Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

What band are you in? My friends play in a band and they've just started touring, there going out for a week and a half over winter break, not very far though.

Oh and to fit in here, College student. I study graphic design, but I'm starting to realize how much I dislike it, I'm pretty mediocre I think, I could be better if I tried harder, but my hearts not in it... I want to be involved in music journalism some how, there has to be a reason for my obsessive music listening and record buying.

I'm a technology specialist for a medical device company. Mostly neuro. I do installations, system qualification, training and in O.R. case support.

I also work with radiation surgery/therapy planning systems and hardware (Linear Accelerators).

Our stuff is used on the show T.V. House. Every time they're in the brain, it's our hardware you see on the patients head.
