Starting a little while ago and running until Monday June 10 @ 23:59 EST you can buy Misfit Psycles genuine sticky things for exactly 50% off whatever they are*. *Which is probably still more than they should be but that's what they are. Coupon Code: STICKIT This promotion is brought to you in a not entirely un-desperate attempt to buy things I don't need and can't afford. Because someone else who can told me ...
The Corporate Psycles (home) page is in need of some 2013. The new site WILL be: RESPONSIVE - web 2.whatever, mobile, an app even, maybe. BLACK - black with black accents and black highlights. MINE - hand drawn textures and images where possible*. * I am aware that CANVAS isn't THAT, but if this is in fact the future, maybe it SHOULD be. The new site will NOT be: SEO - it ...
In the past and always never, sponsorship deals have simply not worked* for Misfit Psycles. *Not Worked - perhaps in a traditional (brand recognition) sense, but never in a clearly quantifiable (sales) sense. On occasion, it was because we selected the wrong candidate*, probably because they asked us to and we hoped somehow someway something might stick. *Wrong Candidate - no fault of their own, any racer, rider or person ...
Just and the other day, Friday to be exact, I went to flick the switch on MISFITDEALERS.com. The site in and of itself appeared functional, more or less just the way I'd left it. And because I'd left it looking more or less like shit, it needed some work before turning it on. That's not the real problem. The admin panel is entirely and totally unaccessible. The cart is ...
Not so very long ago, in the more hearty of my years, wintery riding was all of the norm. This is the part where I'd normally climb back into a bag of Doritos and flippantly dismiss mine lapse towards sentimentality onnacounta MTBR trolls and consumerization and mechanized polar bears, I would, if it wasn't for a more harsher reality. It hasn't been worth the effort. Layers upon layers upon layers. ...
Question number 7 (of 65) of the WHAT THE FUCK list for kids. Because that is what its come to. What would happen if it really did rain cats and dogs? In order to respond appropriately, and by appropriately I mean within the context of the intended exercise and not within the confines of any actual multiversal reality (which starts and ends with; it just can't asshole), there is another, more pertinent ...
Short Wind: Stage One of the BRECK EPIC is done. Not the most climbing and not the longest day of what's to come. Essentially, some time passed, most of which I made the worst of. In the end, many and many people better than I went faster. Long Wind: I slept on a bunk, on a tiny mattress, without a ladder. By no means am I an active sleeper. But. ...
The 2012 edition of the BRECK EPIC will be a go in some and so 60 days. For you, there can only be three possible responses; You have entered. You have not entered, you will be doing so, you are just slow. You have not entered, you will not be doing so, you are a pussy. Certainly, if you have entered, you probably and already know that you aren't number ONE. Because ...
With lesser time than patience we (being the royal I) are going to call the latest epic instalment in the "WordPress AutoUpgrade vs Misfit Psycles Curiosity vs WordPress Version vs Plugins vs Themes battle du jour" - Good Enough. And by Good Enough I really do mean meh with a capital whatever. I'm not entirely please with the (new) layout. Possibly because it's different. I'm not entirely pleased with the ...
The case could be made that, through and with time, our bodies ability to withstand beatings and batterings subsides. With age comes the inevitability of weakness. This is something a more the younger me would say. And, as I normally was, I would (have) been correct. About the other older people. They say; What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. They say this amidst your suffering, possibly in the spirit ...
A brief bulletin of be causes to be championed or challenged during my (eventual) bid to become mayor. Prime Minister. Sheriff. Deity. Installation of a world-wide Ban on ALL Support Causes. We do not support Cancer or Autism or Homelessness or any shitty thing we don't want for ourselves, we fight them. Writing that inane slogan on a fake ribbon and applying it to your bumper only makes you a ...
Last minute preparations near one of two terminations. Completion. Complete abandonment. From the completed files. Anti-Prizes have been purchased and are now fully allocated. Some new, some olde categories: ANTI-WINNER. The person who most and best exemplifies anything and everything losers hate about winners. ANTI-LOSER. This person clearly is mostly and totally oblivious to the fact that the Anti-Race is/does/has ever in fact happen(ed). LAPDOG CALLOUT. A ...
Spring is nigh. The weather may do as it fuckingwell pleases. Deny if it must all intents to the contrary, riding season* is almost on us. * proper riding, riding that doesn't involve garbage bag skin suits and distain. At this instant, tractor trailers are being docked at bike shoppes across southern Ontario. Each one stuffed with product relegated to basements and storage facilities, products unworthy of floorspace, products that have ...
Since whenever and over whatnot my (relative) state of fitness has come and gone. In order to better assist you with context I could make (another) chart that would accurately reflect my desire to achieve any given state of fitness. Much like the desire it's intended to represent, it's just not worth the effort. What happened December 18 was (essentially) nothing special. I woke inspired and I intended to start that ...
Onward and upwards. Ideally, in brilliant plume of flame. Progress means considering the unconsiderable. Progress means doing the undoable. Stretching and bending the unmalleable soul of our corporate being. Beyond tradition. Beyond expectation. Progress is, relatively speaking, an huge-waste of time and resources. Progress was explicitly and exclusively invented by corporations with both to burn and little to lose. Progress is a rouse meticulously packaged and sold to the consumer-nation ...
