Got Blog?

... mine's in my signature, and I know I'm not alone! Who else? (And what's your oddest blog-encounter?)

**pikato** · 06-01-2006, 02:05 PM

Mine's pikato.blogspot.com though it only recently started being about cycling, it's more daily life/weight loss.

Wierdest experience so far is having Prevention magazine contact & interview me for an article that'll be out in the August issue.

Me too! My blog is at http://denisegoldberg.blogspot.com. I use it for day-to-day musings, and as a place to document rides, walks, etc.

I keep journals of my biking trips at http://denisegoldberg.crazyguyonabike.com, photo galleries at http://denise.smugmug.com - and then I tie those all together with my web site (as listed at the end of each of my posts). Some folks may think I'm a bit out of control, but each of my publishing spots serves a different purpose.

I get occasional emails from strangers about things they've seen on one of my sites. (That's in addition to the people who sign my guestbooks on crazyguyonabike.com or who send me messages here.

On the Road Again is pretty new and I hope that I can keep up on it. My last blog died a lonely, neglected death. It's about my adventures as a new cyclist, our camping and hiking trips and being a M.O.M.

It's more of a webite/obsession:
http://www.christmas-baking.com/

and a "homepage" (that's what we called it in my day):
http://binky.seas.upenn.edu/~sue/

although there is the part that might be called a blog, but I'm calling "essays and reviews of a foodie nature":
http://www.christmas-baking.com/itsAllAboutTheFood/

Oddest blog encounter? I got to meet Moxie, http://moxie.blogs.com, and I know Cecily, http://zia.blogs.com, who both write a lot about women and society, and Cecily writes about sizeism and uses the f-bomb a lot. OK, the oddest encounter was Cecily's baby shower, and reading the links from her blog the day after, putting blogs to the faces.

Mine's just a short little blog done primarily so sponsors could follow my adventures on a recent fund-raising ride.

No odd encounters of the blog kind, yet.

Jenerator...my husband's department had a team riding the unity ride this year!

Brandy,
There was a large contingent of riders from CA and I do remember seeing at least one patch from Huntington Beach. The cross-country riders that started in L.A. were pretty inspirational too.

Brandy, nice blog, I'll catch up with it later.

I have a home page, it's a work in progress and I apologize in advance for any spelling errors. You can usually find it just by clicking on my profile and there's a link. Click on "view public profile" on the right there's a link to the page.

My funny blog experience was that a lady posted on the Xtracycle board, asking about chain guards because she wore dresses. We had a brief conversation about assorted options.
Three days later, I was looking for costume information so that I could play the part of a Quaker lady and so I googled "simple dress" and "bonnet" (because I had one but wanted to make sure it was at least remotely related to what might have been worn) and Bam! there was this lady's blog! Cycling, bonnet patterns... of course they're related!

He works for LA Airport PD, I'm not sure how many riders they had this year. I saw the blog of the cross country riders...that was very cool!

Brandy,
LAX had several riders. I helped put some of their bikes together, rode with them and ate with them a few times. good folks.

Trek420,
This is why I love the internet...drilling down through your page, my dh looks over, sees a picture, and asks "who's Jack Rudinow?" Now we both know.

Pikato,
love the weightloss meter at the top. Don't think I could do that so publicly. Keep up the good work, if you can, given the mouth-watering stuff Susiej has available....ummm, donuts for dinner!

One of the guys that my husband carpools to work with was on the ride and I know that he wasn't a cyclist prior to this...he said it was an amazing experience. They lost an officer last April, so I know that this ride was very meaningful to them.

My blog address is in my sig line. Some cycling posts, along with philosophy-of-daily-life-in-the-21st-century stuff. Plus photos, jokes, and links.

Trek: like your page! Man, now I really wanna do some akido akaido okey dokey.
