I know I post more about cars than I do about bikes, but it takes a lot more doing to make a bike video this fucking ridiculous.

i wanna hang out with mr. chi city

this is why I keep my refrigerator stocked.

let's do this

new parka

just found the original army surplus version of this for $15, I love Goodwill. It's even got a cobra hood so I can wear my helmet under it! Unfortunately, it's in woodland camo and I've already almost gotten hit once while wearing it, so I'ma have to slap some reflective tape on that bitch.

This is about the cutest video ever.

on the AMC Eagle:

(transcribed from a high school creative writing assignment, and brought to new relevance by Nike6 and Adam Haynes. GET OUT OF MY HEAD, NIKE!)

Ever since I can remember I've wanted an AMC Eagle-- everyone's favorite four-wheel-drive station wagon, and the inspiration for almost all of Subaru's models for the past thirty years. When I was growing up, a friend of the family had one. I can barely remember riding in it, but I'm fairly certain it was an experience terrifying enough to repress-- roaring down the interstate at eighty miles an hour tethered to the road, barely, by four dryrotted Coopers, heat blasting so the poor thing didn't blow its headgasket.

The AMC Eagle is not a pretty car. It's not even remotely good looking. In fact, it resembles a Ford LTD wagon which ran up on a a jersey barrier at a high rate of speed, severed both axles, some how displaced the body of a Jeep Commando, and is now flying fender flares fifteen inches off the ground. Every Eagle I have ever seen (save the $X4) was brown. Poop brown. Faded clearcoat, oxidized, never seen any polish brown.

But I want a black one. Flat black, with the 308CI V8, double four barrell Holley's, and an Easton supercharger. Like Mad Max's car, only four-wheel-drive, and capable of carrying eight kids to school, soccer, and across the Serengeti, with room to spare for groceries.

oh dear

The guy who bunnyhops the beemer is definitely the best part.

it's like those really obnoxious David Cross missions from GTA:SA, only much more dangerous.

Clay Tolbert Stringer Royse Killed the Blog

I read this article in a Wired magazine from a few months back that made the bold statement that the blogosphere is going the way of Alderan. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but I'm willing to try my hand at murdering it.

It seems awfully lively from here, which is to say in front of my RSS reader. I haven't been below a thousand unread items in quite a while, which really makes me want to install greasemonkey and that addon that hides that number. My friends tell me I read too many blogs, but I say they don't read enough. We're probably both right. I subscribe to 61, but most of those haven't updated in the last month or so. There's probably an option to put my blogroll directly on here, but in case it'll help you get a better sense of my character and interests, here's what I read the most:

(not in any kind of order)

we make money not art: tied for wooster collective for my favorite art website
bldg blog: a friend of mine who dated an architecture student for a bit turned me on to this one. it rules pretty hard.
free art and technology lab: a spinoff of the graffiti research lab, their tagline "notorious R+D" sums it up.
makezine: you can take the diy out of punk, but you can't take the punk out of diy
wooster collective: a celebration of street art
boing boing: you probably know about this one, but it really is a directory of wonderful things.
bike snob nyc: this guy is a complete asshole, which is why I love him.
jason kottke: excellent links. This dude has excellent taste in things.
achewood: is not a blog, but Chris Onstad is the smartest comedian I have ever read. Start at the beginning if you haven't read it, the characters are the best part.

As stated above, there are many, many more. I will probably link to them in the future.
