My good friend Brad recently released version 1.0 of a motorcycle powered by lithium ion batteries. He spent the last six months building this beauty.  It goes up to 70mph and one can go about 50 miles before re-charging. How do you re-charge? Just unplug your toaster and plug in this motorcycle. 30 minutes later, [...]

I obviously have done a very bad job of keeping my blog updated over this past week. Lots has happened, all which is good. The Hasselhoff talk was a success, and hopefully I won’t be giving that talk at any more professional outings. I had a great time in Seattle meeting up with Jerry and [...]

I just arrived at Gnomedex, and it all looks very impressive. Everything is well thought out and the people all seem very friendly. Everyone brought their laptop, so seems like my kind of place.

Tonight Jen moved for the third time this year. Note to any of you out there who are thinking about be-friending this lady – if you own a truck, you’re in. Tomorrow Jen and I are going to yet another wedding. This time it’s in Dayton, Washington which is way closer to the state of [...]

My boss Tim O’Leary launches his newest blog called The Bizzy Life – A Place For People That Live Their Work. Despite it’s harmless name, there’s plenty of controversial content that will keep you coming back for more.

For our anniversary, Jen and I went to the theatre to see a show about two gay men whose romance interferes with one of the gentleman’s acting career. It was a great show but this is the last time I spend an anniversary with naked  men. The Little Dog Laughed.
