refuse to accept that premise because it can’t be proven. In fact, the opposite is far more likely. I don’t have to back it up, charge it’s battery, change it’s format to be opened by something else once the app maker goes out of business, or let it co-exist on a device with a hundred other things competing for my time and attention. It’s a technology that’s a couple of thousand years old and has worked reliably, virtually unchanged, in that time. It’s better than any digital solution in fundamental ways. Not the least of which is the fact that it has been proven to last for a thousand or more years given the right care.

Another argument against digital devices is the fact that many digital devices like this pride themselves on being thin but then provide inferior ways of organising pages within this thin device. They might offer search facilities which usually takes longer than I can find a page in my own notebooks.
Notebooks on the other hand have depth and visibility. Although closed I can see at a glance all the pages in my notebooks. If marked right I know right away where everything is without even opening it.
I’ve noticed Firefox running really slow on my MBP these days.
Michael Wade reminds us to get it done ... right.
In all of the rush to get it done, meet the deadline, finish it so you can move on to something else, it can be very easy to gloss over getting it done right.

Looking forward to the sequel to Alto's Adventure.
Games on my phone are a rarity but Alto's Adventure are the types of game that make it.
Last night’s episode of #twd was another long drawn out affair. Is this how it is now? Start big, trudge along and then finish big?
I’ll let it slide for this half of the series. I hope it picks up after the holidays when it comes back on.
