Really good to see someone smart and responsible about it. I always look forward to your posts. That video is stellar too. Great quality.

Thanks and thanks. We've been slacking on our media since moving to NYC, but we're finally getting back around to it. That was the first video I've ever actually finished editing, glad to hear you enjoyed it :)

That's some Road Warrior poo poo there. Only a top speed of 20 kph(12 mph), but when all you wanna do is get out of the desert, i'm sure those little details don't matter much.

This came into work today. The seconds hand is the striped dot in the middle. I was surprised to find a rather nice ETA 2824 movement inside, I was expecting a pin-lever. We also just finished up a neat corvette watch, and my boss has a Chevy Watch up on ebay (10 grand if you really want it.)

Kind of late. I was with my girlfriend and a friend of mine. Mine friend of mine was begging to drive my scooter. So I let him. He goes whizzing by (at speeds much slower than id be going mind you.) and in that instant I knew... this is why my girlfriend went out with me. Looks so badass to see your bike flyby.

Of the 20ish people gathered where he walked through the wall, not a person said a word to him. It was kind of eerie...

If I'd had a CLUE who he was, or how he was doing in the race I might have given him a pat on the back or something.
