Wisconsin Budget Repair Bill Protest from Matt Wisniewski on Vimeo.

Worse, most rash, hostile, shortsighted governor of Wisconsin EVER. Who else agrees? Barack Obama. In regards to the $810 million in funding for light rail that Walker just said no thanks to.

Support State employees.

And while your at it don't forget to support NPR and PBS.

Man this place is looking bad right now...

Friday when I left for work it was -10, on my ride home it was 27. 37 degree increase in the course of a workday. It's 40 outside right now and all of that Friday night snow is nowhere to be found. That said it's time to go for a ride. I suggest the same for everyone.

After getting back from the Stupor Bowl I noticed some noise coming out of my drivetrain. I have been planning on replacing everything once it got a little bit warmer, but I figured I might as well check it out and see what was going on. 9 teeth had busted off. Suffice it to say I think I found out why I dropped my chain during the Stuporbowl, either that or found the consequences of dropping it.

TNR tonight

Goldsprints at the Acoustic Cafe in Menomonie tomorrow

Wow, it's been a pretty packed couple of days. It was definitely nice to be able to sleep in today and catch a big greasy breakfast with Jen. Saturday was the Stuporbowl which was just beyond words fun. Magyar fought through a fever and we drove up early to get the manifest early and start planning. The race was just insane, I feel sorry for anyone in a car in downtown Minneapolis during the 3 hours of the race because they were surrounded by a couple hundred of the rowdiest,lawless cyclists you will ever see.
I didn't get many photos because we were busy cranking the whole race to really worry about photos. We eneded up riding the whole thing with a Chicago guy who was awesome and it was nice to roll with another out of towner. We got through two of the three manifests, but by the time we got back to Trash Bags for the third manifest we only had 45 minutes left and agreed to call it quits and go get some much earned food. Again, words can not describe this race, if you missed it this year, go next year, it's insane. However, if you are at all afraid of riding through traffic don't bother.
Sunday was back to work then the Superbowl, which was awesome. Monday more work and curling, and finally a day off today.
That pretty much brings things up to speed. While surfing the web today I found this Osiris ad that Eau Claire's own Arik Elstran is in.

And finally TNR in a few days and Goldsprints in Menomonie on Friday at the Acoustic Cafe, I think a few of us in EC are going to try to make it out so you should try too.

Go Pack Go!

Growing up I never really cared about sports at all. Really, I guess I still don't. But the more I read about the Packers and the more games I watch the more I really really like them. So yes, this is an obligatory pro-Packers post.

Who else loves the Pack? Lil Wayne apparently... I've had that song stuck in my head since I first heard it last night.

I haven't posted any videos in a while. There are a few reasons why, 1. A lot of them seem really repetitive and boring. 2. I have a hard time getting over the over the top obnoxious cliche rap that seems mandatory in every single one. Anyway I'm killing some time before work and found some stuff that I actually find pretty cool. So here it is.
