Android Prisoner

When I first got my Android Tablet I couldn't put the thing down. I guess now I understand what it's like to have a smart phone. You see the people all the time. On the bus. On a street corner, peering down into their device, seemingly oblivious to the world around them. I never really understood it till I got my Android. Now, when I'm at the crib, the device sits next to me, ready for my next query into cyberspace.


Life inside of the machine. Kind of feel that way from time to time. Contact with the outside world solely thru Facebook, sure, what the fuck is wrong with that? ( Don't answer. ) All of my creativity funneled thru YouTube, fucking A right. Costs less than painting, right? My hands never leave the keyboard while I'm at work. More and more it feels like I live in there, inside of the computer.


Tron explored the concept as a total immersion scenario. Can't say how many Cyberpunk stories have looked at the same thing. The reality is, it's no longer fiction. We live inside the machine on a day to day basis. For better or worse, that is our new reality.


So, I shot a video. Touched the "Life Inside" theme just a bit.

Night Bike



Ok, So I think my Schwinn Traveler has become my night time bike.

  

The lamps are just way too cool for the daytime.

The Mechanic

The Nearly New Bicycle Shop found me a vintage B&W Schwinn saddle.  Nice. Just what I was looking for.
So as I'm dealing with the guys on the saddle, I start looking at a bike up in the front. Turns out it's the mechanic's. It's a green Typhoon, with new composite wheels and a racing saddle. I'm like, "Oh no you don't have a Schwinn generator on the rear wheel." I've got one for my bike. But I'm looking at it and I'm like, "Where's the headlamp?"





The mechanic comes over and say's "Check this out." He picks up the rear end and gives the wheel a spin. On comes this blue neon light under the top tube. I'm like, "Oh no you don't have a blue neon light under your top tube." He's like, "Oh yes I do!" 

Too freakin cool. 



So out I go and I come back with both of my bikes. 

Here's the list I gave to the mechanic: 
Mount new saddle
Mount brake levers
Wrap bars
Remove chain guard
Remove rear rack
Remove toe clips
Remove reflectors
Mount generator
Mount front and rear lamp
Mount blue LED
Tune 

Dude!

Schwinn Traveler - Bike Project

I'm shooting for a 70's retro 10 speed. I was at Haven Jr High up in Evanston back in like 1972. One day Eric Gant showed up with his Schwinn Varsity's handle bars turned up. The next day everybody turned up their handle bars just like Eric.  I'm going for the same look now.











Last night I went over to the Nearly New Bike Store on Broadway with my old seat and basket.

 

Ron gave me $10 cash money.  He said to give him a call back tomorrow afternoon. He's got to check his storage unit for the vintage Schwinn seat. He thinks he's got one in black, if not he'll find me one in red.

See next post for a photo of the seat I'm talking about:

Bike Project

It's been a little over three weeks since my nasal surgery. The bleeding has completely stopped. I've been on the wagon for a week, which probably has helped. I'm starting to feel strong. I've been poking around with my bike project and wanting to complete it so I can go for a ride. Tonight I am going to the used bike shop to see if I can barter for a vintage seat. 

This is the seat I am looking for:
