I’ve recently moved from the Bay Area to Boulder to attend the Boulder Digital Works graduate program at the University of Colorado. BDW’s project-based curriculum combines web technology, design, strategy, and business — and will allow me to continue working with clients.

I’ve been in Boulder for a couple weeks now and still haven’t found time to really collect my thoughts about the move and start of my grad program at Boulder Digital Works. But I did come across a neat site called Wordle that created this “word cloud” from the 6100+ words I wrote for the 2011 Zipp catalog.

I’ve had this new Franco Balcom frameset for a couple months now, and just recently finished building it up with a new SRAM RED group and Zipp 101 wheelset. It’s fast, it fits, and it looks cool. What more can you ask for?

I’ve finally had a bit of time to pare 10 days on the road down to 65 photos from the 2010 Amgen Tour of California. Enjoy!

Hard. Skinny. Lightweight. Minimalist. These terms describe neither my butt nor anything on which I’d prefer to sit. So the recent trend towards saddles that look like miniature Star Wars ships has left me shaking my head. Fortunately, both Selle Italia and Selle San Marco have heeded the call of cycling’s collective consciousness that harkens back to the days before power meters, when doping was called “preparation” and saddles were built like furniture.

A year ago today was the last stage of the Tour of California. 100 miles up and over Mt. Palomar. The final act of 9 grueling days on the road. The experienced challenged me in more significant ways than I’d expected. But it was an adventure, and those are always to be relished.

When it comes to mid-ride inflation, you’ve got three options: a frame pump, CO2, or a mini pump. In my opinion, the frame pump is the all-around best tool for the job and it actually makes me a little sad to see how few people still ride with one. I’d even go so far as to say that the frame pump reflects humility and functionality in cycling culture. Maybe I’m reading too much into this.

You might be surprised to learn that this was my first year visiting the Outdoor Demo at Interbike. As many have noted, the nature of Interbike is changing as large and medium-size brands pull up stakes. For me at least, this made it even more important to check out the Demo this year in order to see the likes of Trek, Felt, Specialized, Cannondale, etc. I found that it was kind of like Sea Otter, but without the 15-year-olds. And I went mountain biking!

I’m not exactly a daily blogger, but a gap of two-plus weeks since my last post is a bit much even by my standards. Things have been crazy busy but are now settling down slightly, so I figured I’d take this opportunity to share the recent goings-on at Kadisco. Big Project #1 that recently wrapped up was copywriting for Zipp’s 2010 catalog. Big Project #2 has been taking over online and offline marketing and communications for the North American Handmade Bicycle Show.
