Agreed, Laphroiag is my favorite Scotch. I rarely spend more than $35 so that is about as good as I drink.

Not inexpensive(but certainly not expensive), I love Laphroiag Cask Strength 10 year; one of my favorite whiskeys of all time(and way smoother than you'd think an overproof would be).

For Irish, I've been in love with John L. Sullivan since the first time I tried it.

Hello!

What do you mean by not too much expensive?

I have a AG-HMC151 from Panasonic,i think its great!I use it also for my job and i am really happy about it!

There is no problem of transfer and works pretty good with final cut.I have it since 2 years so i guess its cheaper right now,but its a professional camera...so between 2 or 3 thousand euros.....

it has differents kinds of HD formats,progressive or interlaced and a Leica optic!!really apreciable!

I use it a lot for events and video-clips,and to upload your clips on the net its perfect coz it uses the conversion H264 (like internet)

it is better as the cameras from Sony HDV.and cheaper....

you can check the quality directly from my videos

Well, in fact they were "Modelo", regular modelo, they´re virtually in every grocery store here in mexico, you can buy it without flashin' ID. I was in highschool, and there were parties every friday, so we went to the local grocery store, buy a six pack and get drunk every time we could.

Welllll...I'll take an uneducated stab and say....Corona??? Or Sol? Tecate? I love Sol myself, and feel that Corona is way overrated (although I hear it's considered piss water down in Mexico), and the last time I drank Tecate? Well, let's say, I won't be going back to Nag's Head, NC anytime soon!

I love Yeungling! Oh, and PBR, haha...As for Hurrican, I can't remember if I have had it or not...I know they sell it around here...Hmmm...may have to drink it on the next installment of "40 Oz. Nonsense"!

You know, my problem with 4 Loko was it fucked me up fast, made me crash, then I was up in the middle of night for hours, not able to sleep! At least now, in my humble opinion, it does taste better, and I can sleep (or pass out), and not wake up for hours!

Jon said:

4 loko was a heaven sent drink for my friends end I.. from what I remember the days of caffeinated loko were pretty much magical... 5hr energy + vodka will have to do now.

thanks :-) i stopped racing when I was pregnant with kid #1 and couldn't fit into my leathers anymore. haven't been on the track a lot since then (10 years ago), mostly track days when I have gotten around to it. Just stopped having as much time. and i think kids definitely tack seconds onto your lap times!!

Hey, Blue Giant Zeta Puppies,

 

The short answer is: If you dig design and your project is pretty straightforward--no images, just straight text like a novel--it'll just take a little research and a couple tries to get something decent. It's actually a lot like web design, but you use XML tags instead of HTML. If you have InDesign and know how to use that, you're in good shape. Search "ebook design," you'll find some tutorials and books. Here's a link to some info to start: http://kindleformatting.com/indesign.php

Super nerdy response:

Basically, you apply XML tags to each element of the page to tell it how to behave. It's a little more complex than just straight layout in InDesign because you have to be precise about the commands for each element. You can either hand-code in a text editing app or export XML out of InDesign. Haven't used Quark in a while, but I think you can export HTML from it. You can download a free plugin for InDesign that will format your file to an EPUB file, which is a format used by lots of e-readers but can be wonky with Kindle. Kindle uses a proprietary format (for now; they'll probably have to ditch that if they want to remain competitive), but it's essentially HTML tags with a few tweaks. You can supposedly upload a Word or TXT file straight to Kindle without any real formatting, but it ends up a hot mess. You can take an EPUB file and use a third-party freeware converter to make it a MOBI file, which works with Kindle.

PDFs are good for reading on a computer, but they're generally not preferred for e-readers. PDFs are static images, and one of the benefits of the e-reader technology is that it's fluid, so you can resize the text to fit your screen/preference. But PDFs are great for graphics-heavy work like comics because you have complete control over the layout (and the file size is small). Graphics-heavy books don't work so well yet in the e-reader formats other than PDF.

Hope that helps. Cheers!

I've heard that one thing about e-books is that they make self publishing much easier, much like downloads made self releasing your music easier......

(Just read Lauren's post)

So what are we talking in terms of design? InDesign? Quark? (say) If I lay out the book to whatever the specs. are and export to (say).PDF?, or some other format, would you (or whoever) take this file and convert it into whatever a Kindle uses? Hmmmmm.....

Crazy sheep, fantastic! What a few phenomenal trips you've had lately. That shot of the Bullet in the Himalayas could have been taken 45 years ago! I love it. Keep the faith!

Troop

Heading to Leh, in Indian Himalayas, with a lovely Bullet 350. Unless you go there, cannot even imagine what's being at 13000 ft asl sourrounded by 20000 ft high mountains. Breathless.

9 friends, 9 bikes, a week, and all the french-spanish border for us. Amazing.

Who said that Spain is always sunny and hot? Rally in Teruel, the most forgotten ( and beauty) province in Spain. -13 ºC at night. This is my bike, a '91 Honda Revere with 110.000 km and running perfectly

OK, i know, my 20 years old revere isn't a classic... yet. It will be nice the day i can get an '74 CB 750, or a Norton Commando, or a Kawasaki Kz1000. Until then, i will ride what i got.

Forever two wheels!

Cheers!

This is from a trip i made to morocco with some friends 6 years ago. They say the V-Strom is perfect for this Mars-like landscapes, but the man on the donkey was leading the race...

Same Trip. My friend run over a paddle and got a new free painting on his bike...

This is the last picture of this bike. Top of Sella Pass, in Italian Alps. Going down it started to snow and hail, i went to the floor and the bike almost goes down the cliff. Dead bike but alive rider.

Yeah Count, you're right. We should post some stuff more often. In my case, it's like 2-3 years without "big" trips, or any change in my bike that worths a comment or a picture. But the best of riding a bike is to comment and remember "old battles" drinking a beer. Don't you think?

So, i'll imagine i'm in a bar and gonna post some old shit and keep this alive.

P.S: tag: drunk. I love it!!!
