This is written partly in response to Jacquie Phelan’s recent musings about where women fit into the cycling industry, and partly because I sometimes kick ideas around about my own “place” in the two-wheeled underground. I think part of the problem(s) that both Jacquie and Bike Hugger were addressing (1) (2) (3) stem from how [...]

Hi, hi! I’m just lollygagging around tonight and trying a new approach to the abuse of GIF images. Don’t mind me. I’m sure I never do. I have a favorite little animated GIF, a self-drawing rosette that I may end up using more again, if this embedding process looks any good. We shall see how [...]

Any woodchucks poking their heads out here in KC today weren’t too likely to see any shadows…it was overcast and kind of grimy today. Winter in Kansas City, when it isn’t snowy, is not an aesthetic triumph. I’ve been hunkered down pretty deep lately…gone to ground so you might say. Here I am popping my [...]

For as much goofing around with the Internet as I do, I’m not what you’d call proficient. I don’t know how to code. I use WordPress templates that pretty much walk you through any minor modifications you might want to make. Until today. Joel had been asking me for help with the Dirty Kanza 200 [...]
Okay, I’d be a total asshole if I didn’t write the obvious – I’m unable to articulate how truly grateful I am for my awesome family and friends, a few of whom I’ll be spending the evening with, and a few more with whom we’ll be throwin’ down a fiesta on Saturday. My tribe is [...]

As it happens when I don’t update in a while, lots of stuff goes on in my life…interesting stuff that I ought to write up, but don’t then when I finally get up the gumption to write, I’m just plain overwhelmed. It’s like a larger and more personal dose of the anxiety I get when [...]

Been re-adjusting and re-configuring the site since I moved it from wordpress.com to meetzorp.com. I had to download and upload my preferred theme, and somehow it still looks a bit different, but it doesn’t suck, so I am okay with it. I kind of need to find my original header images, though, ’cause the version [...]

I most generally take a lot of pictures. Sometimes I see something just totally random and awesome, and so I have to stop and whip out the camera and record it for posterity: I mean, would you otherwise have believed me if I told you that I saw GOATS in an empty lot on my [...]

I think I’m going to start a new section on my blog. I won’t be doing it every day, but sometimes, I think I am going to do a quick inventory of my “fashion point” for the day. The main inspiration of this project is the Japanese Street Fashion magazine Fruits. Whenever they photograph a [...]

Okay, meetzorp.com is staying put just as you know it, but my professional site, As You Like It Designs is temporarily going to be available at asyoulikeitdesigns.wordpress.com. I’m migrating the content of AYLI to Dreamhost, where the URL is registered anyway. If this works well, I’ll probably move Meetzorp over there, too. There are several [...]
