A friend of mine hooked me up with a fun and well-paying modeling gig with the Versus TV network. They're the channel that shows sports like hunting, fishing, extreme fighting, and of course, professional bike racing. I was completely thrilled to be their face of the Tour de France this year. It was a great experience to see how these things are made from the inside. Plus, I got to see my mug about 1,000 times during the month of July. Too bad it was day after day of heartbreaking drug scandals.
I grabbed a few URLs for about 7 bucks each just for the heck of it. I have a lot of PayPal money to burn from a flurry of ebay auctions. I may try a different blog software for each one, just to test out the new features. The URLs are:
www.bikeisthenewblog.com -- A place to stash my bike commuting, bike racing, bike lifestyle, and bike tech thoughts. The URL is a play on Pink is the New Blog of course.
www.bikeisthenewgreen.com -- Because I couldn't decide if I should focus on the environmental benefits of bikes, rather than any old topic. I think I could get some good traffic if I focused a bit. I believe bikes are one of the easiest ways to improve a community, alieviate traffic, save gas, and get some extra excersize in the process.
www.bittmania.com -- A silly reference to Mark Bittman from the New York Times. Bittman is the Minimalist food columnist who so many New Yorkers follow religiously. I'll use it as a place to poke fun of the foodie scene in the City, and comment on the writings of Frank Bruni, Burros, Fabricant, Asimov and Bittman himself. If you know these names, put down the Times and back away slowly. I'll stash some of my own ideas on cooking, booze, other lifestyle bits, and stuff about Top Chef.
