SpeederBikes

I always wanted one of these. I guess that's why I got into motorcycling in the first place -- or maybe it was just that my mountain-bike didn't go fast enough, who knows? Either way, I did get into motorcycling and yet whenever I watch Return of the Jedi and watch the speer-bike scenes I can't help but want one to zip through the trees, around traffic and over obstacles.


Unfortunately, people aren't building them yet. Sad really. Whatever happened to the promises of a better future? Where's my robot servant? Oh yeah, I have an Android. Where's my teleportation device and my lightsaber? And whatever happened to inter-stellar travel?

The future sucks. Too bad there's not something out there letting me know the future is now.

Oh wait, there is something out there... is that a... yes it is! A first-gen flying motorcycle!

Seems as though someone is just as big of a fan of Return of the Jedi as I was. Or at least they're as big of a fan of the speeder-bikes as I was.


Back To The Future

Now, if only I could find an extra $40 grand laying around.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
