First posting…

Author: site admin
Category: Uncategorized

Welcome to my blog.

For the past few years, I’ve been somewhat critical…okay, very critical, of the whole blog explosion. In fact, this criticism goes back to when personal web pages first started popping up in the ’90s because I said then that it managed to be both egotistical and nihilistic. The former because it assumes other people actually care and the second because it reduces people to bland words on a computer screen. However, I eventually built a web page and now I’m starting a blog. Was I wrong? No, I’m just egotistical enough to think someone cares and don’t really care if everyone thinks I’m as boring as my blog will probably be. :-)

Anyway, thanks for reading. I’ll pontificate at random here but you can be sure it will be dominated by my obsessions with motorcycles. In fact, my first few posting will be about motorcycles and motorcycle racing.

Comments will be moderated but I’ll approve everything that isn’t spam, so I hope it will make for interesting reading for anyone with some time to waste.

Welcome and enjoy!


Think Peace.

*applause* Well your efforts seem to have been fairly successful. The page looks good and it will be interesting to see the difference between your MotoGP posts and those of Jeff. Either way it’s at LEAST justification for all that grand hardware in the corner isn’t it ;) Oh and BTW, does this mean that SquirrelMail is next?

Egotistical? Nope. Thanks to pings and permalinks that webcrawlers can search, your gems of wisdom will find an audience.

Nihilistic? No way! I finds written words tend to be more carefully crafted and are a truer mirror of the author’s soul.

I’m expecting fine things from this blog :-)

Keep it tasteful, but diddo on the last commentary. PS your ego is what keeps you driving and riding because it’s in the blood of every motorcyclist.
good stuff
