Hegseth is already a self-inflicted skateboard nut-shot victim on TV. Maybe this year he can get too close to a turkey fryer around Thanksgiving and burn off the family jewels on TV.

Can’t complain!

I spoked too soon!

First time Ive broken a spoke, and it was at the hub, of all places. Gonna order a few replacement spokes because I still love these wheels.

Broken drive side spoke on the rear wheel of my Schwinn Crosscut

The rain kept me from riding my bike today, but it finally got me to lace up a new rear wheel for my Bombora. Now I just need to tension/true/dish/tape, and I’ll be back on my daily driver!

My little brother had this game on the Playstation and I played the hell out of it. I also credit Underworld’s track (“Pearl’s Girl (Tin There)") with planting the seed of what grew into my enjoyment of electronic music: kottke.org/26/11/004…

Reeeeaaaally hate the phrase “junk miles” for any cyclist other than folks that are specifically training for something (pro or otherwise). If the miles are junk instead of fun, you’re doing it wrong :-P

New dessert vending machine from Shyndigz is a winner:

Hey, look at that—I’m 45 years old now!

I think Alex Melton has seriously outdone himself with his cover of “Golden”. It was already one of the most rhythmically, melodically, and harmonically awesome pop songs in recent memory. And he’s turned it into an equally amazing rock anthem: youtu.be/HXDYkCWsY…

Is today the best weather of 2026?

Not fully awake, but I still voted! And they had some of the excellent possum stickers at my precinct!

First time I got a perfect score at any difficult level!

Saw a 15-foot skeleton on my ride this afternoon all dressed up as Dr. Frank-N-Furter. It was glorious.

Weather like this makes me wish I had no obligations so I could ride my bike all day.

Trying out Chromagraph, a new camera app from @rianjohnson.bsky.social and Steve Yedlin. Very promising for a first release!

I love my dumb little Schwinn Crosscut-turned-chubby tire road bike so much that I want to upgrade it eventually. Thomson seat post. Fancy crankset. Velocity wheels and a front dynamo. Some day. It’s already one of my best, most fun builds ever and has over 650 miles on it.

Population: me.

Here’s a really fun video of some fellas riding through the history of #bikes in America along the Great Allegheny Passage:

Rewatched Speed with my wife. That movie has some of the dumbest dialogue and character decision making I’ve ever seen and I loved the hell out of watching it. Canonical “big dumb fun” movie.

That’s a spicy smush!
