Over the years I have seen a couple of bike wrecks. In one the rider’s frame was snapped in half and he took a LOT of skin off his back. It was a good thing he had a helmet. It cracked, but probably saved his head. The other wreck was the Cache Valley Century. At…

Something to Think About
My wife took the girls to Ogden today. While driving through the canyon the driver in front of here was driving erratic and she noticed that their hands moved a lot. When she got to Brigham City she discovered that the people in the car in front of her were speaking in sign language. Something…
Rode Stoddard Creek Friday (A few Fridays ago)
These days I only manage to ride motorcycles with my dad, brother and brother-in-law about once a year. This time we made our way to Stoddard Creek. Its about 60 miles north of my parents house. Very few people can find Idaho on a map which is fine with me. Because of that fact there…
Teeth Whitening = Pain
A few days ago I broke one of my bottom front teeth. Luckily it didn’t hurt, but I figured I should get it fixed. That started a serious of events that led to one of the more painful experiences of my life. They started to fix my tooth but then I mentioned that I had…
Outsourcing My Religion
I got up at 6:30 am this morning so that I could serve in what is know as a ‘calling’ in my church. I have done this for two years now. Anyone that knows me knows that I don’t get up at 6:30. Sometimes I stay up and work until 6:30, but I don’t get…

PicLens on ThePlanCollection.com
David Wiley pointed me to PicLens a few days ago. It is fun way to view online images. Immediately I saw the potential use for viewing house plans. We already have data feeds in RSS and Atom setup all over the site so I figured it wouldn’t be hard to integrate the service into ThePlanCollection.com….
Interesting Things From Today
I ate pickle soup. It was awesome. Try new things you might be surprised. Evolution is bullshit. If it were real mankind would have evolved such that his hair did not migrate from the top of his head to his back, ears and nose as he grows older. I bought more cereal today. 13 boxes…
Battlestar Galactica
I will show my true geek here. Battlestar Galactica will be back on the air this Friday night. I am so excited. When I was a kid I watched the original series all the time. I will be sad when it is over, but for now I will just look forward to one of the…
