WEBSITE

This is my website. It covers a range of my interests from the serious such as political, social, cultural and environmental issues, PC & Internet security to the fun, such as games, books, links and especially Daytona Beach Bike Week and Biketoberfest events and descriptions, along with pictures and memories of some of my favorite places as well as links to some of my favorite pages on the Internet. I've also started another website which will eventually split off many of the pages from this one and is currently home to the North American XOR Football League. There should be something for everyone!

Our freedoms are under attack as never before. Not from foreign invaders or terrorists, who will never defeat us, but from our own government and other groups out to foster their agendas at the cost of the rights and privacy of honest, law abiding citizens. Here are a couple links to sites that inform and fight these abuses:

EFF - The Electronic Frontier Foundation does more to fight for the rights and privacy of citizens in this information age than any other group.
BlackBoxVoting.org - America's Elections Watchdog Group

Some sites with news. You'll note it's a much different and more realistic take than you hear on CNN or Fox News [Fear and Panic!]:

Truthout
TomPaine.common sense
Campaign For America's Future
Green Links - My page with links to numerous pages and organizations that promote a better planet
Slashdot - A world-wide forum which discusses technology news and issues that affect all of us. Due to their moderation system you don't see as many ignorant posts and, more importantly,you usually get posts from people working in the field being discussed that really know what they're talking about.


I apologize to anyone who cares for not keeping this site more up to date. I hope to do better in the future but life keeps getting in the way.
