Ian Hibell is dead. However, the inspiration he gave me and many others to saddle up on long-distance touring rides will not fade so fast.
He rode from Cape Horn to Alaska. And all over the rest of the world. Holy shit.
Thanks for being my hero, Ian.

By Max • Sep 4th, 2008 • Category: Found, Life, Poetry

if strangers meet
life begins-
not poor not rich
(only aware)
kind neither
nor cruel
(only complete)
i not not you
not possible;
only truthful
-truthfully,once
if strangers(who
deep our most are
selves)touch:
forever
(and so to dark)
-ee cummings

Beautiful weekend of wine, food, and friends.
If there were a button to activate how I felt this weekend, I would push it until I was dead.
The photos speak louder than my pithy voice.



FYI: Back in Town

And working my ass off.
Hurricanes effect everyone. Even people who work on the web.
I’m on call from 12am-6am tonight.
Call if you want to chat about philosophy in the wee hours of the night.

POLITICS: MCCAIN NAMES VP

By Max • Aug 29th, 2008 • Category: FYI, Information, Life, Politics

Tropical Storm Gustav has been named as McCain’s running mate!!!

Just kidding. However, the real choice was slightly more ridiculous. And a tad bit less experienced than this soon-to-be hurricane.
Welcome to Sarah Palin, you’re a token choice to manipulate the minds of small town, middle americans.
