Speed, Revolutionary, Crash and Burn

So DKT will be racing on the new Zipp Sub 9 Disc wheel this weekend at the US Open. Good Luck man. It will be cool to see his bike split and talk to him to see what he thought of it. Only a handful of people have ridded these suckers. Hey Timmer that thing has ceramic bearings and dimples.

Radiohead has their new album online (as long as the site stops crashing). Pay as little or as much as you want for it. Wonder how that will work out for them?

Bachelor party is this weekend and starts tomorrow. I may show up at Boom Island, but it will be on my way home from the bars. Heck maybe I'll sleep out there Saturday night. No matter how you slice it there will be no racing for me this weekend. Ray, I'll see you in the C race next Saturday and Sunday.

Silent Movies

So this morning I was half asleep on the bus ride to work and I starting dreaming/thinking about something, that if possible, I think would be pretty fun. A while back after the video of the Mpls. bridge collapse, I think Smither’s pondered the question if there is anything that happens in life that does not somehow get recorded to video. I mean just about anywhere you look, there is a camera recording your every move. Plus some people even get actual airtime on local news and stuff if they happen to get interviewed on the street, or happen to be in the crowd at some large event. So I was thinking that if you could somehow get all of the video clips that you were in, you could put them together to make a silent movie. It could either tell the true story of your life, or some fictional representation. I mean you would probably have to add some stuff to fill some gaps or to bolden the fictional storyline you were telling, but the possibilities would be endless. The story and genre of movie would all depend on how you pieced the clips together. Then if others had access to the clips, they could edit the sequence and make alternate versions of "your life". I don’t know it could be kinda fun to see how differently things could be portrayed.

Unrelated comment: Sometimes the bus is a pretty awesome thing. I mean this morning I got on was super tired. I sat down, basically fell asleep, and the next thing you know I’m sitting at my desk in front of the computer. I love riding and driving in to work too, but sometimes sleeping your way to work is WAY better.
