I'm feeling a little old lately, having a nine month old child in the house. Over the years, even prior to having a little munchkin in the house, I pitied the toys and content kids were being exposed to — crap like Barney, Veggie Tales, etc. Even when they tried to remake good old properties like [...]

Sadly, there's been a bit of a lull in new content on the ol' Keefer Madness blog. Sorry about that. Life and work have gotten in the way. Also coinciding with this lull is the fact that the way I aggregate new posts to my social networking accounts — twitterfeed.com, stopped working (had to reauthenticate all [...] My current job has me setup with the entry level MacBook. At work, the portable's display becomes the secondary monitor, next to a widescreen flat panel LCD. Like the geek that I am, I love to customize and tweak every possible setting on my computers, setting them up to exactly how I like them. I love [...] So priorities change as you get older. I keep toying back and forth with getting rid of the Xbox 360 and/or our Nintendo Wii. With a [near] eight month old in the house, and working two jobs, a bit of freelance thrown in the mix, squeezing in some saddle time on the various bikes, plus just [...] Thanks to a co-worker, one of my favorite recent adds to my RSS reading is CoolInfoGraphics. Today, they had a post to Create Your Own Personal Infographic via ionz.com/br. For all your English speaking peeps like myself, make sure to hit the British flag in the upper right hand corner. It's a great concept, but I [...] Notice the lack of cycling posts? Make that, notice the lack of cycling? The biggest excuse is that currently, I'm working two jobs, bringing in the big bucks.. err bringing in some money. It's been consisting of a fair number of hours away from the house. Besides missing my wife and little boy, the other huge [...]
Now, it's been quite a long time since there have been any firmware updates and it seems they're going to leave the unit in its defective, unreliable state. Instead, I think they're hoping 305 customers will just move up to a Edge 705 or the new Edge 500 (which is in some ways, is a step back in feature set). I have gone through 4 exchanges, and now am about to get my fifth unit. Garmin has yet to do anything to make feel more confident or satisfied with my. Read on to see the letter I sent to Garmin, quite unhappy with the current state of things. Continue Reading Fed up With Garmin Reliability, Quality Control and Customer Service » Merry Christmas from the Keefers. We hope you have as wonderful of a holiday as we did with great friends and family. Ours was super special, with it being Tyler's first Christmas. Both sets of grandparents (and my sister and brother-in-law) were able to take part and enjoy, which was really cool. Expect a little video [...] So we've had a lot of joy in 2009, with the birth of our happy little boy, Tyler. But I've also seen my other [furry] boy — Bongo, start to deteriorate. Sure, over the years, more of his coat has turned white, he's slowed down and even had some arthritis flare ups. But right before Thanksgiving, [...]
Since Ty's birth, I've only been on a couple road and mountain rides each, and it's exciting to have a workable solution to get back into a regular riding routine. I didn't get a ton of miles in, but was able to criss-cross through a bunch of Raleigh roads, exploring a bit. |

While I love my Garmin Edge 305 when it works, I've had a series of problems — mostly related to booting and battery life. I really feel like the 305 has some major flaws, whether it's software or hardware, or some combination of both.
