RIP, Gab Gaskell...

Yesterday was a sad day for us at TSP (Tiklop Society of the Philippines). We've learned that a fellow biker died from an accident. RIP comrade Gab Gaskell! :(

I remember that I rode with him at least twice, sometime last May, during TSP's LSD (Lingguhang Sikad sa Diliman). I was able to talked to him during those two occasions, specially the ride-out going back to UP Oblation as where he usually park his vehicle nearby.

As a fellow blogger also, this is my way of paying tribute to him. Goodbye fellow biker and blogger, Gab Gaskell. We at TSP will surely miss you!

As a keepsake from those rare occasions that we've met, I'll keep one of his pictures showing my Dahon Metro foldie as shown below from one of his blogs...

Hopefully I'll be able to travel her more often. And if time and budget permits, outside of Metro Manila too.

TresCinco

Just about a week ago, March 5, I finally acquired my first ever folding bike. Though it's only a 2nd hand Japan surplus, it's a Dahon Metro. Almost exactly the same with this.

The pics...

As I got it last March 5, thus came the "TresCinco" as its name. :-)

Pentax announces K-01 K-mount APS-C mirrorless camera

*pronounced ‘kay- zero-one’

Pentax has formally announced the K-01 K-mount mirrorless interchangable lens camera and a revised 40mm F2.8 pancake lens to match. Built around a 16MP APS-C sensor, the camera can mount most of the lenses the company has ever made. It features sensor-shift image stabilization, a 920k dot rear LCD and can shoot at up to 6 frames per second. The rather interesting design is the work of respected product designer Marc Newson and features a logo of his signature on the base of the camera. The K-01 (which the company says should be pronounced 'kay-zero-one'), will cost around $749 body-only and $899 with the 'XS' version of the 40mm lens.
