Profile

Where I Live:

About Me:: Born in Colorado, grew up Silicon Valley, spent a year in
Amsterdam, a few formative months in Prague, and nine years in Oakland.

In 2004 I finally found a place I truly call home - New Mexico.

I wear only black and am healthily obsessed with:
Coffee
Cycling
Cinema
Chuck Palahniuk

I'm unhealthily obsessed with consumer electronics, especially small shiny ones.

For the bike geeks out there here is my humble quiver:
'05 Bianchi Imola
'07 Gary Fisher Paragon (29er)
'08 Bianchi San Jose (setup fixed of course)
'07 Electra Amsterdam (ok, this is really my wifes, but damn is that a sexy bike)
'86 Specialized Rockhopper

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: Only posers here feel any need to "keep up with the Joneses". As a former SF Bay Area IT Yuppie that is so goddamn refreshing...

Relationship Status:: Married

What I'm Reading:: Nothing at all. It is a complete shame too as a good friend has lent me "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy for almost an entire year now. It sounds right up my alley, yet I just don't find much time to read anymore (or more precisely, I don't make time).

What I'm Listening To:: Dissodent Jazz, the kind my father hates...

Spinning Like Mad...

Some local fixed gear freestylers posted this video on Youtube which somehow escaped my attention until just now. It isn't earth shattering, or particularly exciting (though there is a fun bit at about 3:01), however it amuses me to no end because it is of my daily commute. It starts about a mile into the exact ride I make every morning into the office and ends at the Plaza same as my commute.

That's the Sunday after the Finn concert (ancient head pounding) - sounds marvelous.
What bike should I ride, for your drooling purposes? Batavus or Peugeot?
Time to take orders for Javaanse Jongens again, too.
