The clean simple lines of a single speed bike are undeniably elegant, but there are times when one gear simply isn’t enough. In keeping with the simplicity single speeders strive to maintain, we developed the DOS ENO freewheel. Two gears on one freewheel. The chain is manually moved from one position to the next which allows the rider flexibility when riding in a situation that demands an easier or harder gear.(via White Industries)
Favrd. Trickle-down egonomics for the twitter attention span
Dean Allen (aka @textism) just did a very cool thing for people who like to surf Twitter favorites; he took out the webcocks but left in the fun.
From his post, introducing Favrd:
…by any means necessary, web-strategy, social-media, online-marketing webcocks – unaware as they are of how toxic their presence is in the arenas they cannot shut up about – must and shall be filtered out of view.
Good on ya, Dean. If bandwidth and cycles become a problem, I’m certain you can count on the fun bunch for donations.
Also: I will, at this juncture, predict the natural response — a service that’s nothing but webcocks and their self-links to whitepapers and blogkkake. Which I predict will be huge. Because that’s why the web has gotten boring. Yep. Webcocks.
(via kottke.)David Remnick lists the top 100 essential jazz albums. Caveat:
I thought it might be useful to compile a list of a hundred essential jazz albums, more as a guide for the uninitiated than as a source of quarrelling for the collector.
The list is a companion piece to Remnick’s article on jazz DJ Phil Schapp.
