I know it's been quiet on the Perpenduum front for a bit but it's only because we've been so busy that we've even forgotten our birthday! Perpenduum was registered two years ago on August 21st, 2007.

Particularly liking his video showing the most used words in the Billboard Top 5 during the years of each presidential administration from 1950 to 2006. He's incredibly talented and a real Gentleman.)

[caption id="attachment_1259" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Oregon Manifest"][/caption] Oregon Manifest is the red letter event in the capitol of the bicycling world. This event spans from October 2 all the way through November 8th, promising six weekends of celebrating of the art, craft, and community of bicycling. Of the events, I'm most excited about the Constructor's Design Challenge. This is a competition that invites extreme ingenuity to bicycle building that aims to smash together a Venn diagram of combined performance, utility, and aesthetics. Registration is open until July 31st and we're already seeing a phenomenal list of legendary frame-builders rising to ...

On May 6th, Stanford's d.school is hosting a book launch lecture and reception for Dev Patnaik's Wired to Care. The book explores the role of empathy and human-centric design principles for driving successful business practice and strategy. Dev Patnaik is an alum of the Stanford Product Design program, founder/principal at Jump Associates, and adjunct professor at Stanford University. I had the pleasure of being in his Needfinding class... one of the results of this class included a drum machine for dogs using the Arduino platform, some piezoelectric sensors, Ardrumo, Garage Band, a MIDI library, and a speaker ...

[caption id="attachment_1161" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Dr. Jon Cagan"][/caption] The next speaker in the David H. Liu Lecture Series in Design at Stanford is Dr. Jon Cagan.

Both books skillfully navigate the arc from the fuzzy front end of product development all the way up to program approval. The texts also bridge the chasm between qualitative and quantitative ...

The first Tweed Run took place in London recently with about 150 cyclists wearing tweeds and the like. A veritable Gentleman's Whiskey and Chat on two wheels. We need to bring this stateside. Any takers?

Still got it by David Goligorsky

Woody Allen wrote a mock diary for his filming of Vicky Christina Barcelona, which was featured in the New York Times. While the nature of his films has drastically strayed from his early work, his writing is right on target. [caption id="attachment_606" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Scarlett Johansson and Woody Allen"][/caption] By the way, Scarlett Johansson is just 5 days older than me. I think it's in the stars. Update: Woody Allen is 5 days younger than me (plus 49 years).

[caption id="attachment564" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Moscot"][/caption] Established in 1915 in Manhattan's Lower East Side, Moscot's is still producing fantastic eyewear in the traditional style. Prices are reasonable, to boot. New York is home to three storefronts.
