It doesn’t seem like five years have gone by.  Cheers, Pop.  

Google Docs has long had the ability to publish documents to the web, either to a select group of fellow viewers and editors, or for general consumption.  But two additional features make it a potentially useful and simple way to publish all manner of complicated documents.  First is the ability to easily create links from [...]

I look for them every summer.  South Carolina doesn’t have a helmet law, so most riders don’t bother with one.  That’s bad enough, of course.  But the hot Carolina summer also encourages light clothing.  Yet, until yesterday, I hadn’t seen the ultimate idiot clothing combination–that rare complete disregard for any sort of safety equipment.  Well, [...]

Hey, congressional “Democrats,” here’s another chance to roll over ”compromise” with your fiends across the isle: President Bush to Lift Executive Ban on Offshore Drilling.  Go ahead, you hypocrites.  Time to jump up (again) into Bush’s lap like the good little lapdogs you are.  Otherwise, you’ll be painted as in favor of four-dollar-a-gallon gasoline.  Hurry!  See if [...]

I posted a new track at the JNJ site last night, called “Good Day“.  And I posted one back in April that I never linked here, titled “A Sketch.”  These are both solo-bass tracks, not the usual, fully-produced fare.  They’re sketches, really.  But I think they’re pretty good.  Enjoy.
Hat tip to bassist Simon Little, whose [...]

I struggle with my weight.  Who doesn’t?  (Well, some people clearly don’t, but not anyone I know.)  Keeping track of calories consumed each day isn’t much fun.  I’ve managed it in the past fairly well with a Moleskine notebook and a pen.  But, since I’m a web-based person, I’m always looking for web-based solutions.  I’ve [...]
