So I was recently on the road, like you do. You know, doing road stuff, just like Mel Gibson. I was about five miles from my destination when a tire pressure warning light came on for one of my tires being slightly low. I thought to myself "Meh, I&
It was a little bittersweet this year as some of my favorite book series seem to be winding down. With that I also read some old favorites again and tried to branch out a bit this year. I may be a goose, but that doesn’t mean I can’t
Books come and go, but gooses last forever. At least that is what I hear the French say. I was honestly a little sad there were so many distractions in 2022 that kept me from reading more. My “Books to Read” list is ever growing and it would have been
Steve the Pirate passed away suddenly last week. My heart has been very heavy. He was my first pet and a part of my life for the past 13 years. I adopted him as a little kitten. I was told he had been abandoned by his mother and was found
More books! Did I do anything else through the pandemic? No, nothing at all. 1. The Third Industrial Revolution – Jeremy Rifkin 2. Who Not How – Dan Sullivan and Benjamin Hardy 3. The 360 Degree Leader – John C. Maxwell 4. Raising an Emotionally Intelligent Child – John Gottman 5. Unbowed – D.J.
Some low hanging fruit posts. I figure now that we are all stumbling back out from our pandemic hibernation you would be interested in what books I read. So here’s what I read in 2020. 1. The Phoenix Project – Gene Kim, Kevin Behr, George Shepherd 2. The Desert and
Just kidding. But not really. I didn’t actually trade my server for TP. I saw the poo tide rising and beat the crowd in stocking up at the start of the pandemic. You could say I keep a clean poop deck. Did you really come back to this website
I’m listing off the books I read this year because I feel like it. I’ve been rolling through the Emberverse this year and look forward to finishing it this year. Definitely the longest story series I’ve ever read. I’m not sure what I’ll read when
So I was able to get the images restored. Hooray! I even got the old theme back for the heck of it. I dunno if I’ll go looking at any new themes or not. I’ve had the last two days off of work. Just a staycation before the
My webhost was hacked. Thankful for my backups. Considering it took me six months to bring the site back up and online it shows what a small priority it has become. Which is a shame, I just can’t bring myself to shut it down though. This site has been
I didn’t even mean it! That’s how good of a hacker I am. Just kidding. I did cause my host to go down and got my account all suspended like. Cause I’m a lazy jerk. You see this website is quite old. Currently there are posts going
I don’t know what The Vampire Diaries are. Judging by the photo it looks like a cheap knock off of True Blood, probably sprinkled with some sparkly vampire ala Twilight. So nothing worth watching. Anyways it’s a catchy catch phrase and includes a young attractive woman in a
This is the fourth book in the series and seems like it is the last. This is sad and quizzical at the same time. Out of the Black Odyssey One by Evan Currie continues the adventures of the Odyssey crew and their galactic war against a relentless army bred for
Amazon had this book on one of it’s daily deal sales and the blending of war and philanthropy sounded interesting. It Happened on the Way to War by Rye Barcot shares the story of the author growing up. He gains from mother a desire to help others through philanthropy
Amazon recommended this book to me. I didn’t think much as I read the description. But then I looked at the cover of Ground Zero: A Zombie Apocalypse by Nicholas Ryan and quote caught my eye: Hey! That D.J. Molles guy is the one that wrote that book

Yesterday would have been my grandfather’s 94th birthday. It’s weird to think about that, let alone write it out. I miss him a great deal. While everyone else was thinking and talking about the 2001 tragedy I was thinking of him. It may be selfish of me but

I read 47 Ronin by John Allyn as the smash hit movie about Tom Cruise running through Japan a white guy in Japan was about to hit theaters. The story of 47 Ronin has many variations that have arisen over the years so I figured the movie would be nothing

Amazon seems to be hell bent on having me read every single teen sci-fi book out there. Meta by Tom Reynolds. Alien bands give humans extraordinary powers, and our teen protagonist gets the best bands of the lot, giving him a number of powers. This is surprisingly some of the

I read Sufficiently Advanced Technology by Christopher Nuttall in February this year. I found this book on Amazon’s daily deals and picked it up since it has an interesting premise. A technologically advanced space faring human empire comes across a world without technology, instead having magic. The writing is

In January and February I read Rainbows End by Vernor Vinge. It was recommended to me by a friend out on the east coast. He’s a guy that loves to get all the new gadgets and loves to talk geek with you. He also rides bikes so he’s

Nail biting is probably the first habit I ever picked up and definitely the first bad habit I picked up. I was very young, probably in elementary school. I have no actual memories of a time before I bit my nails. I’ve wanted to quit for years. I hate

I cried four times this year at Pelotonia. The first came Friday night at the opening ceremony. The video was beginning to play. I was excited since I knew I was going to be in the video and was looking forward to seeing myself on the big screen. How exciting!

Pelotonia has come and gone. After my tailbone injury slowing my training I had to cut the 180 mile ride back to 102. Even this length would be 40 miles longer than any ride I had completed. The lack of training for ten weeks showed me how much can be

I’ve been angry lately. Real angry. It has been difficult to deal with and I don’t really have an outlet to get this anger out. Now normally I’d just point this anger towards some random topic and come up with a great and amazingly funny post to

So I’m already off to a good start this year. That list will be gone in no time! Getting this post up rather late, but better than never. – Buy a road bike. Got a super duper deal and one hell of a bike. A 2009 Scott CR1 Pro. Hells

This past week I became Network+ Certified. Hooray! Another raise and this swanky graphic to swing around. Spanked it. Well I didn’t spank it I’ll be honest. I suppose it would be more accurate to say I love tapped the exam. I am after all a lover, not
