Hacksaw Jim Duggan styles
In case you missed my guest appearance last week on DJ Buddy TV, here it is. The show has improved considerably since I last rolled through (multiple camera angles and effects, a Buddy TV "crew") and it looks to keep getting better.
For the finale, DJ Buddy and I rocked a 2x4 set (for the uninitiated, that's 2 DJs on 4 turntables) and while I've never really done one, Buddy quarterbacked it like a pro.
Once again, thanks to DJ Buddy and everyone else (Ms. Geeah, Jbr0ski, and Ab-Loon). See ya'll at the Mini Mix Anniversary Masquerade!

It's in my nature - I can't just leave well enough alone. I've always got to put my own signature twist on things and the new whipper is no exception.
Thanks PedalMafia
Target completion date: Spring 2010
Velocity B43 wheels (Time Attack'd rear tire)
FSA crankset
Chris King headset
Selle Italia CX Zero saddle
Carbon Fiber Aero seatpost
Carbon Fiber stem
Then I'll be all done. I think. No promises.

The 12 Type of Facebook-ers
Here are 12 of the most annoying types of Facebook users (which one are you?):
The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore:
"I'm waking up." "I had Wheaties for breakfast." "I'm bored at work." "I'm stuck in traffic." You're kidding! How fascinating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast unsolicited to the world. Just because you have 432 Facebook friends doesn't mean we all want to know when you're waiting for the bus.
The Self-Promoter:
OK, so we've probably all posted at least once about some achievement. And sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about beet farming. But when almost EVERY update is a link to your blog, your poetry reading, your 10k results or your art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist.
The Friend-Padder:
The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies -- you know, the ones who make lifelong pals on the subway -- might reasonably have 300 or 400. But 1,000 "friends?" Unless you're George Clooney or just won the lottery, no one has that many. That's just showing off.
The Town Crier:
"Michael Jackson is dead!!!" You heard it from me first! Me, and the 213,000 other people who all saw it on TMZ. These Matt Drudge wannabes are the reason many of us learn of breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo. No, Jeff Goldblum did not plunge to his death from a New Zealand cliff.
The TMIer:
"Brad is heading to Walgreens to buy something for these pesky hemorrhoids." Boundaries of privacy and decorum don't seem to exist for these too-much-information updaters, who unabashedly offer up details about their sex lives, marital troubles and bodily functions. Thanks for sharing.
The Bad Grammarian:
"So sad about Fara Fauset but Im so gladd its friday yippe". Yes, I know the punctuation rules are different in the digital world. And, no, no one likes a spelling-Nazi schoolmarm. But you sound like a moron.
The Sympathy-Baiter:
"Barbara is feeling sad today." "Man, am I glad that's over." "Jim could really use some good news about now." Like anglers hunting for fish, these sad sacks cast out their hooks -- baited with vague tales of woe -- in the hopes of landing concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention.
The Lurker:
The Peeping Toms of Facebook, these voyeurs are too cautious, or maybe too lazy, to update their status or write on your wall. But once in a while, you'll be talking to them and they'll mention something you posted, so you know they're on your page, hiding in the shadows. It's just a little creepy.
The Crank:
These curmudgeons, like the trolls who spew hate in blog comments, never met something they couldn't complain about. "Carl isn't really that impressed with idiots who don't realize how idiotic they are." [Actual status update.] Keep spreading the love.
The Paparazzo:
Ever visit your Facebook page and discover that someone's posted a photo of you from last weekend's party -- a photo you didn't authorize and haven't even seen? You'd really rather not have to explain to your mom why you were leering like a drunken hyena and French-kissing a bottle of Jagermeister.
The Obscurist:
"If not now then when?" "You'll see..." "Grist for the mill." "John is, small world." "Dave thought he was immune, but no. No, he is not." [Actual status updates, all.] Sorry, but you're not being mysterious -- just nonsensical.
The Chronic Inviter:
"Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which 'Star Trek' character are you? Here are the 'Top 5 cars I have personally owned.' Here are '25 Things About Me.' Here's a drink. What drink are you? We're related! I took the 'What President Are You?' quiz and found out I'm Millard Fillmore! What president are you?"
You probably mean well, but stop. Just stop. I don't care what president I am -- can't we simply be friends? Now excuse me while I go post the link to this story on my Facebook page.

Introducing Darth Maul
The Felt TK3. It's finally mine.
Remember that scene in Back To The Future 2 where Marty tries to give back the pink Hoverboard to the little girl and she replies "Keep it, I've got a Pitbull now!"?
That's exactly what this bike reminds of. That and Darth Maul.
Carbon fiber forks!
Rear-wheel cutout, on some urban-velodrome steez.
High-res photoshoot after I throw on some new wheels and more CF goodness. Check back soon!

A Cause For Effect
Friday, October 30, 2009: Save the date because I'll be participating in a special Halloween event going down at Aqua Lounge in Beverly Hills!
It's the Mini Mix Anniversary Masquerade and it marks the one year anniversary of the weekly mixes by DJ Buddy. Live performances, DJs, and costumes - is there anything else you need for a helluva Halloween party?!
What's the Mini Mix, you ask? Breaking new music as well as reinvigorating the classics, the Mini Mixes serve to educate and entertain through intelligent selection and creative themes, all for the recession friendly price of Free-99! It's his gift to the masses - Play It Forward, so to speak.
But I digress...
It gets even better - no Hollywood bull-ish will be flexed at this event. That means: no guestlist, no lines, no cover charge. First come, first served so get there early! Don't blame me when you roll up at midnight and we're all out of Grey Goose and King-sized Kit Kats.
And the best part? All proceeds from this event will go towards aid for the displaced victims of Typhoon Ondoy in the Philippines. F*ck all that Twibbon nonsense and get involved on a level that will actually materialize into help for those that truly need it at this time.
For more event info as well as a full artist and DJ lineup, check out the official site of MMAM here.
So mark your calendar, start costume shopping, and prepare your liver! This night will be official and I hope to see you there!

Decisions, Decisions...
Yup, I'm finna get my Lance Armstrong on.
After months of research, I've narrowed it down to three bikes: The Giant Bowery Mashup, the Motobecane Team Track, and the Felt TK3.
The Giant and Moto are slightly cheaper but all I can think about is carbon fiber and time attack-ing the shit out of the TK3! I will say though, that the Moto has now got me wondering if I should pull the trigger on the TK3 (damnit Troy!). I can't !@#$%-ing decide!
Honorable mentions:
Specialized Roll 1
Fuji Track Comp
Stay tuned for my final decision and debut in the Tour De San Fernando Valley.
