JPod by Douglas Coupland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

An odd flow for a book (at times) but it really works. The pages with odd typography and the inclusion of the spam e-mail created an internet-esque stream of consciousness.

Coupland's appearance in the book is an interesting device. I was totally surprised when he showed up, but I it was foreshadowed a little.

The end? Eh... maybe not the greatest, but there were a ton of great hooks throughout the book, e.g., the team's little competitions. He also took characters who do some pretty outrageous things and showed you their human side. There are many shades of grey, even the douchey Steve has a soul.

postprocessing fun with some of my recent photos.

rare sunbeam across my evening dishwashing

springonabike

crisp, sunny spring morning
positive vibe untouched by the call of the mourning dove.
turn the pedals;
locomotion turns to...
fleeting, disposable poetic thoughts.
escaping and being traffic,
dodging shadows, and
turning pedals;
a solar-and-caffeine-powered ride
arrives at its destination.
