Yesterday marked a very pleasant last-class-of-the-quarter, complete with bagels and poetry and Strong Bad. I must say that this summer quarter at NSCC was quite enjoyable and that both classes were strong and engaged.
After class yesterday, I rode to Bothell and back to take care of some paperwork. While ticking the miles, I though of yet another way to geekishly consider my velocipedic performance this season, so when I got home, instead of doing something useful, I created this:
The fuschia line is a linear projection from o to 2000 across the span of the season. The blue line is what I have actually done. You can see that for the first week I was at or above pace, and then it went to heck in a hurry. The most troubling bit is the prevalenance of horizontal blue sections in May and early June - those represent sequential days with no miles, and that's what really killed me. I got pretty much back on pace around June 10, but I can't seem to narrow the gap. We'll see what happens when we get back from Spokane: I'll have three weeks of no day classes, and then two weeks of commuting to Bothell.
Other geekish news: I got an invitation to Blogger Beta - but in my other identity at comix blogger Walaka, rather than this one as regular blogger walaka. I'll play with it and let you know.

How did the invite appear? I'm anxiously awaiting mine!
I am adopting a Groucho Marx-like attitude to these invitations. Of course, that might change should I actually get one.
WV = xidrjxih (or what your middle name should be if you expect to get a Blogger Beta invite).
