Provably False

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.

Smurfette is Dead Long Live ???

RadicalWacko — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 00:23:37 +0000

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 . . .

Storm Clouds

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

Hosting Recommendation

RadicalWacko — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 02:26:56 +0000

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.

So after a break of 16 years, I hopped on the bike and headed out on Freewheel, Oklahoma’s cross state bicycle tour. I probably should have trained some for the ride because the first several days took a lot out of me and for the first time I came short by 30 miles one day. However, the ride was beautiful and by the end I was feeling top notch. I didn’t shoot much, but below are some pictures from the trip . . .

I needed a little break from all the craziness and I hadn’t posted any pics in awhile, so here is a tiny little gallery of some pictures from last year’s blizzard.

It All Must Go!

RadicalWacko — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:56:22 +0000

There comes a time in every man’s life when he is asked to shave his head for a good cause. While some might hesitate from such a challenge, a proud few refuse to shirk from the cause. Inspired by my friend Dustin, this year, at 2:00 PM on March 28th at VZD’s, I will be shaving my head in support of the St. Baldrick’s Foundation. That’s right, all fur must go! St. Baldrick’s helps raise funds for childhood cancer research, certainly a noble cause. If you can help, please consider donating to this organization at my sponsorship page: https://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/nlorenz. Even one dollar would provide much-needed help to this critical research.

Also, I would like to invite all of my friends to come join me to see the mop get killed. Thanks to all those who can help!
