I love cycling, I managed to log 1400km on my bike in 2010 and I’d like to beat that this summer.

The thing I hate most about cycling: Other cyclists.

Cars treat cyclists like crap, and as an aggregate we deserve it. Cyclists routinely run red lights weaving through pedestrians and cars as they cross the street, run stop signs cutting off cars that have begun to cross, ride the wrong way down one way streets, take to sidewalks when the road is slow, cut in front of turning vehicles while continuing forwards, etc. etc.

I wish more cyclists behaved, so we could start expecting cars to treat us fairly.

Hi, I’m Paul Reinheimer, a developer working on the web.

I wrote a book titled Professional Web APIs with PHP back in 2006, and am currently working in Biomedical Informatics for a major public health company.

I’m working on a project to help developers called WonderProxy which has proxies all over the world. Working on GeoIP development? Now you can finally test properly! We've also released Global Ping Statistics for expected ping times between cities, as well as a Load Testing Tool to measure your site's ability to handle load. Our most recent site checking tool is Where's it Up? which checks your sites availability globally, returning HTTP, DNS, and Traceroute details

My hobbies are cycling, photography, travel, and engaging Allison Moore in intelligent discourse. I frequently write about PHP and other related technologies.

I co-founded:
