The pop of a champagne cork at Noon today signaled that Movable Type 3.2 has been pushed out for general release.

If only I was in better shape. . .

June 20, 2005

In a past life I cycled my way across Europe including climbs over the Pyrenees and the Dolomites. I was in the best shape I’ve ever been and towards the end I rode along with an Austrian team out for a ride and stayed right along with them, panniers and handlebar bags and all. I’ve [...]
