Holy fuck. I'm sure most of ya'll won't be nearly as into this as I am, but The Gray Album by Dj Dangermouse is FUCKING AMAZING!!!! It's a mashup of Jay Z's the Black Album and The Beatles' The White Album. This shit is DEAD on. The Black Album is growing on me anyway, but this way is just nuts. Take a listen. You'll never listen to either ( Read more... )

well, as of probably Friday I'll have the tools to be making wheels at home, or most of them anyway. There's still one I forgot, but I hope to make another order before too long. I also ordered the parts I need to finish my touring bike, which is SUPER exciting. I also got fenders for my fixie which should be pretty cool. They're silver, which ( Read more... )

So I'm in the process of moving all my stuff over to Sarah's for the next month, 'cuz my landlord is a dick and everyone is leaving my house. Sarah's lease is up in a month, and then we're getting a really awesome place about a mile from here. Some friends of ours own the building, and one of my co-workers lives in the apartment now. It's this ( Read more... )

So apparently Kryptonite (the bicycle lock company) is in the shit-hole big time. Well, actually, any company that makes a lock that takes a cylindrical key is, but Kryptonite in particular because they're the biggest. Any round keyed lock can be opened with the body of a pen. With most Krypto's, it's your everyday standard BIC. Other size keys ( Read more... )

So Friday morning Sarah and I got on our bikes and rolled up outta town. We rode about 70 miles or so to Lake Geneva, where we camped at the Big Foot Beach State Park. Very nice. Pleasant day, a bit warm, crazy traffic in places until we figured out a good alternative to Alqonquin Road which sucked ASS. Saturday morning we got back on our bikes ( Read more... )

So life is pretty good these days. Sarah and I are very happy, We're riding out bikes to Madison on Friday morning, and I'm getting fitted for my frame on Sunday. I'm working alot, but I'm expecting soon to be working a good deal less because the summer bike building season is pretty much done, and I won't be needed at one of the shops I work at ( Read more... )

www.whatiswhat.com this dude is amazing. I've never seen anything like it in my life.

So Sarah and Al had their show last night, and it was great. Al is a great songwriter, and terribly silly, and a mean banjo player to boot. Sarah never ceases to amaze me with her violin playing. It makes me all sorts of warm and gushy inside to hear her play. Al busted out a number of old favorites by himself, then Sarah joined him for a few ( Read more... )

I started my new front wheel last night, it should be done by tomorrow or so. It's really exciting to watch something form out of such strange little pieces. I dig. Now I'm off to see if I can find a rear hub, as well as go to work early and get stuff done that I slacked off on on Sunday. Ya'll have a good day hear ( Read more... )
