Sure, there still are catalogs, but the fact is the internet is taking their place.
Don’t get me wrong I still love catalogs and get many in the mail. Most if not all have website to order from these days but they still print the catalogs. I think they are to remind you to [...]

Oh how I love them!
I have been obsessed with Japan and all it’s goodies for some time now and this obsession is not going away. I don’t know exactly when it started but probably in my sophomore year of high school when I became obsessed with the 1986/87 Toyota Corolla GT-S. This car [...]

Dorkbot SoCal 24
After night after getting drenched in the rare LA rain I was one of the lucky attendees at Dorkbot SoCal 24. Why lucky? Well not everyone gets to tour Mister Jalopy’s secret lair, better known as, Hoopty Rides Inc. It sits nestled beneath a store front in an undescript LA [...]

PDX = Portland to those in the know!
My host, Mr. K, would probably back hand me for calling Portland PDX like some emo hipster, but that’s OK. He can’t reach from where he is. With that said the drive up was long but relatively uneventful. There was one 30 [...]

Taj Mihelich builds a BMX multi-tool!
I recently bought a DK Random Wrench when I was building my cruiser simply because it looked like a great idea and it is. I need swap out a couple of the sockets to make more useful for me, but it’s great. I was poking around some of [...]
