Swashbuckling, Atlanta-area, Technology Program Manager. I brew beer, play drums, run a little bit, and try not to under-achieve. I have people skills.
It\’s like hundreds of horses right between your legs!
I cannot, for the life of me, understand the success of these shows documenting an alpha meathead and his meathead minions getting together to build the same GHAT damned motorcycle week after week after week after week.

… we pick up the story to find our hero mired in a weeks-long dearth of anything remotely resembling a cretive idea. To complicate things, he refuses to not blog. What results is an elementary recipe for utter disaster. Let\’s see what he does next … So, like, when all else fails, post an amusing [...]

Click the pic to see the flickr set from the campening last weekend. And a full moon it was. The Geester\’s uncle has a chunk of land up in the North Georgia hills, and he was nice enough to let Paul2k, Ben, and me go up and squat last Saturday night. There\’s actually a cabin [...]
