Back to Long-Play Format?
Because I am feeling a desire for somewhat longer-format posts - although most of it will still be the ephemera that currently stokes the BB fire - I’m thinking of heading back to Wordpress for a while. So, if you are so inclined, keep up with me there:

I want someone to copy this jersey in merino wool with a few stretchy panels. Seriously - this would be awesome.

Not that it took particular genius to call this, but did I not predict way back when that Sky’s acquisition of “Wiggo” wasn’t likely to pan out? Again, the parallels with the perennial-hope Chris Boardman are hard to overlook…

Robert Reich: Slouching Toward a Double Dip or a Lousy Recovery at Best »
Watching the wind (not that it was ever powerful) go out of the sails of the mainstream liberal folks who held some hope for a stimulus-driven recovery is getting a bit depressing. I like how Reich labels the state-level budget apocalypses of the coming two years as the “anti-stimulus” (and then some).

I know this sounds like an exaggeration, but I seriously was waiting this week to see the Readers’ Comments section on this NY Times Magazine piece on M.I.A. Comments such as this one made it all worthwhile!
They released the piece earlier this week and I read a bit, until I got bored. Do I need another illustration that the best way to “make it” in the music biz (read: anywhere in the arts) is to marry into old money?

Does it not seem like the Cervelo rider on the front is riding a bike that is something like 3 sizes too small? It’s like the same bike as Sastre’s (behind him), but the dude is like 6 feet tall.
