I’m starting to post my old radio show to the site.. it was a fun (?!) experiment and I loved the interactions..

The station was 93.9FM in the Hudson River Valley and I was a digitally connected “Mixologist” broadcasting live from the sunny Okanagan in to their “drive to work” time slot.

I had to get up at 3am to prep myself and proof my scripting (I hate hearing the “uhmmm” of dead mind space so I thought out what I wanted to say, wrote it out, and prepped it over and over before saying it live) so I’d be live at 4am.. if you can see the track names, you’ll notive that the last few numerical designations are usually 400 or 359 or something like that.. that’s the time I would flip the switch and take over broadcast from the previous mixologist. 

I seem to remember a show I had to keep going for awhile.. but not sure.

Anyhow, after a year and changing job situations, I had to give it up. I’ll be posting these sporadically.. and sharing thoughts as I go.

Head to Ocean Cyclist to listen to the show

Circa 1999!
About twenty five years ago.. I published a small rag that covered the entire Thompson- Okanagan valley for Arts and Entertainment! I loved that little rag.. I loved meeting and talking to artists.. and hob- nobbing with business peeps to create their ads and push my paper in to their customers collection points.

I had a vision..  I brought in friends to help out.. and that was my undoing!

Today..
I am resurrecting The Standard Exhibit as an Arts and Entertainment periodical but with MUCH GREATER coverage!

I am combining articles sourced from the soon to launch web portal of sustainability growth Savage Progress and The Standard Exhibit in to a quarterly PRINT magazine that will get distributed to hundreds of points in many major Canadian cities as well as direct- dropped to select destinations.. AND it’ll be available as a Google Slideshow Presentation (Google Doc, essentially) for those in outlying areas that wanna get and read an issue. And.. each issue will be enhanced with a HYBRID event streamed to an online audience through Stream- 0- Thon .. a 30 hour “telethon” with funds going to support Ocean Cyclist!

I’ll be hosting casting calls and talent searches.. so, watch out for specifics coming soon. All Castings, Calls, and Expressions of Interest will only be accepted through Ocean Cyclist.. to keep it all simple.

So.. it’s morning..

Haven’t felt really *great* lately.. I’ve been workingout every second day without much growth/ success aside from seeing my Kmph climb from low- 18Kmpg to mid 22Kmph averages which hey- that’s a pretty big difference over the course of a couple months… I chalk it all up to…

Muscle Memory!

And I’ll be starting a weightlifting regimen shortly to bring back my shoulders, abs, and all those other parts of my frame that I’ve forgotten about over the years of owrking at a desk.. a hand crafters desk. And today.. I’m gonna talk (again) about Monks Coffee… It’s a great way to boost the calories first thing in the morning.

For my recipe, I take 1 or 2 tablespoons of honey with one or two table spoons of butter (on the journey, it’ll be GHEE for shelf life).. and blend that in my.. blender (again- on the journey, I’ll have~ either~ a rip- cord blender or a USB powered blender). It’s about 300 cal instead of zero and the fats help the body.

A week ago today I brought it back in to my diet- kinda like a Sunday Morning treat and.. lo and behold- my training spin lasted 120 minutes, without issue (lately I’ve been getting too bored or my wrists hurt too much to last much longer than 90mins).

So….
I’m going to be reaching out to cafes and suchlike along training routes to collaborate on Night Markets and/ or special events to promote Ocean Cyclist- I’m going to offer said cafes the recipe and title it “Captains Coffee” .. with proceeds going to… Ocean Cyclist!

So, I’ve been playing around a *teensy* bit with web hooks.. thanks to the “Webhooks for dummies’ company IFTTT.. and it is SOOOO cool! 

So, this is the post that’ll eventually show up at all my sites.. from here, it goes to my Bluesky profile thanks to an app that shares automagically from here to there.. so long as I have a Feature Image and this feature image… 

NAME MY BOAT!!!

This post also goes, unpublished, to 5(five!) other sites that I am developing.. including Savage Progress, Wet Pedals, and more. I’m psyched with the connectionism since.. I see Savage Progress as my RETIREMENT plan! I mean, Ocean Cyclist will only take two to three years (at 4Kn/ hr, 14 hr pedalling days I should be pissing about on the oceans for 375 passage days.. with another few days thrown in for “breaks and explorations” and then.. who knows so… two years. not three. It might be three if I switch out my propellers for.. other materials ).

Anywho…
with this post I am testing out the PAUSED infrastructure. As in- this is posted as a DRAFT to the next site in the chain (Savage Progress) and the task is to see (I have 99.9% certainty but.. I want a full experiential guarantee) if 1. it’ll post through as a DRAFT and 2. when I set the post as LIVE on SavageProgress.. does it, then, post through to the other sites?

Having some fun.. spread the news.. I’m PSYCHED for what is on the horizon- a LOT of work but it’s what I am passionate about so.. is it really work?!?!
