Am I missing a tooth?
The Monkey and I went to the Ballard Crit this weekend. Good. Fun. Racing. We got to meet the entire Erbeck brood. They aren’t adorable or anything. I wonder who saw the new movie with Zach Galifianakis?
Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix
I have been following Phoenix since their debut album in the early 2K’s (wow, I just said that). They have had some wonderful singles with the likes of “Too Young”, “Everything is Everything”, and “Run Run Run”. Despite my hopes for this band, the albums simply didn’t have the staying power. Enter Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, [...]
For Heavens Sake
A dream in pure white When compared with the classic black and silver models in the M8 series, this special limited edition with a white leather finish is destined to be the eye-catcher of this summer. The LEICA M8 ‘White Edition’ is available in a set including a silver anodised LEICA ELMARIT-M 1:2.8/28 mm ASPH [...]
Dan Deacon & Liam Lynch – Drinking Out of Cups
Seriously, this is why you have a blog… to help share “information” like this. I dare you not to laugh. I wonder if I am going to hear back from Mike DeSalvo soon?
Chris Walken on Twitter
If you aren’t following Christopher Walken on Twitter you really should. He is almost as funny as the Panda Bear behind Fuck You, Penguin Here are a couple samples: “A friend from out west mailed me a “Snuggie.” A joke apparently. I don’t get it. I look like a derelict Gumby in the thing. Funny, [...]
MFG Cyclocross – It’s good to have options…
There has been no better news to hit Jet City since Starbucks announced their soluble coffee, Via… (it’s been a long winter) I wonder if Pistone will race this series?
Tarra & Bella
My buddy Shaun shared this with me. He owns a sweet Bella of his own. let’s hope he doesn’t “invest” in an elephant. I wonder if Elisha has ever ridden an elephant?
“The best part about Kenny Powers is being Kenny Powers, Kiss my sweet a$$!”
East Bound & Down airs Sundays on HBO @ 10:30 PM My Brother-in-law’s initials are KP also. At some point he may have even shared the same hair stylings in a blond version but I can’t remember. I wonder if he has seen East Bound & Down?
Rapha rides the TOC
Rapha Rides the TOC – Episode 2 from RAPHA on Vimeo. I know that many folks are posting these videos from Rapha (as well they should). They represent a greater part of me. Sure, the love of cycling, the simple nature of being on your bike. The folks at Rapha have an uncanny knack for [...]
Kittens!
I wonder if Cora likes kittens?

Our twelfth album, We Are The Same, will be released in North America on Tuesday, April 7th. The album was produced by Bob Rock and recorded primarily at the Bathouse Studio. It contains [...]
College Years
I found these on The Online Photographer. Yet another glimpse into the past of our President and how he walked in similar steps to a majority of us. “In 1980, fellow Occidental College student Lisa Jack asked her classmate Barry Obama to pose for a roll of pictures for her portfolio. She went searching for [...]
I interupt the 24hr Twinz News Service…
To bring you this very important message… (Guess who has a new tracksuit on order?) Datarock-Computer Camp Love Despite my recent bad luck with Norwegians, I still love em.
Getting to the bottom of things
In general we take what the advertisers tell us and we run with it. We rarely dig deeper, reflect inward, and find the truth. On one crisp fateful fall day (er, late morning) two “young” men sought to find the truth that they have been searching for since they were just fledgling beer enthusiasts, “what’s [...]
Charlie Alan Kraft
I took photos of his images, I looked up his art online but I did not know I had been sitting next to him for more than a few beers. Just recently I was introduced to Charlie Alan Kraft. It was a long time coming, as him and I had spent many of the same [...]
No Country For Old Men
I did not know how big of a Cormac McCarthy fan I was until I read Child of God. McCarthy’s writing style or lack there of is what draws me in as much as his story lines. He gracefully moves from first-person narrative into matter-of-fact descriptions all the while holding a poetic prose. Now with [...]
Self Preservation
Self preservation is part of an animal’s instinct that demands that the organism survives. Pain and fear are parts of this mechanism. Pain causes discomfort so that the organism is inclined to stop the pain. Fear causes the organism to seek safety and may cause a release of adrenaline which has the affect of increased [...]

Hiphopapotamus vs. Rhymenocerous
Much has been written about the disappointing end to the Soprano’s series run on HBO. I chalked it up to the popular idea that we will see a dramatic reappearance of the cast on the big screen in the near future. As I shuffled around looking to shake that Soprano fog I found myself on [...]
