Now I'm adding more work to that schedule, and it's called for connectivity from home. The result? As expected I've been trawling through the <i>huge</i> backlog of unread blogs, unresearched little factoids and so on.<br />
One of the effects of this is that I've been reminded of one of the reasons I believe I wrote it in the first place: to share, vent and speculate. Not to friends via email or messages, not on facebook, but just into the general world around. Case in point:<br />

BMW 6 series Gran Coupe. <br />
Last week I drove down to Munich with a group of colleagues, along the way we were playing Leap Frog with an unidentified but rather attractive BMW (similar to above but Bronze with black wheels). Now that it has sprung to mind due to seeing something or other on a blog, I now know it is a <a href="http://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicles/6series/gran_coupe/2011/showroom/index.html" target="_blank">6 Series Gran Coupe</a> and that it has a load capacity of 530kg.<br />
530kg?! For a relatively big luxury sedan that just doesn't sound very high. I wonder if it's being sold in the US (or Australia for that matter). Add four account managers after a long lunch, a few bags with laptops and <span class="st">prospectūs, and there is barely capacity for the requisite clubs to tackle an afternoon round.</span><br />
<span class="st"><br /></span>
<span class="st">Meh, what do I care, I'm not an account manager</span><br />

Not that anyone will be reading anymore but it's odd the factors that collide to prompt me to break the draught: a rare spare moment on the internet, an interesting photo, and an empty office with no one to remark too.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq0jlAgfmPwxcgsiporWP-e1OMZ1Fi-iY-jCm4_JdhxlZb6LIfx0AuuzjIzukp29iAxJDYW019kqkGHh3cEMYazye192Z_59d0ioVtxqB3zzz-AIPj1y5rFQMsJHMMmaNZuJSLXNCYrFQ/s1600/the+atlantic+50+years+times+square.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 332px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq0jlAgfmPwxcgsiporWP-e1OMZ1Fi-iY-jCm4_JdhxlZb6LIfx0AuuzjIzukp29iAxJDYW019kqkGHh3cEMYazye192Z_59d0ioVtxqB3zzz-AIPj1y5rFQMsJHMMmaNZuJSLXNCYrFQ/s400/the+atlantic+50+years+times+square.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713718292678153330" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This may speak about me more than anything else but the things I first took notice of in this photo of Times Square in '61 was 2m high "two trouser suits" sign and the amazing condition of the road.

Now I have no internet and rarely get a moment to jump on a computer at work [I've just come in now after working in one of the other sights for the day]. But besides that what has happened?:<br /><br />I bought an old steel road bike from a friend on the cheap and a few days later I went off to Belgium and the Netherlands for a week. I caught a train the night before I had planned to leave and ended up in Rotterdam. I say ended up as I wasn't intending to be there, it was the product of last minute cheap ticket offers and miscommunications. I decided to ride from there to Brugge for a <a href="http://speedseekers.blogspot.com/2011/03/open-garage-party-update.html">hotrod/bike party</a> i was going to [where I finally got to meet <a href="http://speedseekers.blogspot.com/">Chris</a>, thanks mate!]. Did it over two days as I didn't leave Rotterdam until after 3pm and it was about 200km including about 20+km of distance covered while lost. Ended up riding from Rotterdam through Brugge, Gent, Brussels and to Antwerp to <a href="http://fixedgearantwerp.wordpress.com/">stay with friends</a> for a few days [Thanks Chris and Ann, missing you!] before going to the Benelux polo Championships back near Amsterdam.<br /><br />Some nice little memories along the way like rolling into a small town after 11pm, and within 10 minutes after eating, I had met people who introduced me to someone I could stay with for the night. I had a recumbent pass me like I was sitting still while I was spinning in top gear down into a tunnel under a river. Also got a nice slipstream tow and guide for about 40km from a friendly local road rider in western Holland.<br /><br />I just had my sleeping bag strapped to my bars, a backpack with my bike bag, a few tools and that's about it. A decent map would have been very helpful as I was relying on some google maps prints and directions from locals, I also would have killed for some proper shoes and pedals [fixed that upon getting home and haven't really worn other shoes since].<br /><br />There are some beautiful areas out there and as is my experience when travelling, most everyone was very friendly and helpful. I would seriously consider moving to Antwerp! Maybe I'll keep an eye out for jobs out there...<br /><br />Back to normal life in Berlin now, which consists of German language classes from 8, then work from 12 till whenever I finish, usually after 7, then time with friends before sleep. Currently working mostly in an <a href="http://basedinberlin.com/">old atelier building</a> where we are building a bar and restaurant that will open in about 2 weeks, and close 6 weeks after that. It's such an improvement to be working in a vibrant park rather than the dark cave of a <a href="http://cookies.ch/">club </a>where I spend most of my working hours.<br /><br />Polo has been very much on the back-burner lately due to being busy with everything else but I've been back out a couple of times recently now that that I can keep the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15940411@N05/5755705437/in/photostream">swiss-army-bike</a> as a dedicated polo rig. I might head over to Barcelona in about a month to see the <a href="http://www.ehbpc.org/">European championships</a>, not play, just a good time to go there to see the place and some old friends.<br /><br />By the way, I just got told the other day that there are some photos of my beautiful new niece <a href="http://www.headinthecloudsphotography.com.au/blog/?p=2749">here</a><br /><br />That the highlights for the moment, since I'm dedicating some time to internet usage now I've also put a few <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15940411@N05/">more recent photos up</a> too but still many months behind.<br /><br />As usual I regret that it's such a long time between contacts but it just the way life is right now."<br /><br />Sorry for the lack of pictures, but just hit the links for some visual stimulation. Hope everything is great by anyone [will anyone read this, or has everyone got bored and tuned out by now?] and everyone reading this!Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17154258267824054228noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355314837190788298.post-31082534558200888152011-02-28T04:46:00.004+10:302011-02-28T17:18:22.530+10:30FebruaryI would be remiss if I were to allow the month to pass without at least one post, so here's an assorted grab bag of things I've been meaning to, but failing to share:<br /><br />A brilliantly executed tourist map<br /><a href="http://s3files.core77.com/blog/images/2010/11/crumpledmap_ny-thumb-468x468-7988.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

But it is an experience that I must embrace if I am to continue my life here in Berlin [granted the public transport is great but I prefer to ride].<br /><br />We had our first real snow fall last week and it did force me in to a train in the morning as 1.5" slicks do not make good snow tyres. That is until I learnt about the zip-tie snow modifications. After that I was rolling and sliding my way around the city, I kept catching myself laughing out-loud between cautious moments where are all my concentration was focused on not falling under a passing truck. Great fun!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2k-m84wlxk5OJrIfZBi-krtpBGyVGOh7DXsf6QVHUk3LJEZpQ4oDFWWJaJkR-We4KkT56fMj8WjO9X4vfTAIsbmeGcDMHh8IsMsckbHhehZZiX6Ugw_p42hEdFOH9ePAh2_Qyuenq0yI/s1600/zip+tied.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2k-m84wlxk5OJrIfZBi-krtpBGyVGOh7DXsf6QVHUk3LJEZpQ4oDFWWJaJkR-We4KkT56fMj8WjO9X4vfTAIsbmeGcDMHh8IsMsckbHhehZZiX6Ugw_p42hEdFOH9ePAh2_Qyuenq0yI/s400/zip+tied.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547574087672275378" border="0" /></a><br />While it does look ridiculous, it does also work surprisingly well. Now that the roads are ploughed and salted grip levels are generally only a little less than a rainy day I have taken them off as they make turning a little treacherous when not in the snow. Also the cold makes the ties very brittle so I had already lost many of them, but next time the snow falls I will be putting them on again!<br /><br />Obviously don't try it if you have rim brakes! This is the better option if you have the money to spend:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPA09LssUoiL_0VphfiDWM00DActMPW9yJR6-TmvE7UJOLcuFLLTddacR-eMsBlBkYKlt4u1eO4dCZToXKtjPhcH2HvT5OpNNOy8dKvYWyaVFp34ULkCVL8GXbqnIN7K4X5GgZfrJAz2E/s1600/poloholica+pb282601.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPA09LssUoiL_0VphfiDWM00DActMPW9yJR6-TmvE7UJOLcuFLLTddacR-eMsBlBkYKlt4u1eO4dCZToXKtjPhcH2HvT5OpNNOy8dKvYWyaVFp34ULkCVL8GXbqnIN7K4X5GgZfrJAz2E/s400/poloholica+pb282601.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5547586618859087874" border="0" /></a><br /><br />via <a href="http://fahrtwindberlin.blogspot.com/">Fahrtwind</a>, <a href="http://www.dutchbikeco.com/_blog/Dutch_Bike_Co_Weblog/post/Seattle_Snowpocalypse/">Dutch Bike Co</a> and <a href="http://poloholica.com/">Poloholica</a> also thanks to <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.styleserver.de">Styleserver</a> for the ties and the warm place to install them.Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17154258267824054228noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355314837190788298.post-40849711111853362632010-11-03T03:35:00.002+10:302010-11-03T03:43:07.842+10:30Random Image #48: Pull<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.futilitycloset.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/2010-10-05-pull.png"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 416px;" src="http://www.futilitycloset.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/2010-10-05-pull.png" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />via one of my favourite new blogs: the excellent <a href="http://www.futilitycloset.com/2010/10/05/pull/">Futility Closet</a>.

It's so stupid! Coffee for $2.50? Sure, that'll be $2.71. Come on people, it's not too hard to include the tax in the price.<br />Anyway, that rant is out of the way for the moment. There was no such foolishness down in Oregon, I had such a great time down there where I spend most of my time in Portland. I love that city! I'm open to propositions of marriage that would allow me to move there....<br />Many thinks must go to my most gracious and generous host, Jill. She took in a stranger on the weekend of the 4th when she already had a visitor staying and showed me such a great time. Thanks Jill, you're a doll.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15940411@N05/4768044253/" title="Smiles by Two Halves, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/4768044253_f0c5bd04ec.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Smiles" /></a><br /><br />As always the photos are over in <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15940411@N05/">flicker</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15940411@N05/4768672332/" title="Entry by Two Halves, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4122/4768672332_1085c34318.jpg" width="500" height="375" alt="Entry" /></a>Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17154258267824054228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6355314837190788298.post-60705024646375420682010-07-02T05:32:00.003+09:302010-07-06T13:21:53.057+09:30Places Visited: California<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15940411@N05/4752758431/" title="River bed by Two Halves, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4115/4752758431_cbba5dce97.jpg" alt="River bed" height="375" width="500" /></a><br />Yeah, yeah, I know, it's been a while between posts but I make no apologies as I've had better things to do other than sit at a computer!<br />I've been loading some photos to <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15940411@N05/">flickr</a> when I can so if you want to be kept a little more up-to-date I suggest you subscribe to that feed (little orange square on right hand side of address bar, I recommend <a href="http://www.google.com/intl/en/googlereader/tour.html">google reader</a>).<br />Currently in yet another Starbucks (very handy resource for electrical outlets and wi-fi) and while here I learnt of yet another selections bike nuts. I'm learning that there must be some form of inherent connection to adventure in those who ride, be it motorised or not. The first adventurers for the day (other than the numerous pannier laden cyclists and the guy on the Canadian plated GPX250, complete with L plates) are Jack and Lauren who I just missed the opportunity to meet in San Francisco. They are currently pushing their tandem across America over the next few months. They are finally off and rolling after some of the common plane related issues, check them out here: <a href="http://therewillbehills.com/">There Will Be Hills.</a><br />The next was Tim, who I met right here, right now. He is riding solo from California to Alaska. He exploits can to followed <a href="http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/7240">here</a> (when he gets around to working in it between rides).<br />On that topic the number of cyclists on the road is unbelievable, though for some reason 99% of them are heading south so they don't affect me at all. Another pattern I've been observing is that of the motorcyclists on the road: the vast majority of bikes out there have two cylinders and three headlights, and of those almost all have those stupid little pudding bowl helmets.<br />Anyway, time to hit the road again.<br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/15940411@N05/4752775531/" title="Misalignment by Two Halves, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4116/4752775531_6d689abef8.jpg" alt="Misalignment" height="500" width="375" /></a>Danhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17154258267824054228noreply@blogger.com1
