Forget about Godzilla vs. King Kong. The new behemoth conflict is Shimano vs. SRAM. #BikeSky

Copenhill, the trash-to-energy power plant in Copenhagen that also serves as a year-round ski slope (with synthetic grass surface), a running/hiking training hill in an otherwise flat region, and the world's tallest artificial climbing wall at 85 meters high (279 feet).

Don't forget to hydrate #BikeSky

Rush hour in Copenhagen #BikeSky

Instead of calling it Artificial Intelligence, they should call it Artificial Stupidity.

...please lower your expectations.

Blood, sweat, and gears: The Guardian's gallery of great photos from the 2025 Tour de France #TdF

Now Spinning: The Moody Blues - Days Of Future Passed featuring "Nights In White Satin." Recorded in 1967, it was one of the first rock/pop albums to include a full orchestra, and one of the first to use a Mellotron. #VinylSky

Age verification? My first TV was black-and-white.

Now Spinning: John Mayall - Jazz Blues Fusion John and friends really cook on this live recording from 1971 #VinylSky

Today's gravel ride was 47 miles with 5,200 feet of climbing in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom. Destination: the summit of East Mountain, where there are dilapidated remnants of a cold war era military radar installation.

Sure, but Josh thinks bike lanes are the public safety problem.

Just hanging on a tree in the woods: Vintage 1970s Peugeot fixer-upper bicycle

Sudbury, MA: Construction crew preparing to pave new section of the Mass Central Rail Trail where it meets the current southern terminus of the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail. Old pieces of "the diamond" track will mark where the two railroad lines crossed.

Now Spinning: Blood, Sweat & Tears self-titled second album, featuring "Spinning Wheel," "You've Made Me So Very Happy,""And When I Die," and "God Bless The Child" #VinylSky

Today, I discovered an ancient artifact: an 8-inch floppy disc (circa 1980), single-sided single-density, storage capacity approximately 250 kilobytes.

Wanna see something cool? At the Grammy's in 1976, Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Torme explained what jazz is. The result? The crowd losing its mind. 🔥

Now Spinning: Blind Faith #VinylSky

Freedom Equality Democracy Concord 250th drone light show

Gravel biking the Two Rod Road trail, Concord, Massachusetts #BikeSky

It just so happens that I'm spinning the Koyaanisqatsi score this afternoon. And yes, it definitely counts as a film score.

Sellers grading the condition of used vinyl records is the only scenario I know of when "Good" means "Not good." #VinylSky

Now Spinning: Peter Gabriel's 'Melt' album, featuring "Games Without Frontiers" #VinylSky

Mobile phone app tracking has gotten absurd.

Listening to @faineg.bsky.social right now on the On Point radio show story about DJI and drones!

Now Spinning: Golden Earring's Moontan, best known for the hit "Radar Love," but also an excellent album overall. Two album cover versions (same music) were issued, the original uncensored "nude showgirl" cover, and the US re-release "earring" cover. #vinyl #VinylSky

Winter biking, a stop at frozen Mink Pond in Estabrook Woods nature preserve, Concord, MA. The small wooden structure the bike is leaning on is a duck house. 1/6

If this were a cyber attack, we would describe this as a successful compromise via social engineering followed by lateral movement and an alarming degree of privilege escalation

Now Spinning: Peter Gabriel's So. Still a stunning album nearly 40 years after its release. #Vinyl #VinylSky

Winter biking, Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, Sudbury, MA. Lots of glare ice over pavement. Wouldn't even have attempted it without studded tires.
