One Year Ago Today

we are not monsters, we're moral people: obama on the environment

if you are not an idiot, you have to be somewhat disturbed by obama's environmental policies.  this recent epa enforcement issue and the tar sands pipeline position show a president who only does the bidding of his corporate paymasters to the detriment of everyone else. 

billy joel attila

the worst album of all time?  quite possibly, as the music is irredeemably awful.  but the worst aspect is not the colossal stupidity.  no, the worst is that it is horribly fake; it's a shallow, boring construct, made by morons.  it's absolutely a joke album, but the joke is on billy joel and jon small.

chris kvale: the world's finest bicycle frames

chris kvale makes the world's finest bicycle frames.  if roland della santa and j.p. weigle are his equals as frame builders and designers and richard sachs is a marketing genius and internet personality who used to build nice bike frames for a living, kvale remains an unsurpassed master of the custom bicycle frame.  his frames are clean and elegant, with hours of detail work and amazingly thin hand-filed lugs, and drawing on his decades of experience, chris's custom designs ride as well or better than any frame in the world.  he is also the true one-man shop; every facet of his frame construction is done only by mr. kvale, even painting.  you cannot get a better custom bike frame period.



teeny tiny mix tapes bliss

i recently had some unfortunate mandatory boring time, but i spent it strolling through the first 100 pages of tiny mix tapes on my phone.  this was a true blessing from jeebus, as the light, fluffy snark and timely infotainment kept me from interacting with my environment.
