    Warning: this post contains nothing interesting (not that any of them do, hahahah). But, some good things have happened this week, already, and I just thought that I would feel like an ingrate if I didn’t share them. Here we go with the lists, again. First– I recently sweated my iPod Shuffle to death. So…

    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…

    (above: self portrait) I have been so freaking busy this week. It has seriously been the longest “short week,” ever. I haven’t had time to write anything interesting, or even think anything interesting. I have shot some really good stuff this week, though. It has also been really nice to have such an uptick in…

    This is my weekly running evaluation, that should have actually been posted yesterday. But, we have family in town. So, you know…  Anyway, I have decided that it will be easier to follow the normal Sunday to Saturday week, since that way Nike adds my totals for me. I may post it on Saturday, maybe…

    I spent Tuesday morning at the SoHo Burton showroom, getting the lowdown on their gear for the 2011 line. I can’t wait to spill the beans over on SoJones. Burton is also throwing a Cinco de Mayo party Wednesday night. I really wish that I could attend. I have been to a few of their…

    I think that I’m going to start evaluating my running on a weekly basis, assigning a letter grade each Friday. I came up with that idea, because this week I earned an F-. It is only Friday, but I can already make that assessment, since today was my first run, since last Friday. So, from…

    One idea that Reagan has had in the works for a while, is to blog about hair. Last night, we shot some images for the project. Her new site will be going up at hairdresseronfireblog.com. The name, of course is from the Morrissey’s song from the “Bona Drag” album. It’s kind of nerdy, but, we…

    Ultimate iPod deck, built from a 50 caliber ammo-can. The only thing that even gives this thing a run for its money, is coconut headphones. There are two versions. One comes with dual 25 watt amps, the other with dual 70 watt amps. Holy cow! 70 watts x2 is more juice than some very loud…

    A-team van. I would have freaked to see this in real life, when I was 10. M3 Undercarriage: Volkswagen paint swatches. Super cool display. I really liked this image: And, my favorite by far: the baby blue Astin Martin with the Union Jack. Ms. Moneypenny in the background, filing some stuff.

    Over the weekend, I rescued this BIC turntable from the curb, when I was walking home from parking the car. It was before the monsoon started, so it hadn’t been exposed to the elements or anything. It just needed to have the dust wiped from it. It appears to be in working order. It isn’t…
