Blog Posts from Trip

Blogging at the Farm

It’s no secret that a large part of my trip was devoted to recording every minutae of the experience. Doing so was no small effort on my part. Once I hit New Zealand, I pretty much wrote a blog post, posted pictures, and created a custom Google map for every single day of the trip. I’d be lying if I said it was easy. In general, I was spending about an hour and a half each and every day putting in the work to share this stuff with everyone. However, once I got into the habit. It wasn’t all that bad. Usually, at the end of a day cycling, I’d buy a giant beer, and sit down with my gear and work at it. I’d usually get some pretty interested people wanting to know what I was up to, so I’d make some new friends. By the time I was done my writing, I had other things to do. Also, I knew there was no way I’d ever be able to capture my thoughts unless it was the same day things happened.

Catching up with ActiveSteve

Hello all! Well, doubtlessly there are those out there who have been starting to wonder what is happening with good ole ActiveSteve. Well, fear not, I’m about to fill you all in on the most recent happenings 🙂 There have been a number of contributing factors as to my delay, not the least of which is the fact that my home computer crapped out on me, causing me a certain amount of grief in the interim. However, all that is sorted out, and I’m now typing this on a brand new machine that I’ve put together. Oh yeah, and since I was getting a new computer, I decided that it was time to build a new computer desk. You can see the pictures from that little project over on flickr. Of course getting a new computer never is as easy as plug in and go, and I spent many late nights (and continue to) recovering old data, as well as configuring both my new computer, and my resurrected old computer (it now will be my dedicated music studio machine). Now, as exciting as that probably is to some of you, others are probably more interested in some of the other recent activities, so with that in mind, read on at the link and find out what’s new.
