    Lisbon Downtown 2008

    Hey smee!! =D It's like I'm saying to the rider "so... gonna get it over with or not?" The guy in the background was staying at a hostel at one of those doors (in the middle of the course). When the guy decided that he had seen enough he got up, went to the door, and rang the bell... no...

    Yogurt call!

    Thanks for the help everyone ;) Around here we have the major brands too, but the labels and packaging are different, so it's great to see all of this.

    Yogurt call!

    Guys this will be a strange post, but I need your help. I have to work on yogurt labeling, and I'm trying to research as many brands as possible. If you could take the time to post yogurt brands from your country it would really be of great help... European monkeys, I need your help too, so if...

    Anyone been to Spain?

    If you're going in August, and are into to really fun and crazy events, do not miss the Tomatina tomato-throwing party in Buñol, about 20kms from Valencia. I was there this last summer and it was a blast. It takes place in the last Wednesday of August, and any kind of booking should be made...

    Turner DHR, piece of crap.

    Hey, it's as simple as this: he was frustrated and vented while asking for help, big f'n deal! He already admitted it and toned it down. If Turner is as good as its reputation, the problem will be solved. There. Oh and I couldn't care less about the title, almost the whole thread is...

    Turner DHR, piece of crap.

    Being from Europe and having bought several frames from the US, I can tell you that you pay double, that with many brands you receive lousy customer support from national distributors, that when you establish direct contact, email can take a lot of time, and even phone conversations can get...

    dear american/european tourists.... pay me some attention please

    Exactly I think I'm bordering your concept, or at least from time to times people might accuse me of doing the same thing. When I travel I don't look for poverty, but I try to escape from the big cities, the landmarks, the tourist-traps etc. I do it because when on vacations I really...

    my photo workflow...sharpening?

    I understand where you're coming from, but the problem is that no matter how you handle the data, the image recorded has already stuff that doesn't belong in the photo. The thing is, there are other artifacts besides those caused by jpeg compression, straight out of the camera you have noise...

    Human extinction: Ethical question

    A volcano or asteroid is meaningless at a cosmic scale. Earth is special to us.

    29 Inch fork with a 26 inch wheel

    I seem to recall that the endless guys ran a rigid 29" surly fork for a while. I think it worked fine. You might want to check out the rigid 29" fork lenght and compare it to your 26" fork under sag, but in general I think it would be ok. Edit: I was thinking of a rigid 29" fork... I have no...

    Human extinction: Ethical question

    As natural as chimpanzees fishing for termites with sticks.

    Human extinction: Ethical question

    What gives us the right to fight Nature's plan, by letting ourselves get exterminated even being *naturally* able to avoid it?

    freeride hardtail AND climber?

    Well I've been using my Endless lifetime for that exact purpose for about 3 years. It works great. It has a 24" wheel at the back which limits your tire choice, and I don't know if Marshall and Adam are still making them (although from time to times a few show up in the classifieds), but my...

    my photo workflow...sharpening?

    I would say PSDs for added convenience regarding masking layers, etc etc. But processing every photo differently is impossible if you have deadlines etc. In that case I batch process them (admitting that I got them right in the camera), and afterwards only go after the ones that standout the...

    my photo workflow...sharpening?

    It's done the other way around. First upsize to the desired size (web, print, etc) and only then do you "sharpen" the image. When you sharpen you aggravate jpeg artifacts (they are always there, shapening->upsizing will make them show up, and then make them big; the result is that you're...
