Ordered this book (from the library, or course). Read the first two and while he's no Harry Dresden, Atticus O'Sullivan is a likable enough Druid. What really makes the books, though, is his relationship with his dog.

Just ordered this (from the library). Should be here on Tuesday. I haven't had a book in weeks. I can't wait! http://books.google.com/books?id=nxn_tsLpKXEC&lpg=PP1&dq=hammered&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q&f=false

Are those tears in your eyes? Damn right they are.

I had a brilliant idea but between thinking about it and executing it I lost it. I hate it when that happens.

I'm having some problems with Google Maps again. Anyone else running into something like this: you have a map, edit it, save it and it reverts to the pre-edited version? I swear Google Maps hates me. http://jasonswebline.blogspot.com/2011/09/google-maps.html

Last Saturday I wasn't supposed to ride, I was supposed to meet some photographers for s sunrise shoot up near Rocky Mountain National Park. That didn't happen. even though my alarm clock was set for 4am I didn't rise until 6:30am due to sleeping through the annoying rooster noise I set to wake me up. No matter how fast I rode the bike there was no way I could make it more than 90 miles in 10 minutes or less. It just wasn't happening. So, at the urging of a friend I met up with some other riders at MoCo for a last minute ride. I didn't know their route and I didn't know but two other riders when I arrived at the staging location.  Anywho, we met up, we talked shit to each other and then we took off. It wasn't a very exciting ride and one rider really annoyed me to no end. When turning onto Squaw Pass from 74 the light turned yellow and then red before the last four of us could make it through. There was one rider ahead of me and two behind. I never learned t...

Anyone else having problems with Google Maps? Or is it just me? I swear, GMaps is so frustrating to use I just want to chuck my laptop through the window, then pick up the pieces and slam them on the ground over and over again like some primitive ape who can't get an iPad to show pictures of little kittens. So, I used the MyTracks app on my phone to record a motorcycle ride I went on last weekend. When all was said and done, though, I forgot to restart the recording while we were stopped for lunch. The Map I'm Working on: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216178225411704579963.0004adb5aed0cfa588af0&msa=0&ll=39.673899,-105.398026&spn=0.320801,0.633774 Here's the first Map: So, I go to add the additional route to the map: And then some sprucing up with the thumbtack instead of the pointy-balloon thing: Looks good, right? That's what you think. This is the fourth time I've done this and watch -- once I save and refresh: ...

Verizon and at&t not liking the movement ? Wall Streeters protecting their own from social tidal waves the like of what we saw during the Arab Spring?

The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing. ~Edmund Burke Originally shared by Melissa Gray

UFO doesn't necessarily mean an alien intelligence it just means a flying object that is unidentifiable. However, there are some strange things going on all over the world and thanks to modern consumer grade technology we are able to capture more and more weird occurrences and share them for review by the world at large. I think this is a good thing. Have you seen anything weird out there? I have. A tiny tiny blip in the sky one day that I followed for about 20 minutes.

For the gamers. Free game. Originally shared by Mark Richards This is for those of you PC gamers who still enjoy playing adventure games or did enjoy playing them and have some nostalgia for the genre. GOG.Com is giving this game away for free up until October 1. There are no catches at all. Gog.com doesn't do that. It is a legit give away. I haven't finished an adventure game since "The Longest Journey" . I have started several others since, but didn't finish them. This one might hold my attention when I am in the mood for a puzzle game. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/09/29/gog-com-give-away-broken-sword-shadow-of-the-templars-pour-libre/

You know you want to. I would but I don't like having my picture taken, therefore there aren't a lot of pictures of me out there.

Connie Hammond is looking for a few good Circles. Help a Plusser out, will ya? Originally shared by Connie Hammond If you're going to share your circles, here are a few I'd really like to get my hands on: 1. circles of tried, true and cheap off-shore website talent 2. circles of unknown, but funny as hell, comedians 3. circles of entrepreneurs who started their business in 2010/2011 and have good info to share. 4. circles of people who said goodbye to corporate America in order to live a lifestyle (one worth following). 5. circles of people in social media who've grown a huge following in under a year on their own and are sharing their secrets. What circles would you like to see? Where's the master list I can choose from?

From my last minute ride this morning. With all the foliage turning I wish i'd brought the mounted video camera or at least the dSLR.

Motorcycle break. We're not really doing anything else here.

Well, Google, you just annoyed the crap out of me. Figuratively. Apparently there is something interesting going on with your Doodle today wherein you can click on the green muppet and do something with the arrow keys. Cool, I thought, I'll have to give this a try. So, in Chrome, I open a new tab and type in: www.google.com > ENTER. And I get taken to Google.com/accounts So I go back and type in www.google.com and hit ENTER. And I get taken to my iGoogle.com page even though the URL still says regular old "Google.com." Do you know what's not fun, Google? Being able to go where I want when I want. http://www.google.com

You should probably read this. Originally shared by **** Everyone of you has probably read way too much about Facebook on Google+. In fact, most of you are probably to the point of wanting to vomit. (Here's the "But") But! I've done some homework for you, and a bit of research. If you're still a Facebook fan, and still want to be, you might want to skip this post. If you'd like some solid ammunition that will scare the hell out of someone to leave Facebook to get them to join Google+, on the other hand, you're welcome in advance. http://nrek.co/technology/what-facebook-opengraph-means-for-you/

The good news was my new AVG Willow jacket came in. Woot! And  it was warm enough to ride over jacketless (which I don't like to do) and pick up the new jacket. But this story really starts last night. Last night I rode the SV about 10 miles to go help a friend out for a couple of hours. I'd ridden a few times throughout the day without any problems and I didn't have any last night either. Until it was time to leave. I jumped on the SV, turned the key and hit the START button. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Everything died. Fantastic. I was torn: do I call the roommate who I have had a rocky relationship with for the past couple of weeks or do I call some friends who I haven't talked to since June, but they live closer? I just needed a jump and then I could get home. I decided to try and run-start it myself. Sitting astride the saddle I Fred Flintstone'd the bike forward until I thought I was going fast enough to pop the clutch. Nogo. I noticed the side street was a slight ...

Have you ever wondered how the Google search really works? What are they talking about when they're talking about Google's 'algorithm?' Click the link, search for something -- anything -- and watch as Google's search feature shows you how it's done.

As a motorcycle rider, more importantly as a sportbike rider, this stuff irritates the crap out of me. First they're riding like dipshits (sorry for the swearing) then they're lane splitting, then they're talking about taking the fence down, then they're all over the place creating a CF, and then they speed on past the police. I don't normally say this, but I hope they all get caught and prosecuted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jofp-Bq-CrE

Markups. I knew about bottled water, wine and movie theater popcorn but I didn't know about text messaging. That just makes me mad.

Something recently happened with iOS... can someone tell me what it is?

I just logged into Facebook for a little while. Yeh... :( I was inundated with so-and-so is listening to X on Spitify notifications, who commented on who's wall and a whole bunch of other crap I don't care about. Long Live Google+! (until Google wants to take away my privacy)

So, at 5:12 I turn the station to the History Channel show called Lost Worlds which has the episode title Pagans . Ha ha ha.... I love coincidences.

So, am IRL friend on FB asked me why I like G+ so much. I said it's because of the quality of conversation and the ability to filter my content in-going and out-going. Anything else I should mention? Links to good blog posts or articles?

Picking up my new jacket. Woo hoo!

Just had my first cup of coffee in more than 20 years (damn, I'm getting old). Why 20 years? Growing up, my mother's side of the family drank coffee and I tried it once or twice (as we do when we see family doing something) and I didn't care for it. Some said it was my age and tastes, that I would grow to love it. When I went into the military everyone drank coffee. I tried it then, too. A sip or two. Nasty horrible stuff. However, I do like cappacinos and frappacinos. Who'd guess? The other day I tried a coffee (free) sample, dumped a lot of cream and sugar into it and it was passable -- sort of like a warm frappacino. Today I said what the hell and made a cup of Starbucks instant. Eeegads! This is why I don't drink coffee! This stuff is horrible! yeck! Oddly, they claim taste is related to smell and I love the aroma of brewing coffee. Who'd have thunk it?

Gmail no workie. edited: I'm an idiot

If nothing is impossible and I do nothing everyday, am I not doing the impossible?

Now that we have (a better) search in G+ can we do away with hashtags? If someone wants to label their posts that's fine, but we don't need the hashtags anymore, I think.

Testing out the "share one photo" feature. That is all.

So I came to the bank here to deposit some money. As I'm standing in line waiting for the teller I notice all the marketing signs inside the branch are in Spanish. All the directional signs are in English or at least bilingual, but the marketing signs are only in Spanish. While talking to the teller I mention this. She tells me they can't have sign in every language and I agree, but English should at least be represented, right? Oh, there's some signs in English by the front door, she tells me. So I ran something by her: let's say I came in and stood in line while waiting for a teller. Let's say I'm looking around. What do I see? Signs in Spanish -- no English represented. Don't get me wrong, I'm not one of these this is 'Merca and we speak the English here people I was just curious why English wasn't represented more prominently. I've lived in too many countries and travelled too much to not accept bi- or tri-lingual signs, but sans the lan...
