making a mini exhibition

 ari makes a mini exhibition. so much more satisfying than a session on photoshop! the expense of photo paper these days make it a less frequent pleasure tho! but you could do this sort of thing with any endeavour

claire eleanor fergusson

 another one of these, like a breath of fresh air. i feel the lack of anyone left in my life like this!

bill mclintock

 every so often i realise i haven't listened to something by bill mclintock for a while. so here's this 

and here he is getting interviewed about it all 

filters

 an back to fiddling with filters. it's complicated-ish. here's a guide. 

my favourite april fool from this year

 it's a while since april 1st but this is brilliant

korg monologue

 i've finally dragged some of my old electronica out and my, but i'm rusty. the korg monologue is a great starter synth and here's a couple of vids that show how it work 

learning from mistakes

 useful

paris roubaix

 there's a ton of gear channels that'll go on and on and on and on about tyre pressures,  gearing and the like re paris roubaix but really, none of it has much to do with most cyclists. here's what happens when regular people do the cobbles, arno representing my body type, rob my heart rate! lol i laughed a lot, not least at their go to advice guy 

the flandrien challenge

it being the holy week of classics cycling what better way to kick back before/after the ronde than this. the flandrien challenge is definitely on my tick list of things to do but time is definitely running out as i want to do it on a proper bike, not an ebike, but equally not a modern bike. my modern bike, geared as it is for younger racers just wouldn't work for me but my old workhorse, once it's refurbed, will eat these hills. but not the cobbles - there's a lot of modern technology i'm neither here nor there about but fatter tyres is defintiely comfier and i hate a cobble! lol

i actually lost a friend over this trip a while back for, in his eyes, having the temerity to suggest he might want to do some proper training as the route isn't for the faint hearted. i was right then and watching this i feel even more right now. equally i do love the sight of those frituur. as does benji i reckon, who's representing those of us wiht a more normal body shape! patrick does very well but looks like his ageing process stalled at about 19!

entertaining vid. love the classics. love flanders. 

*at the time of writing i'm waiting for the ronde to start. given the weather and the crash at dwars earlier this week here's hoping that it's great racing and everyone gets thru without incident
