For about eight years, I recorded video of burlesque shows in my area. Hundreds of shows, thousands of performances. It was mostly burlesque, but there were also belly dancing, pole dancing, and aerial performance shows. I got to be fairly good at it, and I learned what worked and what didn’t. Use a Tripod The […]
[I have evidently written about this topic before.] So says William Goldman about what makes a film successful. The same is evidently true about film marketing. Yet, I wonder how hard people have tried, because when I see a film, it’s usually quite obvious to me whether it is good or not. And as for […]
There is a trailer out for The Book of Boba Fett, and I’m pretty sure I’ll want to watch it when it starts streaming on December 29. It doesn’t look like a prequel to his appearance in the films, but a sequel. I’m not one of those people who obsesses about the story potential of […]
Since I posted on this topic previously, I have learned a few things. As far as I can tell, there is not a way for mere mortals to suggest edits or corrections to the Biking layer of Google Maps. The suggestion of Jeffco Blvd. as a bicycle friendly road probably did not come from the […]
My Mongoose Dolomite ALX fat bike came with knobby Arisun Big Fatty tires. They are decent enough, and they are probably well suited to loose dirt trails. However, they are fairly noisy on pavement, and I don’t really plan to ride dirt trails that much with my fat bike. Looking around, the fat tire most […]
When I was buying my new road bike, the question of what bike computer to put on it came up. I had a Sigma bike computer on the bike that had been my primary bicycle, but it would take some work to move it, and its cadence sensor had never worked right. I let the […]
I wanted to love Loki, but it was really just okay. Only six episodes, and it kind of jumped the shark from the beginning. In retrospect, possibly the best thing about the character Loki is his relationship with Thor, who does not appear in this series. At least I know what the alligator is about, […]
The weather has become cool enough that I have switched over to heating the house. With this change, my cooking behavior will also change. The main difference is that I will (mostly) stop using the grill outside and begin using the oven inside. Colder outdoor temperatures inhibit the efficiency of the grill, especially when relying […]
All three of my bicycles are in working order again, and it’s because I bought and used a wheel truing stand to fix the warped wheel on my hybrid bike. This past February, and again in August, I failed to correctly strap my bike into my bike rack, and the rear wheel dropped onto the […]
I have been using the Biking layer of Google Maps for years to find new bike trails and good roads for cycling. I was surprised to discover this week that nearly the entire length of Jeffco Boulevard is shown as a “bicycle-friendly road”. I was surprised by this because, in my opinion, Jeffco Boulevard is […]
