How Social Media Altered My Brain
Nothing to do with bicycles, just and interesting observation about how social media has altered my brain. Sleepily at 6 this morning, I engaged in my daily ritual of making coffee. Alas, I forgot to take the top off my coffee grinder and dumped beans all over the counter. Beyond the normal Homeric, Doh! my first thought was, hey this would make a good Facebook post. So I grabbed my phone and took a picture which I immediately posted. Now fully caffeinated, I am both bemused and horrified that I have started to view the events in my life through the prism of Facebook and their potential to be status updates. I am also thinking it is time for an adventure. If the most minor domestic snafu’s are the best things I have to offer the world of social media it is definitely time to mix things up. What do you think? has social media altered your brain?

Yes! I do the same thing! It’s kind of creepy, in a way. But all in all, I’m a fan of the medium. We are evolving before our own eyes.

If I had a mind I’d begin to worry…adventure is found in many forms, i.e .reading a book, taking a trip or even making coffee! I hope you got your caffine!

(Sports) I have rlaely enjoyed this bike….be forewarned you do get what you pay for here. If something breaks, it is very difficult to attain the correct part, and hopefully you have resourceful family members who can find and rig suitable replacements. The inner tubes lasted a surprisingly long time(considering I ride about 10-15 hrs a week on very rough terrain.)FYI A nail gun nail actually did one of them in…not the terrain. A few problems with the gears not locking into place, but then again, with that you get what you pay for. All in all, it will take a pretty good beating…and I have enjoyed the increase in speed and NOT having to stand up and pump to go up every hill.
