  1. Some of you may remember that last year I posted some videos from the
    local 'cross series (which, ahem, includes some serious, national-level
    racers, for what that's worth).

    This year, I'm at it again, and I've upgraded my computer (well, more
    memory and hard drive; same old Mac laptop otherwise) and the camera. I
    now need to upgrade the nut holding the camera. Nevertheless, you might
    like the results:

    Nice. I am amazed how tough the bikes have to be to endure one of these
    races.

    Bikes are plenty rugged, we just get in the habit of fussing over them. Almost
    any old road bike will do, you need a reasonably strong wheelset is all.

    Thanks for the link. I've forwarded it to my offspring who is going to give

  9. I'm almost sorry I canceled that dumbassed post. It IS a great song but
    it was a dumbassed question since it was answered merely by scrolling
    down the dumbassed web page a couple lines. But, on the RBR scale of
    dumbassery, it barely registers as pathetically dumbassed and it is at
    least not same old Joe King, Doped cyclist, Lafferty dumbassity.

    BTW, I did follow the links and pay the dumbass a dollar for his song.

    Yours Dumbassedly,

    Erm, I also credited the music in the opening credits.

    That said, Jonathan Coulton is a musical genius*. It is very likely I
    will set the rest of my videos this fall to his songs.

    I can't figure out a way to make sense of this song as a 'cross theme,
    but I still really like it:

    Damn, that was dumbassed.

    But a good dumbass brain-eating zombie song. I guess with zombies being called
    increasingly from the ranks of office workers and customer service reps it was
    inevitable.

    Yeah, but I cared so little then that I didn't even notice the credits.
    It was after I heard the song that I cared whose music it was. So I
    popped over here, asked the question, thought to go look at your page
    for clues, and found one.

    A little thought ahead of time would have prevented my posting. Pretty
    normal for me, actually. I'm not going to extend that any further.

    I think it works. "Love the things you try, drink a cocktail wear a tie
    Show a little grace if you should fall." Except for the tie, that's a
    pretty solid connection.

    Thanks for the JC links, I think I'll buy some more. Really good stuff.

    Dumbass: playing QB for Detroit is nothing to be proud of. Plimpton
    probably could have made their depth chart.

    But I'm a little surprised that his discovery of Sidd Finch didn't make
    it into the song.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Plimpton

    BTW, I'm now soliciting for songs for my next CX video, which will be
    filmed in a week and a bit. A Coulton song would be great, or else
    anything that is Creative Commonsed.

    Speaking of mountain bikes and 'cross in the same breath, is is legal to
    bunny-hop those barriers? Not saying I could, but I know some folk who
    could...
