The Ride to Rio: Bicycling from Los Angeles to Rio de Janeiro

An acquaintance of mine remarked that he sold his bicycle in Seattle a few months ago to some guy who explained, “I’m going to ride it to South America.” “Okay,” my acquaintance said, probably with some degree of skepticism.

Ride to Rio

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
