It includes one link for ordering hard copies and another for downloading a scanned version in CBZ format.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-11-26:/nightwight/" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>I am not gay.tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-11-02:/widestance/2007-11-02T14:54:59.1093750-04:00Here's a little web page showing the construction process and finished result of this year's Halloween costume. It wasn't very sturdy, but people seemed to like it. <br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-11-02:/widestance/" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>The Re-Uptag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-10-18:/chair/2007-10-18T15:14:19.2031250-04:00I've been spending most of my "project" time on my Halloween costume lately, but I took a long lunch break today to try to reupholster the desk chair that my cats have been working so hard to destroy. It was a lot harder than I thought, and the results are less than impressive, but I've gone and posted some before and after shots nevertheless.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-10-18:/chair/" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Kite Parachutetag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-09-04:/parachute/2007-09-04T19:09:16.7968750-04:00On Labor Day, Peter and I tried to put together a small parachute that could run up a kitestring and then float down. It took a couple tries before it worked like we wanted, but it did work! I put together a little page describing our trial-and-error process and then a few pictures of a new design I threw together today.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-09-04:/parachute/" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>To hell in a bike baskettag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-08-16:/newbike/index.html/basket2007-09-04T16:17:46.0937500-04:00I got a front basket for my new bike, but it ended up not working.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-08-16:/newbike/index.html/basket" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>My Bike's Done!tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-08-05:/newbike/2007-08-05T13:54:49.0312500-04:00So awesome.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-08-05:/newbike/" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Wheels Donetag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-08-01:/newbike/index.html/wheels2007-08-01T08:51:19.1406250-04:00I had one wheel all finished up when I went out last night, and then finished truing the rear one after I came back.

The rear hub I found on Craigslist took 36 spokes, so I went with 32 up front.

I honestly don't think there's much of an audience for this, but maybe it will provide an outlet for me before I lose too many of my friends by boring them with baseball talk. Oh, and I also invented a really hilarious way of spelling "newbie."<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:baseballn00b.blogspot.com,2007-07-10:/" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>My Next Biketag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-07-06:/newbike/2007-07-06T15:45:19.5000000-04:00My new IRO frameset arrived today!

I also added a link to my <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/tps12/">flickr</a> account. Recent photos include a few shots from the Montauk Century bike ride and then some from hanging out with Kate and Peter last weekend in Coney Island, in the <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/tps12/sets/72157600004347183/">Bike Rides set</a>, and then a couple from Max's Sunday afternoon barbecue as well as from the Brooklyn Cyclones' season opener last night in <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/tps12/sets/72157594482997886/">The Hang Zone</a>.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-06-20:/" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>My Presidenttag:tps12.freeshell.org,2007-05-26:/music/Trevor%20-%20My%20President.mp32007-05-26T08:01:11.0156250-04:00I laid down my latest Blundabuss joint.

It took me a day over two weeks to get the miles, well over my goal of one week. Next time!<br /><br />I also updated the <a href="http://tps12.50webs.com/pinball.html">pinball map</a> to include some recent changes. alt.coffee is no more, Motor City has had Twilight Zone for a minute, and I guess 7A has a semi-busted WPT.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-26:/bike/index.html/saddle" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-19:/bike/index.html2007-04-19T10:29:20.7500000-04:00I was really hoping to get in 22 miles yesterday to finish up my 200 mile break-in period within two weeks. I came close, but rush hour traffic slowed me down, and I didn't get as far up Manhattan as I'd wanted. I did get to climb the Queensboro from the other side, which was crazy. Free rum and free pizza also figured prominently in this evening.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-19:/bike/index.html" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Jaunttag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-18:/bike/index.html/saddle2007-04-18T08:30:29.3593750-04:00Last night I took a quick ride up to the LES for a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tausig-Interplanetary-Puzzling-Peace-Patrol/dp/0974131946/">book</a> release party (or whatever you call it). It was fun.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-18:/bike/index.html/saddle" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-16:/bike/index.html/saddle2007-04-16T21:21:39.0312500-04:00It was supposed to rain all day to day, and it sort of did, but had stopped by the time work was over. So instead of doing cardio at the gym I took a ride around Northern Brooklyn. Not only did I plan out the stupidest route, hitting every bombed-out, car-filled street in the borough, but I also got lost like eight times. Never did rain on me though.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-16:/bike/index.html/saddle" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridestag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-14:/bike/index.html/saddle2007-04-14T18:40:30.4218750-04:00Really nice day for some bicycling. This morning I went over to the Brooklyn Museum to check out their new feminist art center. I had planned to meet friend Peter for a ride around Brooklyn, but had to go home first for a quick costume change as I was overdressed for the weather. We had a good ride along the water and even got to explore some of Breezy Point (nullus).<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-14:/bike/index.html/saddle" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>"Ass Revolution" mp3tag:tps12.freeshell.org,2007-04-12:/music/Trevor%20-%20Ass%20Revolution.mp32007-04-12T13:13:18.7500000-04:00I forgot that I'd never gotten around to posting this mp3.

Sadly, it was hailing by the time the opera got out. Today's weather was even worse. I had almost decided to put off my errands until tomorrow, but then the rain let up just for a moment, and I got soaked. I picked something up in Fort Greene and then dropped off friend Andrew's taxes at the post office. Stupidly, my routes yesterday and today are very similar...if I had any sense, I would have incorporated it all on Friday. All swell that end swell, I suppose.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-12:/bike/index.html/saddle" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridestag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-10:/bike/index.html/saddle2007-04-10T15:29:44.2812500-04:00I did a little cycling on Sunday, and then took my bike down to Jersey by train for work yesterday. I got a little lost in the morning, and then had too many drinks at Gabe and Jenny's show last night, and crashed at friend Dmitry's house, returning this morning.<br /><br />It's looking increasingly unlikely that I'll come very close to hitting my 200 mile target by Thursday. I really needed to have done a second longer ride over the long weekend to put me in striking distance of that goal, and I just ended up partying too much for it to happen. In any case, I'll keep on recording my rides until I hit deuce hundred and my seat is officially broken in. It's already feeling pretty great, by the way.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-10:/bike/index.html/saddle" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-08:/bike/index.html/saddle2007-04-08T04:00:14.1093750-04:00My boy Dmitry and I went up to PS1, then hung out with friends Andrew and Dorothy, got some foods, some drank in Greenpoint, and then rode home. I'm about a third through the breaking-in process, so when I got home I decided to proofide the whip.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-08:/bike/index.html/saddle" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridestag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-07:/bike/index.html/saddle2007-04-07T03:42:59.2812500-04:00On my Good Friday off, I went up to Central Park via Queens and did one lap alone and one with Andrew on a break from work, then came home down the greenway. The Queensboro Bridge is my new favorite...rising up over the projects and then running alongside the tram and descending into the city...mind-blowing. I have some other thoughts about what it's like to live around here, immersed in these amazing sights, but it all boiled down to "only in New York!" so never mind.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-07:/bike/index.html/saddle" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-06:/bike/index.html/saddle2007-04-06T14:34:31.8750000-04:00Last night I went up to midtown to meet friend Gabe for an event at the Museum of Television and Radio. It was fun, and I had some extra time beforehand to do kind of a scenic route. It was damn windy, but I put in almost 22 miles.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2007-04-06:/bike/index.html/saddle" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>New Saddle2007-04-04T22:48:13.3125000-04:00I got a new leathern bicycle chair.

On Friday I went into the city for a drink, and then out to Bushwick for a party and back home (that last leg should probably have been on the train, but I was in my cups and would not be talked out of riding by my friends, who really put up with a lot of my nonsense now and again), saving a total of $6 on subway rides. And tonight I went up to Williamsburg for dinner, for a $4 savings. With that, I've covered the $95 my bike initially cost, in just under two months. I can't believe it took this long to start cycling after my last bike was stolen, especially once I moved to Brooklyn. It's pretty unsettling to think about how much extra dollars I'd have right now had I been biking from the get-go.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-11-19:/bike/index.html/money" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-11-15:/bike/index.html/money2006-11-15T08:18:55.2343750-05:00After work yesterday I went into the city and got some shoes. My friend Peter told me a place to check out and it was very cool. I ended up with slip-ons, which is not my usual gig, but I think I'm happy. In any case, I'll probably be back. Saved $4 subway fare, bringing me down to within single digits of my bike paying for itself. Should make it by the 2-month mark.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-11-15:/bike/index.html/money" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Rainy Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-11-14:/bike/index.html/money2006-11-14T01:40:38.8750000-05:00Just got back from going to see Joanna Newsom at Webster Hall. Good show: she played all five songs off her [hour+] new album, plus four songs from her first album and a Scots folk song. Amazing her voice can do that, especially considering it was her second show today. One of my friends who went with me was also a pretty big fan, so that was fun. I didn't get too wet until the ride back, but taking the train would not have been a terrible idea. Still, saved four buxx.<br /><br />After careful consideration, I have removed the entry for avoiding a $2 ticket surcharge by riding to Dumbo. That was bogus and not in the spirit of this accounting.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-11-14:/bike/index.html/money" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-11-12:/bike/index.html/money2006-11-12T15:13:28.1562500-05:00On Friday one of my friends had a birthday party at Botanica in the city. So I saved $4 subway fare riding over there. Last night I went to another birthday party, this one in Fort Greene. It's technically train-able, but it was a warm night and I probably would have just walked.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-11-12:/bike/index.html/money" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-11-07:/bike/index.html/money2006-11-07T08:25:50.3437500-05:00Last night I went up to the East Village to see this week's Gabe and Jenny show at Rififi.

I hadn't seen him before and it was very funny. Kristen Schaal in particular was hilarious, and repeated none of her set from Variety SHAC, which is damned impressive considering she also must be writing stuff constantly for her own show. Pre-bike I probably would have taken the bus over and walked back, so I'm calling it a $2 savings.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-10-25:/bike/index.html/money" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-10-20:/bike/index.html/money2006-10-20T08:58:19.0937500-04:00I took a nap after work and then went into the city to see a concert.

Not trying to buy, just getting a feel for what's on the market. This wouldn't count as a money-saving trip (since I wouldn't be shopping for bike accessories if I didn't have a bike), but I met up with my boys and had a short meeting of <a href="http://groups.myspace.com/ourbikegang">our gang</a> and then dinner, so I'm counting it.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-10-19:/bike/index.html/money" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-10-17:/bike/index.html/money2006-10-17T09:02:55.4218750-04:00Some friends were eating in the East Village and I drove in to meet them afterwards for wine and dessert. It was pretty late, but I had gotten a lot of sleep Sunday so I had energy to burn. Technically, that may have qualified it as a trip I otherwise would not have made, but I've made latish forays into the city via subway in the past, so I'm calling it $4 saved on train fare.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-10-17:/bike/index.html/money" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Bike Ridetag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-10-15:/bike/index.html/money2006-10-15T11:58:14.4843750-04:00On Friday I went to the East Village and met up with a friend from back home and some of my other friends and we had some drinks. I saved $4 on round-trip subway fare.<br /><br />After just three weeks or so, this also marks the halfway point: my bike's saved me more than half of what it cost me. The weather's also starting to get colder, though, so it may be more than three weeks before it pays for itself completely.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-10-15:/bike/index.html/money" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Icons and Commentstag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-10-12:/2006-10-13T09:57:06.8200000-04:00I whipped up a favicon and figured out how to put comments on feed items, I think.<br /><br /><a href="http://haloscan.com/comments/tps12/tag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-10-12:/" title="Read and post comments">Comments</a>Comments and Feed Stylesheettag:tps12.50webs.com,2006-10-11:/2006-10-11T15:13:42.6875000-04:00I added HaloScan comments to the various sub-pages here (not index.html, but all the others).

Good show, despite too many sing-alongers in the young crowd. Played just about the whole album plus five or six new songs, at least one of which I was definitely feeling.

I would have walked between them, so that just saved me $4 round-trip subway fare.
