It Has Been Awhile

I’ll admit that I am less than enthused about blogging, at this point. Shouting into the void without even an echo gets old, sometimes. 

I just loaded up an app which should let me post from my iPhone, once again. Maybe the convenience of that will inspire me to blog. 

One big problem, though, is that the reason I had to buy an app to do this is that Google has apparently abandoned development of the Blogger app. Blogger doesn’t work with the latest iOS, so people can’t even read this blog on a mobile device unless they, too, buy a third party app. 

Maybe I’ll migrate to another platform, like Wordpress, if it’s mobile-compatible. 



Here is the “final” (for now) configuration of the Surly 1x1. The tires are 24x4”, mounted on 25mm wide rims. Unfortunately, the fork would not clear the front tire, so I had to reinstall the 100mm spaced Pugsley fork. I really prefer the look of the shorter, curved, legs of the Origin8 fork, but sometimes you just have to go with what works.
