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)

they have apple care plus now which covers up to (i think) 2 instances of idiot damage including water damage. it's like an extra $50 over regular apple care.

Today I'm under 130 lbs for the first time in nearly 20 years. I weighed myself stripped after a brisk 20 mile ride on an empty stomach after taking one more decisive poop, and saw just under 130 lbs on my scale. I've been working on this goal over the past 4 months, since letting my weight get up well over 140 lbs, which is way too fat for someone my height. To get here, I've cut down drastically on caloric intake and no beer. I feel great now and it's nice to be able to fit in my clothes again.

Thanks for the giggle, having kids I never get enough poop stories.

And congrats, no beer intake is a feat in itself!

Nice grab. I still have my T2i (gave my mom my XTi), I love canon cameras. I also picked up a G15 for when I am going someplace but don't want to bring an DSLR & the phone won't suffice.

right on. It was on sale in anticipation for the 70d release so the price was right. The g15 looks like a pretty nice point and shoot.. I might have spring for something similar when the dslr becomes unwieldy, but for now it's great!

I thought screaming doesn't put out fires. Yet the video was uploaded so the girl must be okay and screaming must've put out the fire on her yoga pants.

whenever i see videos like this i always think to myself
"why the **** do people videotape themselves doing stupid **** like this, much less post it on the interworld for everyone to see?"

i also dont understand why shaking your ass has to have some idiotic name that was most likely though up by some idiot hopped up on cough syrup

Twerk Miley, Miley, Twerk!

I enjoy the fact that her initial reaction was to sit on a flammable couch while on fire rather than stop, drop, and roll.

Also, regarding Canon, I'm still rocking the 20D! Good stuff! Too bad it's worth like $50 now.
