Geekhouse Bikes

October 13, 2009 @ 9:56 pm

I’ve been saving up some money over the past few weeks to buy a very nice new bike. I guess I could always go the cheaper route and pick up a frame from BikesDirect, but I figured I’d want to spend some real money and get a frame that I’ll really love and kind of show off to other people. I’m thinking of getting something that stands out in a non-extreme sort of way (meaning, not particularly flashy with the colors), but still makes people turn their heads if they were really paying attention.

I’m not 100% sure that Geekhouse Bikes fits this bill, but I’m going to keep them in mind when I make a final decision because I really like their history, their aesthetic to bike building, and the fact that they reign from Boston (one of my favorite cities).

Check out this video below of owner Marty Walsh building a custom bike frame.

I don’t think it matters what color the Zune HD comes in, it’ll look great no matter what. Can’t wait to get my hands on one!

iTunes 9 fixes the function of the expand window button

What’s the best thing about iTunes 9?

Let me tell you: Apple finally made the green expand window button do what it’s supposed to in iTunes. I’ve talked previously about how in previous versions of iTunes the expand window button actually made iTunes smaller by going into mini player mode. Stupid.
