C’était un rendez-vous (It was a date)

I find myself watching this every few months, and we were talking about it on the ride home from Red River. This is short film is a genuine love story; I hope everyone has someone pulling them this strongly.

Filmed with a Mercedes; dubbed with the gorgeous Ferrari; and driving along this route — all tiny details to be ignored! Paris is a fitting backdrop.

Cannon-Sized Slingshot Fires 80mm Steel Shot

Shared by Frank
I wish this guy was my neighbor! Awesome craftsmanship! 1080p is worth it.

For those of you without metric intuition, 80mm is about π inches. For those of you without metric intuition who flunked geometry, it’s about 3.14 inches. Which am big. Like, cannonball-sized.

And yes, it’s Jörg Sprave again, who many of you will recognize as the mad slingshot genius who brought us machete- and circular-saw-blade-flinging incarnations of his weapon of choice earlier in the year. We who are about to click salute you, Jörg. [via Hack a Day]

Four Friends Reveling in Red River

Best labor day weekend every! Rides up the ski lift, The Mother Lode, sitting by the river, swimming, napping, and a great Surrey ride, great food (Thanks Kevin for mad-chef-skills), and all-around great company.

The four of us standing near a tree, but you can't see it :(
