Reminiscing & consuming. A few days ago a friend shared some links to prog rock music not heard in ages. That sent me into a musical reminiscing mode.

Tire-some topic (again), and a “bold” decision
Tire-some yet important topic for us who rides motorcycles. I am talking about tires. I see lots of praise, of many types of tires. Most of them more offroad biased, at the expense of tarmac handling, durability, noise and a bunch of other considerations. A brilliant tire decision, for me Last year, as the first…read more>>
2017 Summer Adventure – Part 5, Wroclaw – Poland
Had decided to avoid big cities during the summer’s adventure as much as possible. Primarily because of traffic (congestion) and heat.

The tools – the nice to haves So there we are, you’ve…read more>>

WordPress & lay-out: less is more
Web design and content presentation trends have changed a lot over the past 10-20 years. Long gone is tolerance for, and patience with, 100+ lines paragraphs, cluttered pages, word and function density beyond sensible measures.
