Bar thoughts

I haven't been riding much lately, so naturally, my thoughts turn toward the materialistic aspects of cycling. I ran across the Modolo Gran Fondo handlebars recently, and I'm thinking that they might be a good choice for my La Cruz. The bars have a fair amount of rearward offset that should allow the use of a slightly longer stem. They certainly are ugly by most bike snob standards. Here are a few pics from eBay and one from a German review.

Most likely I won't buy them, but it is a tempting thought.

Recuperation

Well, I'm almost recovered from my Christmas of overeating. Yesterday had a Thanksgiving-style meal with my folks for Lunch and then went over to a friends for another huge meal of pork tenderloin and fixings for dinner.

Today is a day for watching Tivo'd Narnia and digesting yesterday's gluttony.

Happy Holidays! It is wonderful to be able to be a sloth now and again.

Flex E4X

Working on a project with Adobe Flex / ActionScript 3 and was really struggling with XML namespaces... turns out there is a great blog that really helped me out understanding namespaces in AS3 as well as XML handling in AS3 in general.
