February 2012 | of trees, birds and other things

http://otbot.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Of trees, birds and other things. This is not peer-review. Saturday, February 4, 2012. Whoa, they are coming thick and fast this week. A screen shot from the film Super. Of God touching Frank's brain. This is inspired by my previous post that talked a little about peer-review. Actually it is the other way around. I got side tracked before I got started but was reminded about my initial idea after seeing this post over at Pharyngula. I googled BIO-complexity and guess what? Shows that there can be flaws i...

Auckland Sketchbook: Don't miss the Paraparaumu pit stop

http://www.aucklandsketchbook.com/2015/05/dont-miss-paraparaumu-pit-stop.html

Don't miss the Paraparaumu pit stop. Driving into (or out of) Wellington and getting tired of playing eye spy. With a car load of bored children? Or are you just a car nut who likes nothing more than drooling over some of the worlds rarest cars? Well next time you're driving along the Kapiti coast don't just grit your teeth and drive on in determination – do yourself a favour and take a pit stop at the Southward Museum!

November 2012 | of trees, birds and other things

http://otbot.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html

Of trees, birds and other things. The science (and scandal) of doping in cycling. Thursday, November 29, 2012. I began commuting by bicycle about two years ago and I am now hooked on cycling. For about 18 months I rode around on my hip(ster) single-speed, Charge Plug. Mine is dark blue). But, I began to steadily increase the distances I was riding on weekends and having one gear became limiting, particularly for going up hills. So after my mate Paul. And of course the latest Lance Pharmstrong. I mentione...

August 2012 | of trees, birds and other things

http://otbot.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html

Of trees, birds and other things. Times are a changing: about time. Thursday, August 30, 2012. Sadly there are a minority who think that their outdated and bigoted views should determine the rights of other humans. This minority typically consists of religious conservatives (are you surprised? The prominent organised groups that I have encountered are The Conservative Party of New Zealand. And Protect Marriage NZ. Legalising incest and bestiality? Recently, Colin Craig. Leader of The Conservative Party o...

January 2011 | of trees, birds and other things

http://otbot.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Of trees, birds and other things. Monday, January 31, 2011. As if anti-evolution pseudo-science isn't a big enough problem, teachers in the US are reluctant to teach the real science. An article published on the Science Daily website. Discusses the results of a recent study entitled 'Defeating creationism in the courtroom, but not the classroom'. The title says it all. Despite the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. I mentioned in a previous post. The authors of the paper suggest that the ...

Big Dummy Daddy: Wherein I venture into the world of big wheels

http://bigdummydaddy.blogspot.com/2013/11/wherein-i-venture-into-world-of-big.html

Living life with a big green cargo bike. Tuesday, November 19, 2013. Wherein I venture into the world of big wheels. Black and yellow 2008 Redline Monocog 29er. For more than a year I've conceptually evaluated the idea of myself on 29-inch wheels. I've had intermittent rides on several big-wheeled. New-to-me 2008 Redline Monocog 29er, size XL (21"). As long as it has wheels and she gets to run along with it, Scout approves. I really like the Monocog's Atari-esque '80s style graphics. VP Components VP-001...

The Handlebar Chronicles: Crashed: Nitto vs. Surly

http://handlebarchronicles.blogspot.com/2015/02/crashed-nitto-vs-surly.html

Friday, February 13, 2015. Crashed: Nitto vs. Surly. Round One: Bars vs. Top Tube. They really are without equal in their ability to hold up to the demands of enthusiastic riding (which, occasionally, includes crashing). Many lesser swept-back bars intended for "casual" or "city riding," made from plain aluminum, would not have fared as well and would probably need replacing after such an incident. Round Two: Rack vs. Down Tube. March 9, 2015 at 11:49 PM. Watch the body-language of a motocross rider as t...
