My kids and I have been going to Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado Springs for the past 4 years and I discovered this race when I “bumped into” rallying videos on YouTube. (Rallying is a deep, passionate niche with most fans in Europe.) The race features a diverse array of cars, motorcycles, trucks and quads that race up the mountain at speeds of over 140 miles per...

I struck up a conversation with the person from Reddit and one...
A Gift
About a week ago I got a text from one of my students, who had recently graduated, telling me that he had a small gift for me. Some tea. After making sure I was allowed to accept gifts from former students, I met him at Daniels and he gave me this amazing gift. Thank you Ji!
The death of Flash and the joy that is Zombo.com
No. This is not a DC spoiler. I’m referring to Adobe killing the Flash Player. When Flash was created/released back in 1996, it was like a breath of fresh air.
