Yesterday' post was an Internet prank called Rickrolling. Basically, you trick the reader into believing that the post is important and then sending them to a copy of Rick Ashley's "Never Give You Up". The song actually hit #1 on the Billboard Charts on March 12, 1988.

Some details on Rickrolling can be found here. And yes it is a real link!

Check out this link!


Enjoy! ;)

What an incredible month for people who bought the MacHeist bundle! The forum pages were exploding about the SpeedDownload V5 upgrade and YazSoft's handling of the situation.

Happily, YazSoft has come to a final resolution on the issue and it is very good. Kudos to MacHeist and YazSoft to fix the situation for the best interests of the customers. However, time is short to take advantage of the upgrade so read below:


• This offer will last a total of 14 days from today (expires March 27, 2008).

• All MacHeist II bundle purchasers interested in Speed Download 5 can get it for free by entering username/email on this webpage. Once your info is validated, you'll receive your personalized Speed Download 5 info via email.

• Those of you who get Speed Download 5 for free will only get one Speed Download 5 license (not two). That free Speed Download 5 license will not qualify for discounted pricing or a free upgrade to Speed Download 6 when it's released.

• All MacHeist II bundle purchasers who've already purchased the Speed Download 5 upgrade for $15 before the start of this 14 day arrangement have 2 options:

you can do nothing and keep the two Speed Download 5 licenses you received as well as get Speed Download 6 for free when it's released
- or -
you can request for a refund from Yazsoft, in which case the 2nd Speed Download 5 license supplied to you will be de-activated and the free upgrade to Speed Download 6 removed

• All MacHeist II bundle purchasers who'd like to purchase the Speed Download 5 upgrade for $15 to show their support (during this 14-day period) will continue to get a 2nd Speed Download 5 license for free. If you choose to do this you'll also get Speed Download 6 for free when it's released.

• All MacHeist II bundle purchasers users that would like to purchase the Speed Download 5 upgrade for $15 to show their support (after this 14-day period) will continue to get a 2nd Speed Download 5 license for free. A free upgrade to Speed Download 6 will not be offered however.

YazSoft also has information at their Web site http://yazsoft.com/content/macheist.html.

There once was a young man who had just left the doctors office after learning he was dying. He was understandably very upset by the news. He decided to find out what alternatives to medicine might be available and the very same day headed to the city's main public library to investigate further. Tucked away back in a dusty corner was an obviously old book on unusual facts. Searching through it, he stumbled across an entry concerning an account of some immortal porpoises living in Central Africa. Deciding on the spot that this was his salvation, he soon was on his way across the ocean to deepest darkest Africa. Hating to fly, he'd booked passage on an outgoing ocean liner. Read More...

Yesterday was a terrible day for cycling in the Bay Area. Two separate accidents on roads that I normally ride remind us how fragile life is.

On a normally safe road, two cyclists were killed and one seriously injured after -- believe it or not -- a sheriff deputy apparently fell asleep at the wheel and ran into them across the road. Both cyclists were professional racers with one having Olympic potential. Also, on Skyline Blvd. at the top of the western hills of Silicon Valley, a car turned right in front of four Webcor riders --- also a racing team --- who were in a paceline. Three were sent to the emergency room with one still in the ICU. These riders were not recreational riders, but very skilled riders.

Cars and bicycles need to share the road safely. Dave Zabriskie, a world-class cyclist and a member of the 2008 Slipstream/Chipotle, has founded an organization Yield to Life to promote a safer environment for cyclists. It is time to get serious about safety for cyclists. Please donate to Yield to Life.
