This truck is phenomenal. There's so much pure awesomeness here it's hard to capture with a single photo, but I had to try. The stars-n-bars, the "CHICK MAGNET" stencil, the "Danger Ranger / Stay Back" spray... You can see all of those. You c...

nobody@vox.com(eric) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 00:10:29 -0700

So things are getting somewhat better as I heal up. As you can see, I'm not quite so hamburger-ized this week: But I also got this hard cast on yesterday which, while it's definitely a stylin' shade of blue, is not removable like my hospital s...

nobody@vox.com(eric) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 18:28:55 -0800

I haven't been bike-blogging a lot lately, but it's not because I'm not biking. I forgot the 11,000 miles odometer post and now I'm at 11,312. Here's my Jamis rigged for full California winter commuting (HID, fenders, waterproof Delta pannier): ...
