My Dream
Some dreams are unrealistic impossibilities, others are totally feasible. Nürburgring Nordschleif is one of those down to earth dream I'm going to make happen very very soon. 3-4 laps, that's all I ask for and that's what I will get. 13 miles and dozens of turns of ridiculousness. Bring any car/van/truck/moto you can afford to rent. It's €22 a lap at Nordschleif. Me? I will go for the 4 laps ticket for €75. Just gotta make sure to keep all the receipts for the C2D accounting department. Reimburse me, boom. My dream. Check out this clip below of someone doing the whole shabang on a $1000 budget.
Ikea and the 12,400 bikes
Lets start out by giving them thumbs up for the concept, free bike as a holiday gift for all employees. Not bad.
Lets give them thumbs down for stealing the joy of biking from 12,400 people. After a ride on that thing I'm positive that at least 10,000 of these employees will make a new years resolution to never ever ride a bike again followed by phone call to a lawyer, claiming Ikea tried to kill them.
Why on earth did they go for that overengineered pile of crap of a hybrid bike instead of a simple basic mountain bike or a single speed road bike. There are like 8 things wrong with this bike. I just can't see that thing being fun to ride. Keep the components, swap out the frame with some room and then you might actually end up with something that resembles a worthwhile ride.
Insult to injury? Check this out. Some shmuck built it up with the damn fork backwards. Come on! This is supposed to be Ikea - the church of building things while following simple diagrams for directions. How could you fuck that up? Doesn't it look awkward and handle even worse? Meh. Good enough said Fox19 from West Chester, Ohio and posted up the pic below in their news story. Idiots.
We are all about more bikes in the world .... but not like these.

Why I'm Gonna Go Ride Today: Vol 3 - Brakeless trials
I love this guys simple style. What a smooth, fun, crafty way to operate a bicycle. All black ride is a nice touch too. C2D approved.

Best of Cellphone Pics Volume 11 - Fotografías del Sol Edición
C2D is all about the sun and solar power. In fact we even ran a party earlier this year called Summer Eves which was more or less a gathering of solar power activists dancing to sick beats. So naturally, we like to take photos of the sun. Or at least I do. Below are some samples. Volume 11. Enjoy.

Fun'N'Games Vol 13 - Back to the Future!
This has been a loooong time overdue. Back to the Future was by far my favorite movie growing up back in Moscow in mid '80s. Granted the first few times I saw it, it was in this weird English language that no one knew, so I kind of had to make up my own story and dialog. But when I saw it dubbed in sweet monotone Russian for the first time, it was even better! Sick flick indeed. Well, finally a PS3 downloadable game is dropping that will let you go Back to the Future! A series of 5 downloadable episodes will be available starting end of December. Oh, you got a Xbox360 and want to play this? Well, I suggest you go "back to the future" and get a real video game system - oooooh snap! This will be fun.
