The ramblings of an engineer working for the Army to protect our men and women the world over.

How many???
How many different ways is this video wrong? Let me count them shall I?
1. Hipster glasses (black rimmed, and sort of thick Buddy Holly style).
2. No shirt.
3. He's indoors.
4. Messenger bag with all the accouterments (all of that crap hanging off of it).
5. Rollers.
6. Chopped bars with Oury grips (I hate that the hipsters discovered Oury grips about a million years after they came out on mountain bikes, you hipsters ruin everything, and you know who "you" are).
7. Helmet on his head (remember, he's inside trying to ride some rollers).
8. Improper bottom wear. Where are his capri pants and skinny jeans with a pegged leg?
9. And just overall, no sense of balance.
In hindsight, after watching the video, it's probably a GOOD thing he had his helmet on because there is no doubt he's an absolute moron who is lucky to remember to breathe during the course of a day. We don't want him to get any inner cranial bleeding or something like that, which would make his hipster condition worse. I long for the day when fixed gear bikes were for off season training, and NOT for riding to the coffee shop. And with that, I bring to you, the video that I'm bleating about above (see below).

Recently, made another move in my life. Moved from NC to NOVA to work for the Army. I've kicked around the automotive industry for about 14 years now, and grew to HATE it. And when I say, HATE, that's not a strong enough word really. I now am employed in a job that I love, working with people that I like, and providing a product that I think is important. I've sort of "found" my calling I believe, and have found purpose for my engineering skills. I'm still working some long hours, but now, I enjoy it, instead of dreading it. Isn't that what we all want in life?
