Over the years I have been to many Star Trek and Sci-Fi conventions. Most of them have been run by Creation Entertainment and then a few have been the big Comic Con/Fan Fusion/Fan Fest that occurs in Phoenix. I have gone to these things to see those stars from the shows I have grown up…

Weekend Update
So I was planning to write an update on the bicycle accident stuff, but instead I am going to write about the weekend and how things went. I will give you update on the bicycle stuff later in the week (maybe tomorrow if time allows) I mentioned that on Friday I got to do interviewing…
Long Day(s)
Hello all – I know I promised to post more often and I haven’t posted in a few days. Sorry. Thursday I had a late day at work to evaluate a co-worker on top of a typical busy Thursday. I had a long day today of being on an interview committee at my college. I…
Bicycling – Bigger Goals (or Ideas)
I have been thinking about how I enjoy bicycling recently. I really do enjoy riding my bike, most of the time. There are certainly days where I would rather not ride, but I know it is good exercise for me, and so I do it. And with the accident and loss of my primary bike more…
Quick update on me and bicycle
Nothing new to report really. I went to the doctor yesterday and the person that saw me basically said, you seem ok, but you should get some physical therapy for your shoulder. She thought that would help the pain. I said ok. So, I have my first appointment in a week and half. I didn’t…

Five Iron Frenzy
Five Iron Frenzy is one of my favorite bands. For those of you who don’t know who they are, well they are a ska band. Well, they were a ska band, and they sort-of still are. They have changed their music style some over the years, and that isn’t a bad thing. When I was…
Bicycle Meets Car (I’m OK)
Well today didn’t go as planned. I was finally able to head out on my daily bike ride at about 4pm. I was hoping for ma nice 17 mile ride like I do on Sundays. Everything was going well, there wasn’t much traffic on the road (the Superbowl was going to start shortly afterall), and…
Course Development Day (on top of the regular stuff)
It has been a long while since I have had to really think about the development of a course. It is hard. I am glad I have help. I work on my classes all the time in little ways, but I am working to design and build a fully on your own time online physics…
Family to the Rescue
Tuesday afternoon I had an incident at home and my family came to my rescue. We get jars of honey delivered to our house every month. I was opening our latest arrival and as I was getting the glass jar out from its very taped up bubble wrap I felt an incredibly sharp pain in…
