Last weekend seven of us took a ride from Seattle out to Wenatchee, up through Osoyoos and Penticton, to Merritt, Harrison Hot Springs and back. Here’s a photo just north of Penticton taken by a friend with my camera (f/8, 1/160, 21mm):

Could the death of the CD lead to a resurgence of DRM?
A post on Slashdot notes that CD sales continue to decline coinciding with iTunes becoming the third largest music retailer. Could the end of the CD spell the end of music sharing? Most shared music comes from ripped CDs. While individuals can work to unwrap DRM protected music, that is clearly more compicated than ripping a CD, especially since ripping software is cheap and available. Could the end of the CD lead to more DRM?
Flying Wheels
I’ve been getting into cycling and on Saturday I rode the Flying Wheels Summer Century. I rode the 70 mile route (not the 100) in preparation for the STP, the 200 mile 2 day Seattle to Portland bike ride. It’s not quite the same as riding the Hog, but lots of fun nonetheless. I’m definitely looking forward to the STP, though — it’s on 14 July and it’ll be a great way to celebrate my birthday.
