2010 Team Gear: Preview
Well, it’s time to start thinking about the 2010 BPR team gear. Why? The new gear entered service just a few months ago, right? Yes neophyte. But the new gear is now old gear and I get bored easily. I’m already working on a new bike design, so I should start working on new BPR… Read More 2010 Team Gear: Preview

(Via Wikipedia, “In theory, a pantomath is not to be confused with a polymath in its less strict sense, much less with the related but very different terms philomath and know-it-all.”) I copyrighted the term ‘Meadow of the Witch’ a while back to… Read More Meadow of the Witch
