For anyone that’s a Star Trek fan (or really anyone that has seen Star Trek IV) will understand the topic to this post. If you don’t get it, go see Star Trek IV, if you only ever see one Star Trek episode or movie, it should be the fourth movie. trekkie or non-trekkie you’ll enjoy it.
Anyways, to the meat of the post. Today I was browsing around and came across something awesome. That’s right transparent aluminum. Yet another example of Star Trek technology becoming a reality.

Much like the last similarly named post this one has to do with my bike, but not really.
Last night I was riding my bike home through Fredriksen Court on my way home. It was dark and cool, and overall a nice evening. I’m looking around as I ride and I notice a window with the shades pulled so you can see in to the people inside.
Then I realized something….
I do a double take…
There is exactly 2 people behind that window…
The two people are up against a wall….
Very naked…
Just a little public service announcement, if you’re going to have sex against a wall, close the shades. As I learned yesterday, even on the 2nd or 3rd floor, if you’re against the wall and the shades are up, everyone can see in.

I just want to say that I had a great birthday. I got a magnificent cake from my roommate Peter (German Chocolate, and he hates coconut). I also was joined by a number of friends in eating it, it was a good day.

Kids these days, think that they can rule the world. I scoff at their arrogance, perhaps if they have been around for a decade or two like myself they might be able to truly understand the word. But they haven’t! Their loss!

Last week was really not my week for biking, I had another incident. Friday I’m riding home from work :/ (work + bike seems to equal problems) speeding down the road when all of the sudden something goes wrong. I hear this terrible tearing sound and I can’t peddle anymore. I look down, and to my horror the right leg of my favorite pair of pants has been mostly gobbled by the gears of my bike.
I get home, a little upset, and decide that I’m going to go online and find a new pair just like the ones that were destroyed. They’re Levi’s 569 “Graphite” Corduroys so I figure it should be relatively easy to find, Levi’s is a big brand. Well I was fooled. I searched high and low for about 30 min without finding any 569 Corduroys, let alone the grey ones I wanted. I kept finding the jeans of the same style but not the corduroys and I was beginning to be a little frustrated. The all of the sudden…
VICTORY!!! Not only do I find the pants I want they are only $15. So what do I do? I order a pair, then I order another, and another. Actually, I just ordered 3 at once but the result is the same. I’m a little afraid I’m going to become one of those people that wears the same outfit all the time, but I love these pants so I don’t care.

UPDATE: Several people (who amazingly I don’t know) have asked where I got my corduroys. I found them on JCPenny.com if you do a search on their website it’ll go strait to them.

As promised this is the first of five posts this evening. I’ve been really bad about consistently putting things up so I’m catching up for lost time. This one looses some of it’s relevance because it happened a while ago and is pretty brief but what the hell.

Last Tuesday I was riding my bike to work at about 7:50 as I do every morning. I parked my bike outside the back of the Durham building (where I work) and descended into the basement. At 10 I head back up to head to Russian and I find my bike has picked up some visitors, bees. Now for some people a couple bees is no problem just shoo them away, unlock the bike and be on your way. Not so simple for me:
a. I’m allergic b. There was at least 10 of them c. I’m allergic.
I ended up walking to all my classes (Tuesday is the worst day for this to happen because I have more spread out classes than any other day), periodically stopping by my bike when I’m near it to see if my visitors are gone. It wasn’t till 5:30 when I left work for the second time that day that I was able to retrieve my bike safely. The moral being: bees suck.

I’ve been meaning to add some pretty funny posts to the website recently but just haven’t gotten to it. I’ve been really lazy and just keep forgetting. I’m pretty tired right now so I’m not going to post them this minute however. The last thing I wanted to let happen however is let it go an entire month before a new post so I’m posting this. I figured I’d give all two of you diligent readers some previews before I get to posting tomorrow: “Bees”, “pants”, “Birthday!”, “sex.”

Stay tuned for stories of danger, sex, and intrigue, here at Tedger.com.

No, I’m not actually getting a new desk, I’m quite happy with the two I have currently. I just rearranged to make room for my good ol’ CRT. I decided that I wanted to start using Aria to her full potential. Since getting her up and running nearing a year ago I’ve been running her as a headless server (with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse) and I think it’s time for that to change. I’d just had this feeling that I wasn’t really using my computers to their full potential this way. There is still quite a few problems with using graphics on Aria, but as far as hardware goes it’s just fine. So my desk is rearranged and looks even cooler/nerdier than ever before.
