November 16, 2010
I wish this was a real, city backed, initiative. It’d cut my commute in half.

Lanterne Rouge
August 7, 2008
Kottke writes about the Lanterne Rouge, which is the unofficial award for last place in the Tour de France.
While it may not be the most coveted award in the sport, it nonetheless represents a significant achievement. Even to finish the race means that you have achieved more than 20 percent of all the other riders who drop out due to injury, fatigue or any of a number of other hurdles which abound in arguably the most grueling and punishing competition around.
All of which I guess is encouragement for not giving up. Even though you may come last, at least you were able to place at all.
Rodney Mullen
August 6, 2008
I caught the Action X Games recently and was absolutely stunned by the scale of it. I know it happens everyday but it just floors me to think how quickly the ‘anti-sport’ and counter culture that was skateboarding was so quickly co-opted by the mainstream. Anyways, enjoy a very young Rodney Mullen pulling tricks 20 years ago that haven’t been matched yet. via Supertouch
