Whoops. I won’t get into the whole lengthy absence thing again—you can just refer to the last post for that.

I will say this, though: my trusty old iBook G4 flamed out for good last week (logic board failure, or so they say), so I’m on a brand-new computer—a basic aluminum Macbook—for the first time in forever. Seeing that I hadn’t had to buy a computer since 1989 or so, I figured I got off somewhat easy. Of course I hadn’t backed anything up in forever either, so I’m in limbo as to whether ANY of my data can be saved. It wasn’t the hard drive itself that burned out, thankfully, but from what the Geniuses at the Apple Store had to say, transferring everything off won’t be an easy task. So I’m holding my breath.

What else? The economy still sucks. And nobody’s safe. Not sure whether you saw it or not, but Rick Moliterno is selling off a bunch of his stuff on eBay, including his original RAD script, a shitload of original Shimano DX pedals and a grab bag of half-finished Standard prototype stuff. At least they’re not selling the disco records they used to put together the Style Cats soundtrack. Or Kerry Gatt himself.

Not yet, anyway.

Meanwhile, it’s business as usual, and I have every intention of throwing myself back in the mix before I get kicked off of BMXfeed due to inactivity. The new computer will help, because, the old one? Sixty percent of the time it worked, every time.

In the meantime, ESPN’s got this BMX thing on lock anyway.
