On the way home today, I saw a truck hauling a piece of motorcycling history. A Honda V65 Magna, circa 1983, was strapped to the trailer. One of the first Honda V4’s, the v65 was the boss bike that year. It was the fastest off the line, and held the production quarter mile title. Shaft drive, 65 cubic inches displacement, and a laid back cruiser styling. It was pretty rough, but I strongly...
Dover Publications, also known as dover press. I first became aware of Dover when I was in college. Dover picked up the rights of old text books that had gone out of print, and packaged them as reasonable priced paperbacks. Since I studied physics, and much of the core material was pretty static (not the modern, high energy, or particle physics that were evolving rapidly, but mechanics, field...
Since I don’t have kids, I don’t know why this has happened. From a very early age (1st grade) I walked to school. We lived probably a mile, maybe a little less, but a group of us neighbor kids would gather and stroll to classes every day. Probably by the 4th grade, I graduated to bicycling to school (I remember my cherry Schwinn Stingray being stolen, and being distraught over it)...
There are many valid reasons to hate GoDaddy web hosting, from their soft-porn advertisements, to their owner’s proclivity to go big game hunting in Africa, to the barrage of pushy marketing of their goods and services (no, I don’t want to add domains today). Today though, I will be complaining about their support and their absolutely shitty hosting platform. Until Friday, March 22...
I finally took the plunge and got my reloading press setup again. It had been sitting idle on my workbench, partially disassembled from the move, and generally looking sad. But now it is back together, and when I get about a 2′ x 2′ piece of plywood to reinforce my workbench, I will bolt it down and then get back to reloading. I also cleaned all my firearms. A couple had been put...
A recent post I mentioned that I would follow up with my irritation with Arizona cyclists. In that post I mentioned the insane practice that is widespread of cycling on the sidewalks, that greatly increases the hazards to people walking. Today, I am going to grumble about cyclists who are unfamiliar with the rules of the road. First, I grew up in California, at a time when the schools were well...
Well, I have been an on and off user of posterous for a few years. Probably less than 100 posts, some insightful, some silly. I guess they will fit here.
Tee hee
Holy cow. I found this again by searching my userid.
I created my own site, hosted, and moved from WP to Joomla. I might bring this back, since it is nice to have another option.
At the referral of a friend several years ago, I joined the GLG group to offer myself as an expert. I have a lot of knowledge of a lot of technologies, and companies. I got my invitation, filled it out, took their ethics training (every year), set...
