Ok… so what the Hell is a "wiki" and can it help me save the world?

From the wikipedia on wiki: A wiki enables documents to be written collectively in a very simple markup language using a web browser. A single page in a wiki is referred to as a “wiki page”, whilst the entire body of pages, which are usually highly interconnected via hyperlinks, is “the wiki”; in effect, a [...]

those ferrets were on to something …

A few years ago, my genius friend Les started talking about this thing called wiki.  It seemed cool, but really, made no sense to me.  Once, I tried to use a program called WikiPad – thinking it would somehow help me organize notes, etc… But it was way too much for me to figure out [...]

bike vs noggin

“You didn’t race Yankee? Now I’ll definately need a blog entry about that.” – fellow female mountain biker turned full-time rv traveller. I realized that last summer, instead of getting faster, I got slower. I had high expectations of myself and consequently made myself absolutely nuts trying to be faster for races. Before a race, [...]

You’re apt to quit any task that doesn’t nourish your creativity and inner child.Sometimes your drive for freedom hinders your quality of [...]

hope for the future

Even though I have two stepsons, its not real often that we find ourselves at school-type functions; spending the evening in a room full of adrenaline filled kids is just not my thing. So, when Jarek asked if we wanted to go to his Sterling Inn banquet, I wasn’t terribly thrilled about the idea. But, [...]
