This year for Valentine's Day I got a "genius" shirt (maybe overstating my case a little bit). Next she surprised me with some sugru (<a href=\"http://sugru.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">sugru.com</a>), the newest hacking miracle substance for which I already have a million ideas on how to use it. Finally I received a bamboo plant which is probably hardy enough to survive my complete lack of a green thumb.")

Finally got a chance to assemble my Chi-qoo Solar Kit from Bootstrap Solar (www.bootstrapsolar.com). I am hoping to use this to keep all of my gadgets charged during my bicycle trip this summer.

I had pretty much convinced myself that we wouldn’t see any of the white stuff this year. Admittedly, it was really just a light dusting, but given this mild winter, it was still nice to get a little bit of appropriate weather.

Had a great evening out for dinner. I even convinced Gwen to try some sushi, but she really, really, really didn’t like it. I still admire her adventuresome spirt.

It’s a sign that I am not riding enough in that I am spending a lot of time and money filling up.
Finally got a chance to get back on the bike for the ride to work. I want to get back to riding at least three days a week. Keeping my fingers crossed.
