One Year Ago Today

grant petersen writes books

rivendell's grant petersen wrote a book, with a nice excerpt in the atlantic!  who knew.  good for him, and i hope it finds some new readers who might not be down with the grant and rivendell and his history.

if i wrote a book about rivendell, it would be called this is not an upgraded rb-1 and why the hell isn't it, exactly??




i'm sure the roadeo is very nice, but it is about a billion lightyears from what i would like to see in a sweet, steel production road racing style frame.  all-arounder style frames mean nothing to me, but a nice rivendell frame with the 1992 rb-1 geometry would already be living with me.

 

collapse with agency

considering the nuclear weapons, the abrupt change of state in palestine/israel will probably be one of the most dangerous political and diplomatic crisises anywhere in the world.  it is an unstable, unsustainable situation every day, buoyed only by the massive influx of american cash and the incredibly backward leadership in the surrounding nations, so when the collapse happens much will depend on the humanitarian wisdom of vast numbers of abused and oppressed people and the wisdom of western diplomacy that has been ineffectual for many generations.  if it gets fucked up, it could be as bad as anything that's happened in a hundred years.
