I also got a new bike! My last 2 bikes have cost me a combined €35, so I really splurged on this one, paying nearly double. I still can’t believe that I found such a good deal, though, everything about it is in perfect working order. I just wish the handlebar was a little higher, and it could use some shocks… But it’s a smooth ride and I tear up the city, whose constant construction is no longer an obstacle!
 

 

In other news, I wrote a short piece for a techy-news website,
which they attributed to my online persona. Can I still put this on my resume?

On it, write down the names of the months, up and down. Now next to each month write something that happened to you in that month, 2009. Continue this trend for all the 12 months of the year.
