There must be better ways to spend one's time than sipping a martini at the Cincinnati Netherlands Plaza Hilton. But I can't think of any at the moment.

Arrival!, originally uploaded by mrtoastey.

After a short tranverse on bike-unfriendly Iron Works Pike, w're here at the Kentucky Horse Park! 2010 World Equestrian Games fans take heed: You can bike from (or to!) Lexington. Here's the details of my route.

The cool, slightly spooky tunnel under I-75, which ends up in pure beautiful farmland. No monsters, that I can see. Looks like my sunblock is giving out, though.

Next phase of biking to the horse park: actual biking. Its a balmy, beautiful kentucky day; Cicadas, butterflies, the sky, the fields— and of course: thoroughbreds.

A night out in grand rapids MI in the midst of the 2008 Stereo Photogrqphy Convention. Pictured: my grandfather's TDC Colorist 3D camera and (the remains of) a pint of Anderson Valley Summer Solstice microbrew. Delight.

WRFL: How it Went Down PT 1

In the flurry of stuff that seems to always be going on, I nearly forgot to post anything about this documentary that I served as an Associate Producer for. It's a look at the early days of WRFL-FM-88.1, which I helped to start. 20 years later, I worked as the Lexington producer for this bit which owes its existence to producers Kakie Urch and editor-producer Ayser Salman. This is part 1 and here's part 2.
