Who is the Superest of them all?
This simple question serves as the premise behind a delightful game being waged between Kevin Cornell (of Bearskinrug and ALA fame) and Matthew Sutter (hailing from sunny InkFinger). Basically, one player draws a hero with a super(esque) power, then the opposing player draws a hero with a power that trumps the first. This goes on and on, deep into the realms of absurdity and glory. It’s not unlike Extreme Rock, Paper, Scissors… but with really terrific drawings. Have a look!
An Extraordinary Machine

Yesterday evening, I became the proud owner of a used GT ZR3000: a glorious concoction of aluminum, rubber and carbon fiber with a glossy blue and white paint job. This is by no means the Ferrari of bicycles, but it is my first serious road bike and it represents many happy miles to come. I took it out to West Creek last night for a spin and compared to what I had been riding, it was pure bliss.
I’ve been into mountain biking since my high school days, but just started riding on the road over the summer. A couple of buddies had gotten into it and were kind enough to let me tag along. Turns out, there are a number of really nice areas to ride around Richmond. It’s an entirely different activity than trail or downhill riding, but I think I’m starting to get the hang of it…
Wanna ride?
Christmas Came Early

The Bryant Family Library had a major addition over the weekend. We made our traditional fall pilgrimage to the Green Valley Book Fair and spent more than a few hours drooling over the printed page in all its glory. By far, the catch-of-the-day was this beautiful 12-volume collection of domus magazine – the premier Italian magazine for architecture and design for over 75 years. It contains selected articles from 1928 – 1999. My wife’s parents were nice enough to get it for us as an early Christmas present, and it promptly became one of our most prized possessions.
There’s just something so thrilling about seeing your design heroes described as “up and coming”.
