    2014 FUCI Approved Sticker

    The 2014 FUCI Approved sticker has arrived! Subtle (or not) features of this year’s sticker are the piles of cash (payoffs, bribes, etc) and the bottle of whiskey with shot glass (back room deals, drugs, etc).  These may also represent handups which should not be a crime. All of this leads to the “shame” of the…

    2014 Lake Sonoma Series – Race 2

    Had the chance to head to Sonoma for the 2nd race of the 2014 Lake Sonoma Series. This is a very fun but tough event. The riding there consists of single-track and fire roads. The single-track is a blast but tricky, rocky in places, with loose gravel, and thick dry grass. Oh, and the climbs…

    2014 Grasshopper #3 – Super Sweetwater

    One of the toughest of the Grasshopper Adventure Series, the Sweetwater, piled on the pain this time. The route strung together Sweetwater, Old Caz, Fort Ross, and then ended with a climb up Coleman Valley from Hwy 1. Ouch. It. Hurt. More info: http://www.grasshopperadventureseries.com

    2014 Bantam Classic

    The second running of the Bantam Classic once again knocked it out of the park. Yuri raised the stakes and gave us a fun hard course, GU Energy products, a chance to be king or queen bantam, and then afterwards treated to lunch from Fork Catering and free beer from Lagunitas Brewery all hosted on…

  • Justin Herman Plaza Fountain Animated

    Here’s an animated gif of the fountain in Justin Herman Plaza (San Francisco). I created it by first capturing around 100 photos from various angles.  These were then uploaded into the Autodesk Recap 360 cloud application for conversion into a model.  This is a free service that can create 3D models from photos.  Once the model was…

    Animated BART

    Created a little animation that represents waiting for my BART train. Watch for it… my train does arrive. Life of commuting in the bay area sure is a pain.
