First ride of the year
I did a fairly slow eight miles at a reasonable intensity. Now to get my heart rate under 50 by the end of summer (which will probably take eliminating caffeine, which is time I do that anyway). Caffeine is awareness on credit.

Thought for the day
Engineers create value, designers reveal value.
I had that thought while watching a documentary on the early history of Silicon Valley – it was entirely dominated by hard core engineers, all of them making components, not products.

- Random thought – I came across a blog comment (a random walk from TDAXP) a while ago (something about social class) who suggested that the whole reason that libertarians don’t care about social class (i.e. the 1%, underclass, etc) is that libertarianism consists largely of the high side of the autistic spectrum and libertarians are incapable of seeing social class. The implied assumption is that listening to libertarians talk about social class stuff is like listening to blind people talk about paintings. IMHO that is a feature, not a bug but opinions will vary. An interesting thought.
