I am currently working on a Master's of Education focusing on Technology in Education. Seems only appropriate since I work in IT. I enjoy riding my motorcycle and basically work so I can afford it. If I could get paid to ride around the country sampling fine local cuisine, I'd have to give up my current job.

Spelling doesn’t matter, as long as the other person gets what you’re talking about.

Virtual Addiction is REAL!

This really hit me today when I noticed a wall post from someone I know (in the real world).  They stated that they’d be gone for the weekend, but not to worry if anyone saw posts from them because they had asked someone to take care of their farm.  This is s VIRTUAL farm mind [...]

Ah, spam chat box, how I want to chat with you…

Ok, so I’ve occasionally gotten this and generally I ignore them…  This time I decided to respond.  Notice how the spam chat box responds so eloquently to my answers.

Political Correctness

This post started from this simple thought “at what point does being Politically Correct infringe on Free Speech”.  That thought has grown considerably and this day before Thanksgiving and I begin to wonder at what point to being Politically Correct, for fear of offending someone, begin to infringe on other rights?  Please feel free to [...]

Helmets – not just for motorcycles anymore.

Ok, so I guess I should first apologize for all my readers who have been abducted by aliens.  I’m sorry you’ve had a horrifying experience, I hope you recover.  I’ll make a list of where to get the materials needed.
Sometimes you come across a site that is just too good not to share and to [...]

Kids these days…

So, my son was telling his mom (my wife) about this poem.  It was something simple and I didn’t hear it all, but when you read the first word of every line it had a hidden message.  Reminded me of something I found a while back and thought I’d share it.  The poem goes like [...]

If this is a sign of what’s to come…

… God help us all.
Ok, I just happened across this story and I find it ludicrous that someone would even think of this.  So, here’s the link and my comment about it.

You have GOT to be kidding me!  Maybe she should try developing a personality and take some responsibility.  As it is, I KNOW [...]

Horse tits

he pulls up along side and tell me his wife said something fell off the bike. Hmm… I glance over and sure enough, the plastic cover for his tape deck is gone. I point it out and he just stares for a couple of seconds then says.

Horse tits!

Why bikers wave.

I recently went on a motorcycle trip.  Nice trip down to South Carolina to visit a friend of mine.  480 miles from my house to his without incident, without problem, and with a whole bunch o’ wind and pavement beneath the tires.
It was a much needed vacation for me, some time alone to reflect and [...]

Identifying bear droppings.

As conversations tend to go around me (in some twisted and illogical pattern) we ended up with discussing bear scat.
Ah, now I remember, the conversation started with the camera mount I recently bought for my motorcycle.  I bought it with the intention of using it on my road trip this coming weekend.  After all, what [...]
