Last day at the Allied Box Factory

Last day at the Allied Box Factory

Working from home sounds great, but you have to have a home. If all you have is a San Francisco-size bedroom and a living room that you share with roommates, it doesn’t work so well. That’s why I decided four years ago to rent a desk space from Monte Stott & Associates in the former Allied Box Factory. Since then, I’ve come to work every day in a beautiful space with great friends.

ATOC wrap-up, part 1

Physically and mentally, last week was probably the most challenging of my career, and I’m still processing all my impressions from the race. In the meantime, here are a few more images and an excerpt of my final report for the MASH x Incase blog. To see more of what I saw, you can check out my Flickr album and my photos and videos for Zipp (2/16-22), featuring interviews with Carlos Sastre and Thor Hushovd.

Solvang ‘n’ stuff

Yesterday was amazing, with great access to three of the best teams in the world: Cervelo TestTeam, Astana, and Garmin-Slipstream. I got to interview Carlos Sastre inside the Cervelo bus, shoot close-ups of Jani Brajkovic warming up on Zipp’s aero crankset, and just wander through the Garmin-Slipstream area in the morning before bringing the MASH [...]

Too tired to say much of anything, but here are some photos from the last few days with Zipp and MASH. All my photos from this trip are here on Flickr.

Kadisco at the Tour of California

This is going to be a busy week for me with a several hats to juggle and lots of text, photo and video content to create. First, I’m on the road with MASH all week. We’re riding all the Tour of California courses from start to finish on track bikes. I’ll also be producing some web content for Zipp around their pro teams, Cervelo Test Team and Garmin-Slipstream. I’ll be talking to riders, directors, and mechanics about what wheels they’ll be riding on different stages, and what factors go into those choices.

Kadisco-approved Wordpress themes

In addition to the recent redesign of my own site, I’m also working on a demo online magazine to show some people at the Tour of California. Both are built on the Wordpress platform, so I’ve looked at literally hundreds of themes between the two projects. Here are the two I’ve settled on…

New www.kadisco.com in alpha

This site has served me well, but it’s a very basic blog look and I’d like something more modern with room to highlight pages like my portfolio. Towards that end, I’ve looked at a million Wordpress themes over the last week and settled on The Morning After. With a few tweaks, the new www.kadisco.com will [...]

3 Days of Pescadero

I spent Saturday, Sunday, and Monday on the bike with Eric and Mattias. We rode from Oakland to Pescadero, spent one night at a cabin and one night at Pigeon Point, then rode back to San Mateo. More photos here on Flickr.

Customer service, Twitter-style

Having sold my beloved Ford Focus ZX5 in February, Kadisco’s 4-wheeled transportation needs fall to Zipcar. I rarely need to use a motorized vehicle, so pay-by-the-hour carsharing works out great (although it is a bit stressful to always be in a hurry to return the car on time). Anyways, the car that I reserved Monday [...]
