(sniff sniff?) Ahhh. It must be time!

Saturday, March 31st, 2007

Oh yeah, I can smell it. Barbeque. Some of the best. Served up and consumed by some of the finest people one could ever meet.
It’s the Gathering Of The Fools. Essentially, the Saturday closest to April 1st, a bunch of us biker-types are invited to the Houston area where Hotglue and Flamingobabe open their home [...]

Death and the Lowest Bidder

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

I’m sure by now that everybody’s heard about the massive pet food recall. Essentially, there is one maker that manufactures over 100 brands of “wet” dog and cat foods. Information is still coming in, but apparently rat poison contaminated a key ingredient in food packaged between December 1 and early March. Possibly millions of pounds [...]

Something in the air

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

The temperature’s up.
The humidity is opressive.
The occasional cool breeze reminds me there are opposing forces at play.
Electricity is in the air, and the night promises interesting things to come…especially to the west.
It’s time to ride.
I’ll see you on the road.

Gremlins…

Friday, March 23rd, 2007

There’s an old tradition among the long distance riders. I’ve no idea where or how it started, but it did. Basically, a small bell is hung low and forward on your machine. It keeps the gremlins off.
Yep. I carry one.
The gremlins are hungry. This one is about worn out!

How to Lose a Customer In One Easy Step.

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Y’all (that’s a technical term) may have gathered from my writings that I can be kind of rough on cell phones.
My current phone has fallen off a cliff into a lake (in the pocket of my heavy leather jacket while I was wearing it of course), slid 50+ feet down a concrete bankment (fortunately it [...]

A new story…

The engineer sat quietly to the side and wondered if it was okay that he believed in magic…

Disturbing

Tuesday, March 13th, 2007

Regardless of how you or I feel about the drug war, the thing that is not debatable is that the drugs are out there. With the current price, regulations, and taxes on cigarettes, the handmade kind of the five-leaved variety are actually competetive in price.
Interesting, that. Scary too, considering the sheer effort, Constitutional dilution, and cash [...]

Wrench Day

Monday, March 12th, 2007

Sunday was a “wrench day” for the Dallas/Fort Worth area Texas VRCC. These are always a good time. A bunch of us get togther, usually by meeting for breakfast or lunch or something, then we work on motorcycles. New or less mechanically inclined riders get a chance to learn something about how to work on their bike, [...]

Complete Documentation. Yah. I got some ‘O that.

Friday, March 9th, 2007

One of the more unpleasant tasks I’ve had lately is to try to expain our workflows, design, and procedures to the IBM smucks that for some reason think they know how to run a newspaper. It’s scary really. They ask questions, and if your answer doesn’t fit into one of the 2 or 3 predefined [...]

It’s -that- Time Again

Wednesday, March 7th, 2007

Oh ugh. It’s that time again.

If ya’ll would just buy about a million books, it would make this chore a whole lot easier!
