There is some virtue occasionally in not giving kids all the facts.
The WSJ did a bit on Moleskines today; it’s been picked up by all the cool sites like BoingBoing.
Sigh.
Looks like I need a new fetish. Back to cycling, I guess, especially if Lance doesn’t ride leTour. Or even better – it looks like Rollerblading is not quite cool any more.
Forgot to post the link to a fan site

Here’s my question, and it’s not entirely PC – if all but about 100K of the human race had been wiped out, would you really be sending women into combat, or would you revert to the middle ages? The Israelis have shown that you can grow a civilization in a hostile area using women as combat forces, but they had constant immigration and were vastly outnumbered. I’m sure there’s some game theory that’s been worked out on this, but it’s kind of an interesting connundrum.
Yes, and I work because I enjoy the challenge, not because I need the money.
Everyone’s favorite Eastern Block Training Camp Product is asking the same question as the rest of the cycling world: Is LA going to ride le Tour 2005? If he doesn’t and Ullrich wins (two huge ifs), then how does that taint Ullrich’s second win, and how does that stamp Ullrich as the most robbed cyclist in a generation?
“Last year was the worst of my career,” added the 31-year-old, who finished the 2004 Tour fourth behind Armstrong, T-Mobile team mate Andreas Kloeden and Italian Ivan Basso.
Well, duh.
But we all know the truth – Ullrich is going to be pulling Basso to the top of the hill this year, and it’s going to be Basso vs the Texan. Though I just want to see more of that spunky Thomas Voeckler
Is apparently less important to the Frogs than is beating down doping in cycling. French Pigs (Les Porcs?) confiscated computers at La Pointe and l’Equipe the other day. The papers had done an expose featuring cyclists’ quotes to police, and refused to reveal their sources to an internal police investigation.
So les Porcs decided they could take the computers.
(This is where I could go onto a rant on how France doesn’t have as robust a First Amendment equiv, and does have close civil ties to the Vatican, and ask if we really want GWB to make us into France, but I’ve got a better punchline)
