cleaning out your ash trap (often confused with ass-trap) is a dirty job. not only is there a lot of ash in there, turns out there’s other crap too (lets not take the ass joke too far though):
- charcoal (duh)
- half-burned pieces of wood (great post, david)
- miscellaneous pieces of paper (aluminium wrappers, foil, etc)
- nasty synthetic rag type materiel (clogotage ze vacuum!)
- bloated chunks of metal; really low quality stuff that might have belonged to, say, the end of a shitty curtain rod.
- cigarrette butts, used matchbooks
- feline hair, likely belonging to an ancestor of the mayblenheimer
- various pieces of glass; not clearly identifiable as belonging to a bottle, but perhaps coming from a beaker or pipe
- 8 inches of bamboo, singed on one end
- lots of nails and screws
- aluminium cans
fortunately there were not bones, weapons, firecrackers, or large globs of radioactive goo. i’m still in once piece, even if my snot is black. for those of you who wish to attempt this operation in your own homes, i highly recommend a shop (wet/dry, especially if it’s raining) vac. i think i emptied the guy about 8 times today, and made use of two out of the three hose-lengthening attachments.

k and i grabbed dinner in uptown just as it started to rain. thinking we got back on the road too late for another downpour, i was pleased to find that minnesota still had something special in store for us. those disc brakes are really something. exact same braking power, tons of noise. now if someone can tell me what m.u.s.s. stands for, that’d be great.

it’ll be tragic when google doesn’t figure it out. crapitude.
update: Booyah! sweet, sweet Googlerweb, you have been fleeced0xr. it really stands for ‘more urban single speed’, according to the Ellster (whose research skeelz i have come to trust).

(reasons why i could never be a web techno-analyst.) i’ll admit right now. i never could have predicted myspace being worth anything. i understand that what the buyers and sellers are really interested in is all the personal information people keep on myspace’s servers, and (if not that) the fact that so many people have accounts there, but i can’t figure out what’s in it for the users. if i were one, here’d be some of my complaints:
- too many ads. i’m using adblock and filterset G updater up the yin yang so i don’t see much. but there’s not much else to see except for ads.
- shitty interface. can’t tell if i’m someone else viewing my page or myself viewing my page. took me forever to update my photo.
- you can’t change the url of your profile? you’d think a simple mod_rewrite action could take care of that.
- no one here seems to know how to design a web page. going to myspace look for content is like using AOL to enhance your interweb experience.
- arbitrary restrictions. flash player 9 for viewing video? reminds me of websites that used only show content to certain browsers
that’ll do for now. bonztime for bedzo.
