Finish Line Report: TexasMan X-50
Last weekend, the triathlon world was buzzing with quite a few races (especially Ironman Texas, which, it seems, always has at least some notoriety surrounding it).

These Late Hours…Believe
This is a loose and somewhat trippy writer's update. If you're at all interested in young adult fiction, the apocalypse, chalk street art, or perhaps the most hypnotic and soul-stirring French electronic album released this year, then please, come right in.
