colon right quit

Saturday, June 23rd, 2007

For the vim users out there… are you tired of hitting Esc just to save and exit? Add this tidbit to your .vimrc:

inoremap :wq <ESC>:wq<CR>

This will let you type ‘:wq’ to write and quit while still in insert mode.

Sand Point Overlook

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

I just got back from a sick 11-mile mountain bike ride at Nisene Marks State Park and finally found Sand Point Overlook. Here’s my route.

I parked my truck at the base of the mountain and after an hour of climbing the uphill switchbacks, made it to Sand Point Overlook. Here are some pictures…. me at the top… my bike at the top… and the view. What’s next? At the top, there’s a fork in the road.

The best part….. nonstop downhill for 14min 38sec. Reminded me of sledding the Preda-Bergun 3-mile sled run in Switzerland.

I also found a great 360 virtual reality of Sand Point Overlook.
