Arte De Timo

Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • Attempt 2: Fail (But better than Attempt 1). Progress.

    Getting closer! This is just a teaser of something in the works. Not quite ready for the light yet, but wanted to share a preview.

  • The economics of a rain barrel

    My water company charges $2.99 for a unit of water, which is defined as 100 cubic feet, or 748.5 gallons. This breaks down to just under 4 tenths of one cent per gallon of water that comes through the pipes. So what do we get for that 0.4 cents? We get water from a local…

  • Wooden Bike Saddle??

    I think the MFA program did something to my head, because somewhere in the processes of dreaming this up I concluded it was a good idea to actually do it…

  • Clearing away some bike grime

    I’ve been doing a little digging online and cleaning on the bike in search of clues as to what the old orange bike used to be. I’ll add pics later. Bicycle Parts Info: The bike is from 1954 an was probably a Raleigh Sports or maybe a Club. Or, maybe it was a Speedwell from…

  • An odd old road bike.

    I picked this up a few weeks ago off The classified site. Not really sure what it is, but has some high end parts and oddities. Not super rare and not in great shape, but the gearing, even with all that goop and dust all over it is smooth. The frame has lost it’s original…
