Where have i been!? Online, offline.

Online: What happened is that i got sucked into http://reddit.com, which is full of politics and i became very cynical/depressed about the chances for this country, my wife pointed this out to me, that although i now actually knew who karl rove was, that i was not the better for it. It is a difficult thing to balance staying informed of the current world and staying enthusiastic about making better, it was very easy to get sucked in, to get out i had to simply stop reading it. I actually now still read it, but just for the funnies, i skip the "bush did this WTF" sensational tag lines.

Offline: Biking, my new obsession has become biking (don't worry still obsessed with sound and studio lighting) i've pimped out my bike with clipless pedals + shoes + cleats, a trunk, pro-bar tape, bike computer, sport gel seat, gloves, tuning. Broke my top speed record at the green lake WI Baha'i conference by going 37.6mph following baseem. I've biked to work (3.7mi) everyday for the past 3months. I don't know if i'm in shape yet, but i feel pretty good, my blood pressure is down, my mood is more stable, my weight hasn't changed but i'm a little more stable. The only issue i have now with biking is my hands go numb, i've tried several things (gloves, changing positions, seat height, using core body..) i raised the bas a little today, hopefully that will make a little difference.

I made a new portrait soft box, its 2 feet by 6 feet so it, i'll try and make a write up for it soon.

here is some funny stuff:
