One of my recent web design clients, Finding Paws, just got featured in the San Francisco Chronicle for her pet detective service. Congrats Donna and glad that website's bringin' in the biz!

Alas, a bit of fatigue & pilot error took me and my motorcycle into to dirt when I went into a corner too hot. I avoided a lowside slide by standing it up and trying to ride it out into the dirt. Didn't quite get it to stop upright.

No biggie, but my V-Strom's a bit scratched up and I shattered my windscreen. Fortunately, parts is parts, so it'll be good as new with some new ones. Glad I had all my gear on and my bike had sliders or we both may have come out worse for wear. Let that be a lesson to ya kiddies.

One of the coolest motorcycle commercial I've seen in years (YouTube) is for the Bajaj Pulsar in India. Others that come to mind that I can recall are the Ducati Hypermotard with Ruben Xaus riding, and some Japanese commercial for the KTM 990 SuperDuke flying through city streets.

Most of the ads in the U.S. just don't cut it, because they focus less on the riding experience and instead just talk over specs – I can look at a brochure for specs!

An old friend repainted his Honda Shadow with the logo I created for him a few years as a geometric accent. Looks sweet in metallic green and as an abstract shape. Purty.

In an odd set of circumstances, I just discovered that my neighbor's wife was found dead in a ditch last weekend with her car nowhere to be found. Cause of death is a mystery still, but she'd just gone out to get a pack of smokes and a short drive and never returned. I'd wondered why I hadn't seen her the past few days. Scary people in this world who'll just dump you dead and steal your car. Her husband's a wreck.

Sad news today for gamers the world over. The co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, Gary Gygax has passed away. Though always a controversial guy in the gaming world, between him and Dave Arneson, the entire world of pen & paper role-playing games, as well as all the video/computer games inspired by RPGs need to give him some love, because we might not have the awesomeness that are RPGs without 'em.
