I don't think I've ever annotated a photo to this extent before. Click through to the Flickr page to see the notes.

I'm racing in a sprint triathlon tomorrow in Sacto, getting ready for my main event, and I laid out all my gear to make sure I have everything. Wow. Lots of stuff. I thought it would make an interesting photo with annotations. Not pictured: bike helmet and bike.

On Vox: My Nike Plus Story in Macworld

Routemap

I probably should have pointed this out before, but I've got a story on the Nike Plus sports kit in the June issue of Macworld. It covers a few other topics as well. If you've been using a sports kit for some time, there might not be anything new to you there. But, hopefully, you'll find something useful there.

Fake Steve Makes Mat Cry

Fake Steve T-Shirt
Originally uploaded by honan

My new Fake Steve T-shirt came in the mail yesterday. Apparently, I needed a new t-shirt, so I couldn't be happier. Oh, wait. Yes I could. Do I look sad in this picture to you? Well, that's because I am. The clunky, chunky, pixelated letters in Fake Steve's graphic have made me cry.

Namaste.

• There's not a lot of love in the Haight - Los Angeles Times
  Street kids in the Haight are troubling. You never know what to do, how to feel. Also, I spotted at least one and possibly two factual errors in this story, neither affecting its truthiness.

  Oh, I am a blowhard. To Andre, Omar, and anyone else I may have offended with yesterday's hastily-written, ill-conceived post: I am sorry. I did not mean *you*. Just everyone else. Unless it's someone I know.
