Most of my week was spent recovering from the ass-kickin handed to me courtesy of the Wasatch Enduro. It was a great event and I can’t wait til next year, however I am looking forward to getting back on my bike without regard for the clock. Below is a great video that embodies the essence of trail riding; I love the sound rubber on dirt makes as it rips through the forest. Featuring rider Aidan Forrest via Spoke Magazine.
I posted a link to James Victore’s 99% Conference talk earlier in the week but it’s worth reposting. Any graphic designer, or really any kind of professional, worth the weight of their iPhone should take something away from this video. While graphic designer may not be as noble of an occupation as say brain surgeon, design, if done right, has the power to have a positive impact on the world around us.
Technically, Christmas in July was yesterday, but the Alex Deckard Internet Shop is open and ready for business. Go buy something special for yourself or someone you love… it’s the American thing to do.
They don’t make ’em like this anymore – My World is Empty by The Supremes. Something about this song really has a hold on me. The track is so dark and brooding yet positively upbeat.
