I attended the 2011 Levi’s Gran Fondo and festival in Santa Rosa, California today. It was amazing with 7,500 riders converging on Stony Point Road and West College Avenue for an 8:00AM mass start. Also in attendance, besides Levi Leipheimer included Patrick Dempsey, Scott Nydam, Ethan Suplee, Odessa Gunn, and many more!

Check out the video clip montage below (1080p):

2011 San Francisco Street Food Festival

Gbcue — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 00:36:54 +0000

Yesterday I attended the 2nd Annual San Francisco Street Food Festival! I ate some of the best tasting foods I’ve ever had.

First up was Banh Mi from Nom Nom Truck. Then we went in search of Wise Brothers but they had sold out of everything. Next was the Big-Ass Sandwiches truck. Fries in a sandwich, never heard of it! Last was Cremé Brulee Cart but he was also sold out of almost everything except Café Mocha, boo. Oh well, next year, I guess we’ll have to get here much earlier.

It was very crowded, but the food wasn’t that expensive.

Of course you can see some photos here.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer

I’ve been looking to get my hands on an ASUS Eee Pad Transformer (TF101-A1) since Monday night/Tuesday morning. The official release date was April 26, 2011, but apparently stocks were so low at every retailer, that barely anybody got one. Last I heard, May 13 is another launch date (for the 32Gb version) for most online retailers and brick and mortar stores.

You can try and buy one from Amazon with the links below and a couple photos after the jump!

16GB: ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101-A1 16GB
32GB: ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101-B1 32GB
Keyboard Dock: ASUS Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Keyboard/Docking Station
ASUS Sleeve Case: ASUS Sleeve Case for ASUS Eee Pad TF101 Transformer (TF101 Sleeve)

Happy New Year!

Wow, Lots of Updates to the Site!

Gbcue — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 05:39:18 +0000

So, I’ve spent the last couple of hours upgrading the site to use the Tasty theme (link at the very bottom of the page). It was only $5 and it includes five different killer colors. It’s probably the best WordPress theme I’ve ever seen. More after the jump.

Additionally, I’ve revamped the Google ads, so that there are more, after all, the ads are the lifeblood of this website. More content has been added, such as the links in the sidebar, Twitter widget, YouTube widget, and the Lifestream, which incorporates over 50 different websites’ information into this cool widget. Also, see the “You might also like:” links in each page, all in an effort to make the site the coolest its ever been!
