Dog Years
I have not had a dog in years… Until recently, I had a cat named Gordon (he acted like a dog). It is amazing what pets can bring to ones life. (thanks Dooce) I wonder if The Beard is nervous for his presentation…?
Mach GoGoGo – I am starting to believe in time travel
I think The Beard did something slightly wrong and all things did not fall into place exactly how it was scripted by Tatsuo Yoshida. If you watch the trailer and reflect on The Beards passion for cars you will easily see that when The Beard was born in 1974 he actually traveled back in time [...]
I’ve never loved hip-hop on this level before

Where he from, Africa? Q: Yeah, his dad is from Kenya. A: Barack Obama? Q: Yeah. A: What the fuck?! That [...]
bike awareness and moonwalking bears
I am not the most elitist cycle guy out there. I think that guy lives in a vortex we call Portland, Oregon. Despite not being the mostest elitist out there, on my commutes into the office or even on rides I am faced with the reality that our commuting peers are greatly unaware of the [...]
When “The Vlad” meets the USA
Perfection. God bless the internerds. I wonder if Div has one of these in SS, Co.?
Over heard at the office…
“The excitement of my weekend consisted of me planting seeds that will yield 400 to 500 pound pumpkins… that should make for some good photos.” I wonder what Divens is doing?
“98, 99, 100… because I care”
“Did you know that sweat is caused by millions of tiny sweat glands dropping a deuce? Don’t smell like a turtle cage!” I forwarded the Old Spice site to some of you but here is the youtube consolidated version – i simply can’t get enough. I heart Will Ferrell. I wonder what Div is doing?
CHUM
I have read Chum’s Blog – Sissy Fish for a couple years now. He is a talented artist, has a great ear for music but his passion for surfing is what keeps me coming back. Take a look at his blog if you ever need inspiration for surfing the PNW. The post I am stealing [...]
Charlie!
This has been posted by almost every blog but what the hell… now the 3 people that read my blog can view it. (hi mom, hi sis!)
Bike Porn
My triumphant return to Portland, Oregon. The NAHBS is this weekend. I am pretty excited, lots of bike geeks and a ton of socials and catching up with old friends.
Bike Boxes
Seattle Times recently ran an article addressing the dangers that cyclist face on their commute. I am hoping that Seattle is paying attention to the progressive bike culture and safety awareness in Portland. Portland still faces plenty of issues but their awareness to the needs is refreshing. On a lighter note – If you aren’t [...]
The Vladimir
As soon as I can mentally move past the “middle stages” of growing my hair out, this is my goal – THE VLADIMIR. You heard it here first so… – don’t bite my style, errrrr Karpets and my style. word.
Holy Crap (There Will Be Blood)
Daniel Day-Lewis is GOOD!
Lenses – how they are made
I stole this post from kottke. If you aren’t already reading his blog, you now have no excuses. He is an excellent source to a lot of interesting insights to our everyday world.

Kansas City; Head On
There were reports from KC that said, “Ryan was never in contention” to defend his National Championship title. There were also reports that Page had ridden away from Johnson. Regardless, it is horrible to see Trebon’s day / opportunity to repeat as National Champion end like this. I hope that Ryan and Steve both make [...]
Knowing your limits
Ben Folds does Compton
Uhhh… this song is horrible, seriously… how do they get away with this? sheeeesh!
Band Of Horses – No One’s Gonna Love You It’s looking like a limb torn off Or altogether just taken apart We’re reeling through an endless fall We are the ever-living ghost of what once was But no one is ever gonna love you more than I do No one’s gonna love you more than [...]
