Programming != Computer Science

I saw this article today which lead to this.  All of this got me thinking…

What I haven’t mentioned is that I’m poking around the edges, looking at getting a Master in Computer Science from Portland State University.  Thinking…  Contemplating…  Wondering if I honestly care enough to jump through all of those hoops and get the fucking letters.  (Argh)

Super Ténéré: tricked out and ready to rent/ride

Three Capes

September 11th, 2011 No comments

Scott and I did the Three Capes loop today.  I took the Super Ténéré.  Scott on his SV1000.

The road between Carlton and Beaver was fairly good. The Three Capes Loop was the usual crap surface.

It was 96 degrees in the valley but only 68 near Netarts.  Temperatures mellowed as we gained altitude crossing the Coastal Range.  I could smell the salt air as we rolled into Beaver.  By the time we got to Pacific City I was chilled.  What did I expect when I pulled on my mesh jacket and perforated boots?  Lunch at the Whiskey Creek restaurant or whatever it’s called at the moment.  Good food.  Quiet place.  The road to Cape Meares is still closed.  Heading inland from Tillamook the temps climbed.  The usual stuff.

I’ve been struggling with a bit of dehydration. My hydration pack helped out quite a bit. Any time I would think about it, I’d try to take 3 or 4 big slugs of water. That helped considerably.

It’s nice to burn some fuel and motor around the country side.

I spent a few hours today adding new pages and filling our some of the existing pages.

I added a travel and etc. sections.  In travel, I posted some pics and provide maps for some of the rides I enjoy.  In etc., I posted everything else from Pets to Prime Numbers and beyond. 

Lots of new photos. 

Lots of new content.
