44, Father's Day and Summer

Wow, what a day. I turned 44, yea! and with 3 kids father day was a blast. It was a beautiful day in Denver for the first day of summer. We went to the pool. I had some good old friends come by, Didier and Elaine, and we just hang out, finished the day with on the terrace with a nice "Fondue Chinoise" and some really good wine. Of course I also did a quick ride on my new birthday present:

It was a pretty good day indeed.

We went to the mall and Noah was fascinated by a DancingHeads booth, which allows to do green screen video recording. So we gave it a spin.

Windows 7

It has been a long time since I used Windows. But couldn't avoid it any longer as I have to debug some JavaScript issues in IE8 so I downloaded the new Windows 7...and that's how I was welcomed:

Thanks to Windows 7 I got a really nice flashback...Thanks, that was funny. I hope they have other improvements.

Google Chrome for OSX.

Several features are unavailable...Well, no Flash out of the box either. So o many website that show videos (news, screencasts, ...) are just not working. And many website I develop that integrate Flex and Javascript won't work either. So I'lll have to wait for the next version, to bad...it's a cool browser.

Which Bike?

This is the time in my life where I will go back to riding a bike. Yea!. Some may call it midlife crisis :-), my wife calls it crazy, I just call it fun. Now I was rinding on a engine with two wheels since I am 14. I had mopeds, two Vespas, a Suzuki GSX 750F, two Ducati's 900, and nothing since 2002 since I got married and moved to the US. One thing in the US you cannot just pass cars in traffic as the police will eagerly arrest you and you cannot race on the Autobahn as I used to when I did trips to Germany to test how fast the bikes can go without breaking any laws. So I need to find something more settled down. I found the following two bikes that caught my eye.

The Triumph Bonneville is a retro styled bike with modern features. They call it Modern Classic. I saw one the other day, looks really good.

Another bike that caught my eye is the Honda Fury. I thought...That's a great bike for my morning commute.

In the end looks it not everything, you gotta try them out. So I'll put my behind on each of these and will decide where to go. But first I need to pass my US driver license as my Swiss one is not recognized here.
