Mastering Data Acquisition with Arduino
May 29, 2012
As part of a larger project, I needed to gather some data remotely. In my case it was accelerometer and frequency data from a reed switch. Either way, I needed a robust way to log data from a variety of sensors onto a memory card of some kind remotely. I decided that the simplest way was probably with Arduino, and quickly hacked together something that worked well enough on a breadboard, then took...
Reflections on Bike Racing: Lessons from the Road
May 18, 2012
Note: This post has been migrated from my old WanderTech blog. The original post contained various photos from bike races that are unfortunately no longer available. So this blog is mostly intended to house my projects and engineering related endeavors, but I wanted to do at least one about bike racing. Racing has taught me a lot of mostly decent things, with a few admitted bad influences. Throug...
Home Again: Rediscovering Georgia's Trails After Racing Adventures
April 25, 2010
Note: This is an old post migrated from a bike racing blog I had for a time, GHBRA, or the Georgia Homeless Bike Racer Association. It was a pretty infromal log of our travel and experiences racing bikes as teenagers. So after 22 days on the road and couches/air mattresses, I have finally come home, and to amazing weather no less. I managed to get back to some singletrack, which was cool: Jack ra...

March 23, 2010
Note: This is an old post migrated from a bike racing blog I had for a time, GHBRA, or the Georgia Homeless Bike Racer Association. It was a pretty infromal log of our travel and experiences racing bikes as teenagers. So after being humbled in spectacular fashion at San Dimas, I found myself with an unexpected day off. Of course I had to go find the top of Glendora Mountain Road, and almost 2 hou...
Cycling Adventure on Glendora Mountain Road
March 17, 2010
Note: This is an old post migrated from a bike racing blog I had for a time, GHBRA, or the Georgia Homeless Bike Racer Association. It was a pretty infromal log of our travel and experiences racing bikes as teenagers. So I got to ride without leg warmers today. In fact, it was in the mid 80s, not a cloud in the sky, and downright pleasant. The ride for the day was to wander up the Glendora mounta...
Cycling Websites and Race Reports: A Journey Through GHBRA
March 10, 2010
Note: This is an old post migrated from a bike racing blog I had for a time, GHBRA, or the Georgia Homeless Bike Racer Association. It was a pretty infromal log of our travel and experiences racing bikes as teenagers. So the team went down to Rouge Roubiax last weekend. It was about as expected, dirt, sketchy, fast, dissapointing. I ended up feeling pretty bad at the start but right as the legs w...
My Body Thermometer is So Confused Right Now
January 31, 2010
Note: This is an old post migrated from a bike racing blog I had for a time, GHBRA, or the Georgia Homeless Bike Racer Association. It was a pretty infromal log of our travel and experiences racing bikes as teenagers. So alot has been going on. Went to tour of the Bahamas, got a tan, beat of former tour de france winner, and pretty much no one else. We ate well, but mostly badly, almost got kille...
Cycling Adventures in Macon, GA: A Weekend Getaway
December 30, 2009
Note: This is an old post migrated from a bike racing blog I had for a time, GHBRA, or the Georgia Homeless Bike Racer Association. It was a pretty infromal log of our travel and experiences racing bikes as teenagers. So, it’s cold in the mountains, so I spent the weekend at my winter home, Christian’s place in the Maconga. Here are some pictures from the weekend in no particular order: Somewhere...

November 28, 2009
Note: This is an old post migrated from a bike racing blog I had for a time, GHBRA, or the Georgia Homeless Bike Racer Association. It was a pretty infromal log of our travel and experiences racing bikes as teenagers. So if there is one general theme to take away from this past week of posts it is: Blairsville Georgia is basically awesome. Since all of the pictures have been wintery and cold, her...
The Superlative Burrito: Navigating Mexican Menus with Ease
November 29, 2009
Note: This is an old post migrated from a bike racing blog I had for a time, GHBRA, or the Georgia Homeless Bike Racer Association. It was a pretty infromal log of our travel and experiences racing bikes as teenagers. Mexican restaurants can be confusing. Garbled pseudo-Spanish describing what is basically the same ingredients combined slightly differently covers bright menus. It seems like every...
