First Bicycle Commute

Today marks the first time that I biked to work. It is also the first time that I used public transit for commuting

I planned on parking at the Cumberland Transfer Center at the Cumberland Mall and taking the #50 CCT bus to Powers Ferry Road. I would transfer to the #148 Marta bus which has a stop right by my office. I brought my bike because the two lines don't connect and I have to pedal from Powers Ferry to New Northside Drive which is about 1.1 miles.

I pedaled over to the bus stop at Powers Ferry and New Northside Dr and arrived at about 8:25. I waited until 9:08 and couldn't wait for the bus any longer so I decided to bike the rest of the way to work. It was a little over 5 miles. I think that I could get used to biking to work. I am so alert and full of energy.

Today was a beautiful day and I enjoyed the ride. I dropped my car at the Cumberland Mall, but I may ride from our apartment to the mall in the future. I just wanted to get everything figured out first.

End Spam from Website Registrations

I found an awesome website that will give you a disposable, temporary email account that you can then give to websites when you register. You can go and click the validation link in messages for up to one day. Try it out.

Step 1
Instead of giving your real email address to every website on Earth, just make up an imaginary name for @pookmail.com. Example: dontbotherme@pookmail.com
Step 2
Wait for your email to arrive.
Step 3
Login to PookMail.com by typing your imaginary email name (dontbotherme) into the login form, and click GO
Step 4
After 24 hours, the email associated with your login name will be cleaned from the system.

Send your neigbor a grievance

A while back I found this website where you can fill in the blanks of these forms for various letters. It's hilarious. Each form is designed like official government forms from the 40's. You can send your significant other a declaration of romantic intent or you can send a friend an acknowledgment of an occasion.

Perhaps my favorite one is the Airing of Grievance form. I would send this to our neighbors who let their dog pee on our porch every day if I only knew their email.

Our first family property on the web

While Rochelle and I have had our own presence the internet for some time, this blog represents the first cyber real estate we occupy as a family. We hope to keep this site updated with pictures and more.
