Any Hackintosh Builders out there?

The Windows XP OS on my beloved Acer netbook is so fried, it won't let me access anything Google (my mail, adsense, maps, wifi, etc). Would love to switch to the Mac Os. Anyone out there with experience with this? Or fixing the google problem ??

Here now as I sit with:

- A wheel broken so bad that it is in two pieces

- A bus that won't start and has three days to move or be towed

- A computer that is so badly infected I cannot access anything Google

- Repeated requests for a Powerbook or Ibook so I can work with my old files so I can make $$  that have been ignored and ignored

I winder how much lower I can sink. And so the above words are my THXgiving here on Black Friday!!

    THX 4 all of U!!

Here is a sample of a bus that has been covered with what is called a wrap.

So not only do we have architect, Ron Bishop, designing  the interior, but now we gotta find a graphic artist who wants to get us an idea for how we can deliver our Greenway message to those on America's roads next summer. Who wants to help us get into all the media that will result  the as we tow the Busycle and I ride the Eagle SF to Boston!! See http://www.bikeroute.com/HBGR

Stanford Bike Activist/TransCon Vet & Artist Draws the Eagle

I was stopped at the Stanford University fountain working my iPhone DoList yesterday when LucyAnne Richards asked me if it would be OK for her to draw my bike. Of course I said yes and as I did my work, she did hers..

I thought nothing about it until I took a look at what she created and she told me a little about herself.

Lucy, who is in a mechanical design class, was fascinated by my bike for more than just the unique angles. She rides too. And talk about female gonzo. Lucy rode from Colorado to the Atlantic not once but twice. And one of the times was all by herself!

She even went out and got a grant so she could do more with her passion for bikes. New to the campus, she wants to interview me and learn all she can about local area bike culture so she can answer why bicycles are important in creating more sustainable and healthy communities.

Hopefully we'll see more of Lucy as we here at the National Bicycle Greenway help her get the data she needs to make her grant benefactors happy.

THX 4 all of U!!

Halloween Crit Mass w-former Assemblywoman/Future Sate Senator

Rode the train from Mountain View, CA, where Sally Lieber lives, to San Francisco for the 16th Halloween Critical Mass. And the fun started in while we were still in transit. As you can see, at left here, Sally was already having a grand time well before the ride began.

Why this warranted my time and why I am blogging all of this is because Sally is an extremely popular former CA State Assemblywoman who only left public office because she has been termed out. And she is a real bullets cyclist who is genuinely interested in the rights of the transportation cyclist who goes uncelebrated because he or she does not win corporate sanctioned bicycle races. So much so that she took time away from the campaign she announced a day and a half later for state senate to do this ride.

And the train was packed with revelers and

bikes. More so than I have ever seen..

From the 4th and King end of the line, we rode 3 or so miles along the waterfront to the Ferry Building.

Where across the way, Justin Herman Plaza was filled with bikes and merry makers. Here Sally is posing with my Eagle HiWheel.

For the next almost three hours, I had all I could do to keeping the rubber side down on the Eagle. A tricky bike to ride, I had to stay very focused and very alert to anything that could upset my forward momentum. From rail tracks, to suddenly stopping bikes, to pedestrians walking in front of our slow moving bikes, etc, my eyes and senses were wide awake and open. The work, which it is, is very rewarding as people all night long asked about the bike and the National Bicycle Greenway.

Before we got on the 10:07 train, we stopped at the 4th St Whole Foods and filled our hungry tummies. The train ride home was peaceful...

What a great way to end a worthy 2009 Halloween Critical Mass Bike Ride!!
