J ustin, you are doing good work. Your blog adds immense value for the man-on-the-street. Expect some bureaucratic nonsense from some bar-council uptight about advertising limitations and such but for our sakes, please stay the course. I have a question about YouTube and copyright infringement. At what point does Satriani relinquish control of his work! His live performance at Anaheim 2006 is ‘downloadable’ from YouTube not only via Websatch, his YouTube page, but also through accounts of his fans. It is reasonable to assume that it is illegal to take and use what you have not paid for or what you do not have permission from the owner to take. For all intent, it is ‘theft’ - synonymously known as ‘download’ in the digital platform. The video depicts One Robot’s Dream , a track I ‘stole’ via the relevant algorithm in Safari’s Activity Window. Safari is one browser that makes the algorithm route possible but that is another issue. Observe the quality of the video. All tracks

Thomas B.L. Kerk is described here as a ‘corporate lawyer’ and ‘art connoisseur’ and an ‘idealist’ in this brief. I refuse to dim the focus. I simply know him as a friend who brings humanity to the door; everything else about him is commentary. He arrives with the simplest of objectives. On the eve of Christmas, he prematurely exited a function and graced my home with 4 pints and a thumb drive. The unconventional gift bore images of people, consensual, honest and real as there are. Quite unlike those who foist self-serving imagery and travelogues, Kerk transports the human spirit. He deftly sets aside the messenger and highlights the message. I thought I share a little teaser, mindful the limits of the visual do not bear out the depth of the lens; Kerk’s Lens, as the commentary is aptly titled. Audio: To The One Who Knows (Yanni) ©

The slides depict some of them and I am especially proud of the Cannondales. I purchased the (black) SV3000 in 1994 and the (red) SV4000 in 1996. As a tribute to Joe Montgomery (if you are reading this), they are stacked on Minouras and glow in the dark with little spotlights trained on them. “Joe, both Cannondales are still regular on the trails though the single cranked Rockwell replica is not helpful uphill, but clipped on the DX, I manage” The DeltaV and FoxR are great on the SV3 and I have no complaints on the Moto 120 and Alps 4r on the SV4. My sin with the SV3 is that I upgraded to the 2nd generation XTR. The 1st generation is still with me though and I intend to revert to convention before some die-hard takes me to task. Elaine Wong Kar Yan, a marathoner/triathlete from Hong Kong, figured free-riding the SV3 into her stamina-building program. Inverting the stem and sawing off a replacement seat post, the 'V' accommodates her inseam. The petite athle
