Hardware

More than just computers. Hardware is a reflection of the physical tools we have created around us. From an anthropological perspective, everything is fair game. In the 21st century, most everything I touch was fashioned or formed by another human hand: purified water, a chair to sit on, bed to sleep in, carpet under my feet, motorcycle to ride.

Computers

What can I say about my vocation? Computers are fundamentally a form of applied technology. This area focuses on hardware, so we have to look at the rack that sits in the corner of my office, the machine on my desktop, the laptop next to my bed, and the two machine under my desk.  All have defined functions.  4 are similar in function, while the rest are unique.  [more]

Motorcycles

I survived riding as a teenager with only one semi-major wreck.  In '03, I returned to motorcycles buying an '01 Yamaha YZF600R.  I have gathered info on AMA Points Standings, Race Results, Media Hype, etc.  Take a look if you are so inclined.  [more]

Mountain Bikes

Can you remember the first time you rode a bike without training wheels?  I can.  A little yellow bike with hard rubber tires.  I talked my dad into taking off the trainers.  I started out at the top of our driveway which had about a 15 degree incline.  I ripped down the drive, into the street and into the neighbors yards.  I have been on a bike at least once every year since.  [more]

Music

When I was a teenage I suffered from the worst forms of male angst.  I ended up swiping my mom's Remo PTS drum set.  After destroying that one, I moved up and up.  Now, I have 2 drum sets, 3 guitars, 1 bass, 1 piano, hundreds of CDs and thousands of mp3s.  [more]
