Jeremy Bentham?
May 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Who watched “Lost”? Who thought, “Hm, Jeremy Bentham …. hm, this reminds me of something. Something about prisons. With octagonal dimensions. P…. pan …. panopticon?”
Who then thought, “Michel Foucault? Discipline and Punish?”

Spring cold

I was fighting off a cold for a week, but then it descended full force over the weekend. All I’ve done the past week is lie in bed when not at the shop, and still I get sicker and sicker. And all these beautiful sunny days, wasted to being snotty and blowing my nose!
SUCKY.
I guess [...]

This makes me a bad blogger.
The mojo will return, I promise.

Monday, Thursday, Friday, no sales. Worried I had already run through my mojo.
Saturday, a rainy day, that meant it would be a quieter one, right? I sold one Specialized Globe ($339.99), one Lemond Tourmalet ($1,149.99), one Trek Soho S ($499.99), and one Trek 7.2FX ($439.99).
Didn’t go to lunch until 4:45. Shop closed at 6pm. Quiet [...]

Look, everybody, all I was saying is that I was surprised to hear about a new bike race, the Bologo Heartbreak Hill Grand Prix, in Boston. Needless to say I am excited about it, and it certainly didn’t seem like “old news.” Of course I would expect to see info about the event posted on [...]
