ha.

for the second time i'm posting something found on copyranter. it's fast becoming one of my favorite blogs...so, y'know, check it out.



realtorism is truly a feast of cheesball slogans, pictures, and marketing techniques. i like the snark, and i always like pictures. enjoy!

woah.

so, as far as bikes go...i really missed the boat on this. Alta was a new project about four years back. i don't really think that's the point though...it's the advertising images that have captured me. things that don't look right--done right--often look...well, kinda neat. taking the time to make the impossible possible is a noble endeavor. this pursuit of what if is one way to retain your childlike sense of wonder...and i respond with a smile everytime i see it.



kinda reminds you of the triplets of belleville, no?

politics is funny.

the best thing to happen to get your war on, is the animated adaptation from 23/6. it really brings to life a cynical and funny but sometimes dry political comic. true to form, and much more internetable...or something like that.

science unfair!

Dr Monster as he is known via flickr, or travis pitts as you might address him in person has 'shopped a number of kid's science fair presentations. the results are exceptional. if this idea isn't one of genius then that word doesn't means what i think it does...







travis has a website!

it's like twitter only...

sometimes, you just need a little something stupid.

google knows...

what does google know?

i like that i'm not the only one concerned. light hearted to be sure, but the point is still in there somewhere. i'm no conspiracy theorist, and i certainly don't believe that the development of new non-essential technologies is inherently bad. i just think we need to, at the very least, be aware of what we give up in the name of ease and convenience. what i think we need--to use someone else's words--is a healthy distrust.

what's good about a new place.

it's good back from a long weekend in LA, and it's double good to not be sick anymore. i'm still no big fan of that sprawling city-burb, but perhaps a little more time there would make for a fairer assessment. i like traveling, regardless of where, because unfamiliar places always seem to reawaken my inner 2 year old. i see things differently...and i like that.

as good as it gets.

i fucking love maryland. it's been a while since i've been back for a visit...so perhaps i had forgotten that. i got a healthy dose this weekend. full of riding, scenery, tasty beer and food, good company, and ton's of laughter. by far the most epic and photo-documented element was sunday's ride. i think my pictures tell it better than my words can.
