but this kid is fucking it up wood-style. 16 year-old high school student Marco Facciola built a bike out of wood. I’m talking every part is made out of wood. Pretty damn impressive. “Marco had to complete this as a non-academic project for his International Baccalaureate, and inspiration came from his grandfather, forced to make [...]

Take my friend Steen, for example. An amazing chick in her own right, she s also a self-described smut peddler. I have linked a few times to her stuff, and will continue to do so. I think she’s the most talented photographer I have ever met; I can even say ‘I knew her when…’ but [...]

whatever that means… But this is not even remotely surprising… but still quite saddening. The US has refused visas for the Iran’s national cycling team who wish to take part in the World Cup competition held in Los Angeles. Iranian cycling team, which include Hassan-Ali Varposhti, Farshid Farsinejadian and Mahmoud Parash, were slated to fly [...]

Came across an article in the paper today about bikes. At the end was a link to what I presumed was one of the manufacturers of a cargo-bike. What I got was much cooler, in a way. Allow me to present to you, the loyal DC peruser, SMART MOVE. „Smart Move“ presents us with the [...]

Stormfront-dot-org. Yeah… THOSE assholes supporting him. Well, that says a whole lot right there, doesn’t it? Some choice quotes… “Ron Paul would collapse the Jewish infrastructure in this country.” “While Ron Paul does not really have much of a chance, WN should support him because the better he does the more exposure he can bring [...]

Interestingly, when I google’d it, I only found news on it from NON-US sources. (EDIT: Now it has a few… sorry.) I seem to remember Bush campaigning on something relating to oil… what was it…??? Bush Criticized Clinton Administration For High Gas Prices Bush In 2000: Bush Blamed Clinton Administration For High Gas Prices; Promised [...]

First I’d like to say I got 2 things for Christmas. Jack and shit. This would be nice though. Considering how infuriating the news is, and how much I really want to punch the TV/Monitor/kittens, this would come in handy. Yes it would. Next up on the list is the snark required and focus demanded [...]

Stumbled upon a good, if infuriating read in the online Vanity Fair about Bush’s economic legacy. The administration crows that the economy grew—by some 16 percent—during its first six years, but the growth helped mainly people who had no need of any help, and failed to help those who need plenty. A rising tide lifted [...]

Online Petition for equal prize money for female cyclists. You can even use it as a pick-up line after at the bar. “Hey I just signed a petition to get y’all ladies equal prize money when y’all do your 20 mile loop. Howz about we go get a bit crazy in my pick-em-up truck?” ‘Well, [...]

I think some of the best films latel have been coming out of asia. Korea has some of the best, with ‘Old Boy’ and ‘The Host’ being two prime examples. Then throw in a healt dose of HK films (Just about anything with Chow Yun Fat like Hard Boiled or The Killer ) and you [...]
