I'm trying to put together a resource list for fat cyclists. This was a good place to start.

I have to admit, the bit about fat cyclists seems to be a prevalent attitude among many cyclists. I have a granny bike and a fat butt, and I often feel I should be apologizing for not racing racing racing to get through the streets when I'm out on my bike.

I once used Mozy. The less said about that, the better. OK, I'll say a bit more – IT NEVER WORKED. Backblaze, on the other hand, works like a Mac application: unobtrusive, quietly working, and getting the job done while getting out of my way.

I could stand to remember these things when I'm off on one of my (weeks-long) sulks.

A while back, I said something very much to this effect on Twitter. If libraries really are committed to 'access for all', then shouldn't that also mean that we should try to embrace other computing platforms as well?
