I’m a big fan of Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery. Today’s comic, I couldn’t help but comment with a link to one of my biking comics that seemed on topic. That trickled to a bike forum and, well, here some of you are. Thanks for coming! Here’s a few of the bike comics I’ve done so far:

To answer a question I saw on the forums, yeah I’m a biker. I bike to and from work daily. It’s only 3 miles, but it’s still kinda hilly and even if it isn’t a lot, I love it. Feel free to share those around!
The first special was 1965’s “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” The show reportedly worried CBS because it broke so much new ground for a cartoon: It lacked a laugh track, used real children as voice actors, had a jazz score and included a scene in which Linus recited lines from the New Testament.
I’m Jewish and I loved that thing. Read more here.
Yay!
Oh, and R. “Diesel Sweeties” Stevens is looking for more readers. I know you’re probably reading his stuff already, but I’m giving him a shout-out anyways. I said I would since, yknow, we’re tight…
A guy puts together an animation piece to apply for a job. It’s hilarious and the music he uses is great. Thanks to Systemic Jen for sending this my way. If you have anything worth sending my way, send it here.
I know, I know. You missed me! Few quick things.
Don LaFontaine (the movie trailer narrator) has passed away. Plenty of jokes come to mind. What are some of yours?
Tigh / Roslin has a campaign site. (Oh, and I spelled Roslin wrong in the last post. Why? Because I live in DC. 20 points if you understand that.)
Every BSG episode in 5 minutes. YES OF COURSE THERE ARE SPOILERS.
Did you see yesterday’s comic? One of my favs.
As previously mentioned, Rosscott, Inc. is a big fan of Mad Men because it is amazing. I know it has a big following in the design community, probably due to its subject matter. As such, some designerds of my proportion have found a slight flaw: they use Arial in the end credits.
Seems as good of a time as any to point out that The System is 100% Helvetica Neue.
Thanks, Alexbot3000 for posting about how McCain / Palin look like Col. Tigh / Laura Rosslyn Roslin (BSG).

2. What you just watched is getting made into a TV show by Cartoon Network (after Nickelodeon passed on it). Isn’t that cool? Read more here.
