The ride from Raleigh to [...]

It’s cold and windy but beautiful. I’m somewhere near Lexington now, warming my hands and body with some coffee. Everything is covered in powder-white snow. Props to the NC DOT. I-85 is pristine exept for the snow and ice coming off truicks. Very little traffic so I’m making great time. Speaking of that, [...]
First stop

It started raining about the time I got to Petersburg, so I pulled over, put on my rain gear and covered everything up. I spent the next three hours riding in varying types of rain. Sorry about all the product placement here, but I feel like a brief gear review is in orde. My [...]

In preparation for Valentine’s Day (my favorite holiday) I’m going to feature a few of my favorite videos. First, I present you with this lovely animation from Don Hertzfeldt, of “Rejected” fame. (I AM A BANANA!)
25 Things

Ok, 4 people have tagged me for this on Facebook. I figure I’ll go ahead and give in.
Here we go:
My biggest pet peeve is homophone misuse. I can’t stand it when people confuse “”to”, “too”, and “two” or other simple homophones like “their”, “there”, and “they’re”.
I’m a really slow writer. It’s going to take [...]
Meteorology
February 3, 2009 – 5:50 am
For somebody who spends most of his daylight hours inside a windowless office, I sure talk about the weather a lot. If you like weather, I suppose Washington, DC is a good place for you.
