Going all loopy about loupes
Perhaps something interesting for Jutta: various magnifying glasses and a pocket microscope are examined here. The pocket microscope is especially interesting because the stand base can be removed and then you can use it as a 50x magnifying glass for free observation of surfaces, even if the surfaces are not flat. And the small folding magnifying glass with 3x element also sounds very interesting. Here you can find the original article.
Well, Tour 2004 over
And? Hmm. Armstrong is getting boring. Robotniks are never really that exciting - not the American ones either. Klöden is likeable and put in a great performance. Basso has improved significantly in the time trial and from the looks of it, Bjarne Riis could still get even more out of him. Ullrich must stay off the podium - serves him right.
Most annoying people in the Tour: McEwen and the commentators. Oh man, what kind of stupid stuff did those guys spout again. And all this hype around Jan Ullrich is really bothering me. Instead of focusing on the sport, the commentators dutifully mourned their inflated unfulfilled hopes. And McEwen is just a boor.
For next year? I'd like to see fewer crashes and more favorites who actually make it to Paris and fight their way through in between. With a Tyler Hamilton and an Alexander Vinokurov in the race, things could have looked different.
