Bigbelly the solar powered garbage Compactor
I found yet another reason why I love California. While taking care of some errands yesterday I came across a strange looking garbage can. What I found is that it was actually a garbage compactor, and even cooler is that its solar powered!
This is a great for the environment as compacted trash will take up less space in the dumps. The only possible issue I see is the ability to sort through compacted trash for bottles, cans, and other recycleable goods.
I’m sure its pissing off the hordes of homeless people in Santa Monica that go through the garbage cans for cans and what not.

CMA? what’s that?
So I’m in Nashville, TN this week (well Brentwood anyways) to rebuild the corporate network for a company Yahoo just acquired. (Rivals.com)
As I’m checking into the Sheraton Hotel, I ask if there are any available room upgrades as I’m a Starwood member. The hotel clerk tells me that they are fully booked because of the CMA’s. I give her a blank look…and ask what do you mean by the CMA’s? She gives me a look as if i’m mentally deranged, and says “you know, the Country Music Awards?”
haha….damn southerners

Team Durcan – Triathlon winners!
Rose and I completed our first triathlon, and I think we’re hooked. Ok we didn’t win, but man we had fun.
Lessons learned
1. socks are super important. I got a pair of the Nike running socks. Holy crap…totally worth it. they are the dry fit type with extra padding in certain locations. Didn’t have any blisters or foot issues after the race.
2. You need to get to a race at least an hour early to stretch out and prep your transition area. We got to the race basically right before the race started…which meant…I didn’t get to stretch out properly, or set my transition area up properly
3. I need to practice swimming more. Swimming in the ocean was a lot harder than I thought. My energy was completely spent when I finished the swim.
4. If you race with a mountain bike expect to be slower and more tired.. More tire and tread equals more friction. So you have to pedal more and harder to keep the same speed as those riding road bikes with skinny tires. Needless to say I was getting passed left and right, and was tired as crap when I finished the 10 miles.
