tour de cure! i made it!
Jun 29th
I know this is a week late, but real life and things have gotten in the way. Â To make up for my absence, I’ll even throw in some PICTURES! How about that!
First off, let me thank all of the people who donated and pledged for this ride. Â The American Diabetes Association, myself, and Wilford Brimley thank you for your generosity.
That's how he says "thank you"
First off, all those who pledged did in fact make it onto my jersey.
My camera stinks, sue me.
The one on the top is for my mom and mother in law.
Below that, we have Travis, Coffey, Ducksauce, More >

I know I’ve bugged you all about this before, and I promise that the race is this Saturday, so very soon you won’t have to see me beg you for money any more.
But since I have limited time left, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE donate!
Click here, click the Tour de Cure on the nav bar above, click the meter over on the left, click just about anywhere on this page. Â They all take you to the same place, which is the page where you can use your credit card to donate online (fancy, I know).
You all have been freaking fantastic in helping More >
getting too close for comfort
May 24th
Alright folks, it’s getting closer and closer, and I’m still short of my goal. Â I wanted to raise $300, and right now I’m only about 2/3 or the way there.
I want to give a big hell yes shout out to those who’ve pledged so far, and here they are:
- Semky
- My mom and mother in law (sadly they do not have a URL)
- Daffy the Ducky
- Coffey
- Ed
I have an entire jersey to fill up with names and pictures and URL’s and advertisements (if you have a product, let me know) and right now I pretty much have the left sleeve and part of the More >
another plea
Apr 26th
As you may or may not know, depending on if you visit the site or are using the reader, I am riding in the Tour de Cure in 8 weeks, which is a fundraising ride for the American Diabetes Association.
Right now, I’ve raised $145. Â The MINIMUM needed is $150. Â My goal was to raise $300, which puts me less than halfway there.
If you click here to my page, you can pledge online. Â Even just $5 would go towards helping many people with diabetes and trying to find a cure. Â Odds are you probably know someone who has diabetes; you can donate More >
time for shorts
Mar 17th
For the first time in months, last week as I was driving to work I had sunlight. Â I work at 6 a.m. and driving in that early all winter, I never got to see the sun. Â It was dark when I drove in, dark when I drove out, and my cubical is not near a window. Â For some reason, companies always like to put the tech support far from windows in a dark corner with half the lights burned out. Â I think HR believes that nerds will melt and flee in terror if there is too much light in their More >
the monster rides again
Jan 25th
For those eagle-eyed readers who come to my page instead of just reading my words of wit in Reader (yeah I’m guilty of that too), you may have noticed I’ve added another page and another box to my sidebar regarding the Tour de Cure. Â This is a bike ride that raises money for the American Diabetes Association, and is held across the country.
Everyone knows at least one person who has diabetes, and odds are they are able to live a normal and successful life while dealing with it. Â It’s because of research and work done that this condition is able to More >
