Scooter World hits newsstands

2sb received the first issue of Scooter World Magazine over the weekend, and aside from a “So You’re Buying a Scooter” article that contradicts pretty much everything we said in our article, Geoff and his team did a nice job. It appears to be aimed mainly at new scooterists and twist-and-go riders, and features reviews of the Kymco Super9 and the Aprilia Mojito, along with new products, tech advice from Daniel and Jack of Sportique, and even some recipes.

Fire Clinches MLS East

The Chicago Fire beat Columbus 2-0 in their first game back at Soldier Field Friday, clinching their conference and home-field advantage for the playoffs. Their last regular-season game is Saturday the 18th at Soldier Field. What? Is there something else happening in Chicago sports? Oh, right! The Blackhawks won their opener. And good luck to Sue-Ann and Jen in the marathon!

2sb: “Hey, guy!”
Guy: “Yeah? Look, I’m really…”
2sb: “no, I just wanna say I’ve been riding for seven years and have been dangerously cut off by hundreds of people, and you’re the first person ever to apologize, thanks!”
Guy: “Yeah? Wow. Uhhh. OK then.”
So that was cool until ten minutes later when a van whizzed by within a couple inches of me and the guy tried to smack me in the head for fun. People are neat.

Bloggingworks

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to attend the
BloggingWorks workshop run by Coudal Partners
and 37 Signals. It was enlightening to see how weblogs can be used by business, and I had many opportunities to share my wisdom, surely the high points of the day, ha. If you’re a weblogger and are interested in transferring these skills to your day job or freelance work, it’s worth checking out. Jack Vinson took some notes at the presentation, a weblog in itself (Death to Powerpoint!). Sooner or later, all this work is going to pay off Bwahahaha.

Almost Vegas 2002

The Agents of Indianapolis and the Ten Year Lates of Cincinnati are hosting their annual ALMOST VEGAS rally this weekend, in Indiana just downriver of Cincinnati. I hear it might be your last chance to fondle Adam Biddle as a Cincinnatian.
