trying something new

Safari.

Yeah, a mac program on a PC. Well when 'they' said there was a new version of iTunes blah blah available and that now Safari was avail for windoz... well i figured why not. Lets give it a try.

First time in ages i've see any adds. Heck i didn't even know that Pioneer Reg dude put google ad stuff on his blog. Never saw it outside firefox with adblock and no-script. Craziness. It has the wonderful auto spell check I depend on in firefox and for some reason all the pictures and web pages look way better on here than the other place. Stuff pops now.

Very cool.

The last browser I've yet to test drive is Opera and yes, i know a handful of folks that swear it is THE best of the best.

one of these days i'll give it a try...

Ate my damn lunch already. Getting up an extra hour earlier kinda throws off the routine.

And still no KOB results. It is mid-day wed... and nothing is there, nothing is on the EFTA page, nothing is on the KOB page... soon though. Right? Soon? (Just waiting for someone to pull out the 'in the old days you had to wait for them to come in the mail if at all"). I keep refreshing BikeReg looking at the cycling results sidebar hoping to see a new entry for an April 6th race. The pincone that one of the JBs races is there now, Bethel is there, Army, Tyson's, Burnham... just no Burlingame.

No KOB results. But I still have about 1/2 of CX mag left to read over lunch (as i drink my black coffee bemoaning the fact that I ain't got no lunch left). Just finished BSNYC's little article.

Two words: FAHKIN BRILLIANT. Hysterical and brilliant. Okay that's a couple more. Cantis - thank Saint Sheldon above I was one of those bike mechanics who started the gig along side cantis... spending a good solid 10 years or more tweaking pad and cable angles before even the $200 bikes started coming with linear pull (and now I assume they have disc brakes - i've been out from the back room too long now to really 'know').

So before reading that I devoured the Christine related articles, the interview by New Belgium's (the region not the beer) own Litka, her interview with Bart (great stuff in there, really well crafted interview, esp given such short responses by bart). And her insightful write up "Belgium CX racing from the saddle of an American pro.

Kick ass job on the writing there, and Andrew and Crew, nice job securing the talents of CV for the mag. Nice.

Oh and if you haven't signed up and gotten your own personal subscription - DO IT.

And if you can't find the URL for any afore mentioned references, I'm sorry. Google is your friend if you haven't bookmarked anything.
