Pretty Loaded

back in the land of dial-up, websites took forever to load. a new art form emerged: preloaders.

Pretty Loaded is an archive of preloaders that preload other preloaders...which in turn reveal yet more preloaders...it's a tribute to a vanishing art form amid a constantly changing digital landscape.

Republic Bikes

ehhh i know i know, another post about a bike, but i kinda want one of these, too. hah. i like that it has the option of a freewheel (otherwise it'd be a no-go for me). i know you get what you pay for so the parts may not be the best, but i'm also not looking for a super expensive bike when i only spend an hour a day on it. so please head over to Republic Bike and build this one for me. email me for my shipping address. thanks!
