Archive Overload
Wow– looking at the right-hand menu, I really need to find a way to collapse the archive list into a pop-up menu or something. It’s so long, you can’t see anything else now. 😛 Any WordPress plug-ins for that?

Proper English Title Caps 2 v.1.1
MoreAs one of the fifty kajillion projects I’m constantly working on, I’ve been slowly correcting the titles of my iTunes library. Sure, when I ripped my CDs, iTunes looks them up in the CDDB/Gracenote database, but they’re not often formatted the way I like them (and neither are the ones I’ve downloaded through various other […]

There were two websites which preceded SitM back in 1996-97, but they were even more hideously ugly than the ’99 SitM, and shall not be spoken of again.
Speaking of SitM’s history, I realize that Ye Olde StationintheMetro.com just celebrated its 7th birthday a few months ago on 23 December. Or rather, it didn’t. Because I forgot.

Unusual Bikes
This weekend, as I continue my process of cleaning out my bins of decade-old papers and such, I came across Strida, which is an amazing little fold-up bike. Reminds me of some other cool bikes that break the usual street/mountain bike mold, such as this lovely recumbent from Bigha, and this electric bike from eGo.
