Help A Sister Out
Andrea at The Mill needs our help.
Even though it's a labor holiday, The Mill will be open this Monday from 8-5 and all the money they make on the day will go to Andrea—a long-time Mill employee—to help cover the medical bills she'll be racking up for a kidney transplant.
I'll see you there. Buy me a few coffees and I'll by you a few.
More info at Folks From Lincoln.
Even more info at Star City Scene.

found this lil hunk of gold while looking for what i thought was something else, YouTube is a lot like life in that way huh? you're looking for one thing, it turns out to be not what you thought it was and in the process you find something equaly amazing on accident!
smooth moves will cost ya
This video has been making it's way across various sites on the interwebs lately. It was made with one of these insane cameras that the founder of Oakley dreamed up.
A couple years back I was itching to get a Red camera of my very own. I think it's time to sell my car, a kidney and find whatever other items of value I can under my couch cushions.
(sorry for slacking on the couch pics by the way, Robbie)

Sofa King Fresh
Hi. I'm Robbie. For those that don't know me, I'm Kev's little brover. I've been a regular contributor to Good Problem since you were in a wet diaper and now I am reaching out to this growing population of Problem Havers - YOU.
I am working on a project that involves couches and couch related activity and I could really use your help, contribution, and collaborative spirit.
I want a photo of your couch. That's all.
- First, peep the couch photo examples in this post and keep this style of couch framing in mind when mentally preparing for your couch photo shoot.
- Next, take a few seconds to square up your digi-cam and snap me a photo of your living-room cruiser.
- Finally, email me your couch photo. Send it to robbiefresh at gmail.com Make sure the file you send is nice and high res. Hook me up with your couch photo by this Wednesday if you can :)
I'll love you forever.
Olympic Coverage
I didn't watch much of the Olympics. Frankly I could care less who is the fastest runner/swimmer/kayaker/whateverer. I did stumble upon NewsWeek's Visions OF China blog by NewsWeek's photographers. For me the photos are far more interesting than the televised event. Plus they give a good bit of insight about how the shots where made and their motivations for shooting this way or that. It would be interesting to see how these guys would shoot skateboarding. Judging form how they shot diving, they would probably isolate the skater in the air with no context as to where he is going or where he came from.

is this worth anything?
if you ever watched Hee Haw you know they had this little "Gloom, Despair and Agony on Me" section on each show, the chorus is bangin, the rest of this one kinda rubs, but you get the idea...
BMX makes Olympic debut...
Men: Strombergs takes gold in BMX...
Women: Chausson scores gold in BMX's Olympic debut...
In the men's race, Team USA's Mike Day and Donny Robinson grabbed the silver and bronze medals, respectively. The USA's Jill Kintner got the Bronze in the women's race. Sweet!Thursday, August 21, 2008
open water
10K open water swimming is a new Olympic event this year. A bit like cycle racing: drafting, feed zones, people bumping in to each other, a big peleton of sorts, sprint finishes, super physical... This last Saturday I did a open water 10k in Utah. Good times.
SK8OLOGY: This Saturday
If you're hanging around The LBC this Saturday:
On Saturday August 23, 2008 the ISM: gallery will host the opening exhibition, showcasing over 150 creative deck canvases from some of the most poignant and significant active artists and professional skaters.

Chris is leaving for Harvard...

Good show fella!
The Ponca ride was a blast. Lots of miles with friends. My hat goes off to Wills for the route and the navigation. Thanks again buddy!
Gersib, DK and I were a bit ahead of the group while we was closed in on Ponca. We rolled by the Messerschmidt farm and this fella came running out to greet us. Now I've had all kinds of negative experiences with dogs on gravel rides, but this wasn't the case. This fella was very friendly and obviously stoked to have someone to run with. The fella ran ahead of us up a very long stteep hill and kept turning around to see if we were still there.
"Yeah! We're coming! Slow down dawg!"
The dog was flying and smokin' us up the hills. After a mile or two, we began to get concerned that we were getting too far from the dog's farm. So I decided to drop the hammer up the next roller. It was tough and I slowly pulled away, but the dog wasn't giving up! The dog was running at top speed to catch me. After a couple hills I began to get concerned that I might be running the dog into it's grave.
Luckily the rest of the crew spotted the dog as they rolled by. Jim commented that the dog's tongue was hangin' out to the ground. Whew, the dog was still alive.
Good show fella! See you next year.
headed back...
so yeah. 155miles of gravel, one way.
then we headed back. dk had a huge to go cup of gas station coffee.

Epicly Later'd Is Coming Back
Season two of Patrick O'Dell's show Epicly Later'd on VBS.TV starts in a few weeks and its first offering documents one Mr. Gino Iannucci. Get ready for lots and lots of super amazingness.
Their Lives In The Bush Of Ghosts (Byrne Quad Play!)
"Having abandoned the idea of retreating into the Mojave, Brian and I settled into El Dorado studio in LA, where we were told Frank Sinatra had worked sometimes. We stayed on Vermont, in what is now Koreatown, I think. Prairie Prince, of the Tubes, joined us for a few days, playing drums, percussion and odds and ends. Our own percussive efforts made interesting sounds- using cardboard boxes and cases- but sometimes we lacked precise time."

Heros on the wall
My mom is selling her house and moving in to a retirement home next month. So i went and got all my old stuff i was storing there. I was stoked to find these two posters. Good style is timeless!

But, yeah. I know I already told you that Dave and Tania have a new blog, but I just thought I'd tell you again.
