Melody's Musings

Stuff that catches my fancy and random, sorted thoughts from the inner scrambles of my mind.

What you may expect to find here are what I consider good taste and some of the best in photography, philosophy, humor, art, architecture, food, music, poetry, literature and dance. I hope you like some of the things I enjoy.

I like anything to do with good design such as interior design, architecture, photography, and art. I enjoy philosophy and psychology. I love to figure out what makes individuals tick. Music of most all types but particularly classical, world, pop, acoustic guitar is a big part of my life and add some dance to the music and my day is great! I like to write and occasionally I will write poetry and I really love to read it out loud and I even record it sometimes.

I'm a Myers-Briggs type ENFJ which means I love people and have a great interest in them.

I guess you could say I'm a humanities kind of person. :)

    UBC’s Ultra-Sleek Coren Urban Bike is Manufactured from High Tensile-Strength Carbon Fibers German carbon component manufacturer UBC GmbH resides in a world of incredibly fast, highly-engineered cars, supplying parts to companies like LeMans, DTM, Formula 1, Audi, Bugatti and Porsche. So it’s a treat to see the company try their hand at two-wheeled transportation with the Coren. Crafted from high tensile-strength T1000 carbon fibers that take 40 hours of hands-on man power to create, the Coren recently picked up the ISPO Brand New Award for 2012. But offered at $32,000, the bike is almost certainly more of a work of art than a consumer item. The Coren is sleek in looks and performance, weighing in at a mere 17 pounds. The UBC desginer, Christian Zanzotti expresses this lightness through super-slim top and down tubes. The bicycle is also unique because every part of its manufacture takes place on the UBC premises in a clean-room setting in accordance with motor sport and premium construction standards. Not every component of Coren is made by UBC however. The company has collaborated with German manufacturers such as Tune, Schmolke, BOR, and Trickstuff and American companies like ENVE and Gates to produce this exceptional bicycle. With it’s remarkable materials and quality of craft along with attention to detail such as the CNC-milled fork ends with integrated belt tensioners, rear light optionally integrated into the seat tube and cowhide-covered saddle and handle bars, it’s no wonder that the Coren recently won the ISPO Brand New Award for 2012.
