Year 24

This weekend was spent in Gobles and Kalamazoo. I hung out with Meredith’s family, got to go on the weekly Moped Army ride, and my friends threw me a birthday party too. All in all, it was a good weekend and birthday. I’m now 24; hoo-ya.

This weekend I also learned about the beauty that is the Sega DreamCast. The DreamCast has been officially discontinued, and no more games are being written for it — but that’s okay, because there are all sorts of unintended uses. For example, people have written various emulators that work on the DreamCast system, such as a NES emulator called NesterDC. I have a copy of this on one disc with 1000 old 8-bit Nintendo games, that all play full screen on the DreamCast. It’s crazy to think that this is even possible. Read more about it at DCEmulation.

Beck-Sea Age=top album of the fall. it sounds kind of like realizing things are shitty but knowing they will get better.

He’s also one of the few people whom I don’t get bored with, because he goes into new musical styles on every album. Side note: Have you seen that the album has four different covers?

Simon— Sorry that I was unable to attend your birthday soiree… Happy Twenty-Four. Hopefully it is treating you better than twenty-four treated me. I was such a wreck 23, 24, 25. I felt old then. I don’t know why but, I felt much older at 24 than I do now at 28. …funny how that works. You’re planning on going to the Cinci BBQ, correct? e.

Cinci BBQ? Oh yeah. I’ll be coming to Kalamazoo the night before, and driving down with all the rest of you guys. It’s going to be awesome.

I hear that you’ve given up on the Motobecane; it’s probably for the better. Having a consistently running moped is the most important part. Are you selling the Motobecane(s)?
