(*or your money back) Not a day goes by where I’m not painfully reminded of the slipping collective health of our nation, and so after thumbing through another diet book someone was reading to see what kind of advice was actually included, I thought I could do a better job in one post than in …

Feeling Belgian
Beer. Frites. Bikes. I can’t stop thinking about Belgium. It started last week with the details of the route for this year’s Ronde Van Vlaanderen getting released. The spring classics seem tangibly close. Not that I don’t already think about cycling constantly, but the Tour of Qatar has finally given me somewhat real preseason racing …
Less color
Before the recent dumping of snow: I think some of the interestingness would be lost in black and white. I just couldn’t bring myself to take out the orange glow of the lamp. It was nice against the original blueish shadows of the snow, but it pops even more now. Meanwhile, I finally found a …
There is No Santa Claus
I will fully admit that Lance Armstrong is what got me interested in cycling. I bought the Lance story hook, line, and sinker, and every July as a high schooler I glued myself to the TV after early morning swim practice in time to catch that day’s stage of the Tour de France live. I …
Spent
Believe me, this is my happy face. The kind of happy where you’re so physically exhausted that you know you won’t have any trouble falling asleep at night. This photo is from Thursday, but I looked about the same after my run this morning, only with even more blood coming out of my nose. For …
New York I love you, but you’re letting me down
I was in NYC over the weekend, and it was rejuvenating. I usually have to sit on my photos for a bit and let them digest, but this one slipped out, and actually, I’m not in love with it like I thought I would be. I usually open up Lightroom, mess with a few settings, …

winter blues
A week or so ago, during yet another day full of grey skies and flurries, I made my way out to the beach to see what there was to see. The truth is, I was just entirely too sick of sitting on my bike in front of the TV and pedaling squares, and I didn’t …
Fructose is Poison
I often dispense nutritional advice that I know is sound, yet fail to follow myself. Do as I say, not as I do. But this time I’m changing my food habits permanently. Let me explain. I still generally eat better than most people around me (especially my coworkers and roommates (SICK)), but there are enough …
Detroit Auto Show
I went to the Detroit Auto Show yesterday with Brad. I’ve only been to the Chicago Auto show before, so this was a new chance to gawk at brand new engineering and styling from a different and more “close to the source” setting. When I was younger, in the days before the internet brought all …
Hello World #2
It’s time to move on from blogging under pseudonyms (and using robots.txt) in the dark backwaters of the internet to something a little cleaner, more mature, and with better content in the posts. I’ve been debating with myself a lot about what topics to actually cover in future posts, but finally decided that it’s too …
