Endura Humvee Baggy Short

Part 2 in a, well, 2 part expose on my 2 pair of shorts quest to find a decent pair of riding shorts. The Endura Humvee are on the slightly more expensive side at $80, so I bet you are wondering if they are worth it. Luckily, the last fella in the world that should be reviewing things is here to help you through this difficult time in your life.

Hoss Ponderosa Short

I am currently in the middle of my "get ready for the riding season spring buying spree" and picked up a pair of these Ponderosa shorts. Ya see, I am on a slight mission this season to find the perfect pair of riding shorts - and so far, these are in the lead. Plus they make me look much cooler than I actually am. Next up for review: Endura Hummvee Baggy Shorts.

Read the review.

And I gotta say, it's brilliant.

Photos, Exif, GPS and You

Yeah, that's right, Electric Eye. This is either the most freaking awesome advancement in Crankfire technology ever, or an almost entire waste of time, or something that is so-so that some of you may like, while others will have no idea what is going on. So what's up? We now support gps-Exif! Now calm down, relax, yes, I understand how exciting this is, I know, I know... baby steps. Ok, in a nutshell, we now read and write geographic data from and to the photos you upload. You should really humor me and make an attempt to read about it. Though I am pretty sure "worst.... feature.... ever" applies.
