I understand the gist of this sign, but the sentiment is certainly untrue. Just one of those funny things you see on a bike ride.

Well, Smurfette isn’t really dead, but as of today she’s no longer my sole bicycle. As of today, I’ve got this beautiful new Surly Long Haul Trucker in my garage. She’s the same color but a much different personality which puts me in a quandary as to what to name her. Smurfette II just doesn’t seem right . . . Any ideas? I’ll buy a drink for the person with the best idea.

It’s been about two years since I had been in Chicago and it was great to see the old town again. This time there was no specific event to attend, so Grace and I lived it up as a couple of true tourists doing all those things I never really did when I lived there, such as the boat tours, Navy Pier and Second City. It was a wonderful trip with wonderful company . . .

The kind of clouds you don’t like to see on a bike.

For many years now, I’ve been using webhost4life as the hosting company for my various websites. When I signed up they offered really top notch service and a reasonable price (especially for .NET hosting, which I was primarily using at the time). However, over the last year or so, their service has become increasingly unreliable and even at the best of times, extremely slow. Earlier this week, this site went down unexpectedly. I contacted support and they told me it would be 24-48 hours for a response to the problem.
Well, I know I’m not a big client, but that was a bit much, so I started hunting for a new hosting company. After scouring the web, I decided upon inmotionhosting. So far the experience has been extremely pleasant. The setup process was less than an hour and the sales personnel were very helpful. Transferring the sites was a breeze and the performance has been spectacular. Additionally, their business class hosting allows you to host multiple domains under a single account which will save me a considerable amount of money.
Of course, it’s only been less than a week, but so far the experience has been extremely encouraging.
