Images For Android Phones: A Light At The End Of The Hallway

the film rolls
in secrets
with shadows
taking their toll

a light
with no day
in dark corners
in which to play

alone
– afraid
stoned

at the end
of the hallway

suspended above
dream-like
tall and magnificent
in awe

i stand below
my bike and I
in the flow …

Heading north from downtown Greenville on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The SRT is an old railroad line. Now a crossway trail for bikes, runners etc. Here I am approaching The clock tower at Furman University with Paris Mountain in the background (a great place for mountain biking). At this point I am about 8 miles north of downtown Greenville.

Today was a beautiful day for biking here in Greenville, South Carolina. I am on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. This shot is in downtown Greenville at the Falls River Park.

I was wandering around on Tumblr yesterday (which is an excellent site for procrastination or time-wasting, by the way) and I came upon this infographic, “How a Book is Born”, originally created by Weldon Owen Publishing.

Of course, the graphic is all in jest, but it is one of those hilarious things you find on the Internet… and the reason for its hilarity is that it is true. There were a few pieces of the infographic that hit home with me.

“Somebody has an idea. > Person is Stephen King, Lady Gaga, or reality show star. > Book approved for press.”

Unfortunately, this is true. The bigger your fanbase, and the bigger your name, the more likely you are to be published, because the publisher wants to make money. And the bigger your name, the more money you can reel in. So basically, you have to have money to…

Images For Android Phones: Analog Design

Images For Android Phones: Analog Design

Years ago in the 1980’s, I explored some remote boundaries of electronic soundscapes. My first musical instrument was an Arp synthersizer. Pre-digital the Arp was a voltage controlled analog musical instrument capable of a variety of timbres and sounds.

The TT is one of the most dangerous races in the world. An exciting new film takes us there.

mattlomax's avatarlomaxbike

Just found this amazing trailer for a film released a couple of years ago! I dont know how I missed this but check it out!

By vividly recounting the TT’s legendary rivalries and the Isle of Man’s unique road racing history, this 3D feature documentary will discover why modern TT riders still risk their lives to win the world’s most dangerous race.

It features Guy Martin (of More Tea Vicar catchphrase fame who starred on his own tv series about building a narrow boat) – (bear with me)

The Film really does looks great – heres the trailer! Will let you know what the film was like when it comes in the post!
