News 9 is reporting that police are seeking the driver of a car who struck a cyclist on Monday morning near 31st and Military. The driver initially stopped and asked the cyclist, Bill Hartman, if he was hurt, but then when Mr. Hartman said, “Yes, I am hurt”, the driver said he was sorry but then fled the scene. The driver was middle-aged, wore glasses and had light brown hair. The vehicle is described as a small, gold colored beat-up car. [Read More]

It is probably time to stop torturing my co-workers for pictures for Project 365. However, I really liked this picture I took of Joseph at lunch. Wow, two work lunches in a week, this might become a pattern. Probably not though, I know the busy times are about to get back underway.

Generally, I avoid joining protests, but occasionally there are ideas so bad that I can’t stay away. Such is the case with the Protect IP Act (PIPA) which is coming up before the Senate next week. The goal of protecting intellectual property is certainly a laudable one, but the means to achieve that goal must not come at the expense of the 1st amendment, nor should it fundamentally weaken the technological structure of the Internet.

The relationship between cyclists and the town of Jones, Oklahoma has traditionally been, at best, a rocky one and at worst, an outright hostile one. Quiet two lane roads and beautiful, hilly routes have attracted large number of cyclists to the area. However the poor behavior of some cyclists have caused negative reactions from area law enforcement and businesses against the cycling community. Thankfully, the situation continues to dramatically improve and thanks to the work of the Oklahoma Bicycling Coalition (OBC), Jones, Oklahoma will now host its own annual cycling event, The Hogback Attack Bike Ride: [Read More]

I guess the seagulls are tired of the cold and are preparing to go someplace warmer because they were swarming in huge numbers right around the Lake Overholser dam. At times it looked like a scene right out of the Hitchcock film. I’m just glad I wasn’t Tippi Hedren.

Examiner.com writer Diana Winslow, who covers downtown Oklahoma City, has had her bicycle (which is her primary form of transportation) stolen: Diana Winslow, Downtown Examiner writer’s bike is MIA from near Lake Hefner as of Thursday January 05-2012. AKA “Chick on a Bike”, the writer’s very distinctive beaten red Nishiki 3 speed is a racing style bike, with a Selle Royale seat, various lights, bell and book rack on the back. [Read More]

That’s what I did today, absolutely nothing. In fact, I never really got out of my fuzzy slippers. I did get quite a bit of email written and caught up on a bunch of paperwork, but even then, all of my labor didn’t amount to much. It was a perfect, lazy Sunday.

Today was definitely one of those days. Woke up this morning, to find that Grace’s car had a flat tire. Had to frantically scramble to get Gwen to school and Grace to work and for me to run to work in the nick of time. Then I had to fight through the hell that is Edmond rush hour traffic to pick up Grace. Finally, to really top of the night, I changed out Grace’s tire for the spare. [Read More]

It’s been almost two weeks since I last rode the bike and I’m really missing it. My stress levels are through the roof, I’m grumpy, tired, not sleeping well. Hopefully I can get on the bike tomorrow.
