    This thing, is awesome. I think that if I ever picked one up, I would be tempted to get it in German or Portuguese. Check out the rest of the color/language variations at Biegert & Funk. [via]

    Ok, this one is a serious throwback. Going all the way to my days in Jr. high. They were before Silverchair and The Vines. At the time, Midnight Oil was like the coolest Australian band since Men at Work. They had a couple of songs that were kind of anthems of the era. Like, “Bed’s…

    Happy Summer Solstice. More importantly, happy Go Skateboarding Day. Like a total schlub, I will most likely be unable to participate in the festivities. But, I will be there mentally. Although… being that it is the longest day of daylight, perhaps I will be able to sneak in a quick session before the day is…

    Ok, I’m going to recount things in reverse order, so that this post doesn’t start out being about running, again. I know that it is getting to be a bit much. This afternoon we had a nap with piper. She was kind of grouchy when we first arrived. I could tell that she was about…

    Hello, I’m happy to report that I earned an A, this week. It was my first week of training for this year’s NYC Marathon (only 19 more weeks to go, hehe). Training started Monday, So I could have slacked Sunday. But notice, I didn’t. Also, most of the routes that I do nearby my house,…

    I had this thing tonight in DUMBO, and decided to walk back across the Brooklyn Bridge before catching the train. I was rewarded with this sunset. I would just like to iterate that these images are straight out of the camera, with zero editing (enhancement). It was a pretty good one. So ready for the…

    …in the words of Ice Cube. The photo has nothing to do with anything. While we are on the subject, I had about 9 people ask me, today, what is the significance of “Ware 2.” So sorry to disappoint. The answer, there is no significance. Just some dude with a red broad-tip and bad hand…

    I’m thinking about having this image tattooed on my chest and back. That way maybe it will be easier for illiterate people to figure out why I’m vibing them so hard when I pass them on the bridge. I’m also thinking about starting to lobby for a the GW to adopt the approach that has…

    I have to admit that the Black Keys‘ music is a little bit new to me. Every once in a while I would hear about them, or catch a little snippit of one of their songs. But I never really gave them a shot. About a month ago, they were playing a secret promo show…
