Ghost is a Go!

in , ,

Today mark's the public release of Ghost: Just a Blogging Platform. After months of hard work, you can sign up and try it out for yourself. I'm excited to migrate and go full-time for this website.

Ghost 0.3 comes with the full, gorgeous Markdown editor which so many of you have been excited about using. It has a stunning post management interface, it has a simple set of settings which allow you to configure your blog, and it comes with a clean and simple personal blogging theme called Casper.

and from their Kickstarter:

Ghost is a platform dedicated to one thing: Publishing. It's beautifully designed, completely customizable and completely Open Source. Ghost allows you to write and publish your own blog, giving you the tools to make it easy and even (gasp) fun to do. It's simple, elegant, and designed so that you can spend less time messing with making your blog work - and more time blogging.

Afraid of Riding in the Rain?

in ,

Some of you may have heard about the time trials at the Isle of Man, but I was first introduced to it this morning. TT actually stands for Tourist Trophy and the race on the island has actually been taking pace since 1907. These racers are insane, riding Hayabusa motorcycles at speeds of up to 330 km/h (205mph)! Check out this amazing video! http://youtu.be/LU-ynRoqDEs

And there's also this summary of the 2013 time trials here.

And more amazingly, here's Guy Martin outrunning a helicopter!

San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge

in ,

If you live in the San Francisco-Oakland area, the news isn't without daily coverage of the Bay Bridge!  Of course that's before this morning's Apple iPhone 5S/C event so stay tuned here for the final post event update.  But I digress.  I have yet to see the new Bay Bridge or drive through it but if you want to check out the amazing feat, watch the beautiful time-lapse below compressing 42,000 hours into just 4 minutes! http://youtu.be/GDUIYZKlknk

Of course the biggest news is the fact that for the first time in history, pedestrians and cyclists will have access to the SFO-OAK Bay Bridge's new East Span.  Once the entire bridge is completed, it will provide a 2.2 mile stretch between Oakland and Yerba Buena Island.  For safety sake, all you cycling speed demons will be limited to 15 mph and will be heavily patrolled by the police.

An Awesome Belt by Gustin

classic beltI remember Gustin from their Kickstarter days and boy have they taken off! Who would have thought crowd-sourced / funded clothing would be this awesome?!

Not Enough Freedom in Your Thrust

in ,

It's Monday and it's Labor Day so I decided to celebrate the Monday's with a random video.  My good friend Jeremiah shared this with me a week back and it's been entertaining!  It's actually a great YouTube series.  I found it outrageous and over the top, but if laughs is what you need, especially if you're working on this Labor Day, I'm sure that this will do it!  What are your thoughts?
