Another quick shot from the first day out.

Obsession

You know you've got the bug when you start doing quick doodles everywhere . . .

First Ride of 2011

Great to be back out on the bike. Short ride today, felt great.

Ride Fast - Zombies!

HTTP://WWW.ZOMBIECOMMUTE.COM O.k., a little bit of a shameless plug, at work a few of us started messing with the iPhone location services and decided to throw up something as a test. It's not an action packed shoot 'em up or anything but it's a little augmented reality/simulation of Zombies that chase after you. We're still working at it, it definately could use some more "bells and whistles", but hey, we all ride and use our GPS sometimes, so we thought it would be fun to add a little twist to things. Please do me a favor click here and check it out www.zombiecommute.com. Thanks!

It's time

Fired up the bike for the first ride of the season! It's going to be a good one.

Help Japan.

Shawn from Imperial House sent me this. Help Japan. Shawns words: "I have had the situation in Japan on my mind, as I am sure many others have. In talking about the devastation with others, it became painfully obvious that a lot of people really want to help but they have no surety of how or to whom they should direct their contributions. So, with that being said, I set out to create this original painting, using water color and one shot. As clearly depicted in this print, the red circle of Japan’s flag, (which is historically symbolic of the sun; warmth, and brightness) is being overtaken by the cracks from the outer edge of the print, (representative of the 9.0 earthquake that triggered the devastating tsunami.) With the final touch being the single tear falling from the heart of a country as a silent cry for help. The goal in creating this painting was to put together a striking image that would help keep the plight in Japan at the forefront of our minds, while also creating an avenue for people to donate to help Japan. With the help of C & C Quality Printing, Inc., I will be offering high quality, signed and numbered, 15” x 20”, limited edition prints. These prints are available for a minimum donation of $20 and will ship within 2 weeks of donations being placed. ALL proceeds will be going to a program named “Socks for Japan”, and the Japanese Red Cross Society. To make a donation, or for more information, go to www.imperialhouse71.com or contact Shawn Long directly."

Great minds think alike . . .

. . . or we're all just obsessed with our bikes! Milo at 45 CHOP dropped the Hand Shifter pin from Magnetozoo into a shifter knob. Me and Jason were about to do the same. I wonder how many others have done so too. Looks great!
