My brain, it hurts.
Until I return (it’ll be soon, I promise), enjoy William Shatner explain the impetus behind his interpretation of Rocket Man from the 1978 SciFi Saturn Awards.
If you’re a Shatner fan (and I am unapologetic about my fanboyishness for Shatner), check out The Shatner Project.
Here’s the full performance, too.

CNN reports.
Paul Newman, the legendary actor whose steely blue eyes, good-humored charm and advocacy of worthy causes made him one of the most renowned figures in American arts, has died of cancer at his home in Westport, Connecticut. He was 83.
Perhaps I’ll watch Cool Hand Luke (my favorite Newman film) in his honor. It is conveniently [...]
You know, I may have to “suspend” the week in review posts if nothing exciting happens…
It’s been another week of pedaling to and from work without real incident.
It’s been a bit chilly (upper 60s/lower 70s) in the mornings. It’s also been damp and windy, what with a tropical storm having developed off the coast [...]
I’ve gotten word from Justin Schoenberger that the New Bern Sun Journal’s “Man on a Bike” online column has come to an end. Unfortunately with his workload at the Kinston Free Press, he’s not able to spend a lot of time on the bicycle.
Schoenberger has a great writing style and has had quite a few [...]
An email just hit my inbox.
Fellow Republicans,
"I am mad as hell and I am not going to take it anymore!" I am boycotting NBC over their biased reporting of the campaign and the SNL skit on Saturday night. I am also boycotting their sponsors…
It might not seem like much, but I am also giving up [...]
Contact your elected representatives and urge them not to support the Bush Administration’s $700,000,000,000 bail-out of Wall Street on our tax-dime. The Bush Plan has no support for Main Street Americans or home-owners that face foreclosure. The Administration’s plan also specifically denies Americans any course of action for oversight or recourse against the government’s actions [...]
Other than the weather turning a bit chilly in the mornings and a few run-ins with bike-ninjas, there’s really nothing exciting to report about the commute. I know it’s boring for you guys to read, but I’d much rather bore you than have to deal with something like this every day. I’m just kind of [...]
Today’s Jacksonville Daily News has a Letter to the Editor from former Jacksonville City Councilman Jerry Bittner. Mr. Bittner feels that the impact of previous City Councils was minimized by comments made by City Manager Kristoff Bauer (and myself, though Bittner didn’t call me out on it).
Bittner points to the Rails-to-Trails project (which Bittner didn’t [...]
Thanks to bikelovejones for this hat-tip.
Beth, the writer at bikelovejones says we should contact our Senators and ask them to support the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008.
This legislation will do all kinds of good stuff to improve America’s energy situation, but specifically, it provides tax benefits for bicycle commuters.
Check out the [...]
The little voices in my head tell me that there’s more to this story.
I wonder if the Jacksonville Daily News is going to bother looking for the real reasons the New River Foundation has abandoned the Waterkeeper Alliance?
When Joe Houle said:
“We will be free to go ahead and do our river cleanups and do [...]
