Camera flash is used to reflect all the frame and spoke tape I've applied.

Was going watch Children of Men tonight (due to the recent dystopian action of the US and UK governments) but maybe I need to check that out.

If you've ever enjoyed any Cohen bros movie (Raising Arizona, Fargo, Barton Fink, No Country for Old Men, O Brother Where Art Thou, etc etc) then yes, it's absolutely worth watching. If you've never seen a Cohen bros movie, Big Lebowski is as good a place to start as any.
I have a friend that used to throw annual Big Lebowski parties, where everybody is supposed to show up in a bathrobe and he would serve White Russians and In-n-Out while we all watched the movie. The movie is based on a real guy, although I think it's a fictional plot to play around with that kooky character.
I've seen Children of Men, and it was pretty good. Not Cohen bros good, but good enough that I remember seeing it (which says a lot actually)

Reminded me of living in Texas.
Children of Men is one of the few film adaptations from a book that I was pleased with.

The Big Lebowski is a must-see movie. Perhaps one must see it every year.

Late to the party, but the prize does not appear to have been awarded. Here is my commuter right now.

@spencewine, what do you think of that conversion? I considered doing that with mine but didn't end up trying it. I don't have it any more.
