State Troopers are seeking the driver of a vehicle who struck a cyclist just west of Cement, OK last night: The crash occurred at about 7:15 p.m. on U.S. 277, just west of Cement. Troopers said Josh Steven Henderson, 17, of Chickasha, was riding his bike west on the two-lane road when the vehicle, also traveling west, hit him and caused him to veer to the right. The vehicle fled the scene, troopers said. [Read More]

Had a great evening out for dinner. I even convinced Gwen to try some sushi, but she really, really, really didn’t like it. I still admire her adventuresome spirt.

Finally got a chance to assemble my Chi-qoo Solar Kit from Bootstrap Solar (www.bootstrapsolar.com). I am hoping to use this to keep all of my gadgets charged during my bicycle trip this summer.

Instead of facing the hordes of amateurs out on the streets for Valentine’s Day, I did my best for a feast at home with Maple Glazed tuna steaks with curry and pear potato salad and a nice goat cheese covered salad followed up with some chocolate “explosion” cake.

Grace always gets me the best gifts. This year for Valentine’s Day I got a “genius” shirt (maybe overstating my case a little bit). Next she surprised me with some sugru (sugru.com), the newest hacking miracle substance for which I already have a million ideas on how to use it. Finally I received a bamboo plant which is probably hardy enough to survive my complete lack of a green thumb. [Read More]

I almost never do this these days, but tonight a bunch of guys from work went out for some beer and an action film. I guess my “guy” gauge was running a bit low. I feel much more refreshed. ;)
