Blogger is better for journaling because it allows us to stylize the update's font.

It does seem a little more cumbersome to use than Facebook, too

I will try to add more updates.

It's been a long time

Facebook? Or Blogspot!?!? 

(I do like the text/font options)

Thanks, Taryn Clausing, for unknowingly reminding me that I have a Blogspot page.

My Brother Cameron Clausing and his wife Taryn are in the process of adopting a child from Lesthotho, Africa. Follow them as they go through their adventure...

Thursday, New Years Eve, 2010

Today I went Downtown to get some coffee with my Mom and Stepfather at Harmony Cafe in downtown Appleton.

Afterwards we went to The Fire art studio, also downtown. In this studio, you can make your own mosaic using material they supply. I'm really impressed that a business like this exists, in the first place. I hope enough people support it, to make it successful!

Disposable ( awesome book!)

My buddy Chris let me borrow this awesome book!

Memorial Presbyterian Church [November 8, 2010]

I'd like to explore the Presbyterian church. I'd like to start by attending a service at local (biking distance) Memorial Presbyterian Church.

I like it because it seems to have a good mix of tradition and fervor.

Do any of by blog-readers have any experience with Presbyterianism? If so, what'd you think?

I'll definitely post updates about this

Somebody's future tattoo? [9-12- 10]

In today's "This Day in History" [September 12] cave paintings were discovered in the Cave of Lascaux. I'd really like to get a tricycle tattoo. I would mind one of these though!

B. Spoke Tailor makes some nice looking bike clothing. They make some awesome, custom knickers.

I'm watching Brett Favray, hopefully, get beat by the Saints tonight! We'll see...

Appleton Ride of Silence

I'd like to participate in an upcoming Ride of Silence. You should too!

Friday, May 14, 2010 - Al Roker won?!?!

If fat Al Roker can do it, so can you:

Where have I been!?!?

I'm trying to figure that question out too!

Monday, February 8, 2009 Branding.

Here's a very interesting that touches the concept of branding.

I'd like to find ways that I can brand triking...I often use the word tricycle when referring to my trike. This is a good step in creating a trike-brands. The word "Tricycle" is often associated with youth. Elderly, grey-haired people are the ones that ride "Trikes".

Also, I'm totally against the term "Adult-trike". What else do people think a hair chested, five-o'clock shadowed, 33 (soon to be 34) year old gentleman, like myself would ride? A "kiddy trike"?

When you tell your friends about me, please mention that I ride a tricycle.

These bikes are really interesting.

I know that I could rig my tricycle up for some delivery/messenger labor. Pizza would be really fun to do.

Jeez, I blink my eyes and it's THREE days later!

As you see, Blogger has a new "check box" option to rate your posts. This sets up the possibility of people fictionalizing their entries just so the get good grades.

How do you folks feel about this?

If you respond you have two options: use your keyboard to manually type your response, thus telling me exactly what's on your mind. Or, check one of the generic boxes below...

If I weren't balance challenged I'd get a bike like this.

Friday, December 18, 2009...Dance Your Ass Off.

I just got done watching "Dance Your Ass Off" while eating lunch.

The contestants in this show start out chubby, and compete for the biggest weight loss. In the website's words: "Twelve finalists, nearly 3,000 lbs, one goal -- to go from an eating machine to a dancing machine..."

While watching it, I took what they said about living as a fat person as true.

But, how do I know that they're being honest!?!? Afterall, the show needs ratings to survive. Maybe the show's producers secretly script the show, and market as reality to get ratings?

If this is how it really is, we'll have a generation growing up thinking that fiction is true. And their lives will mimic this false reality. In short time, we'll be living in a world created humans...

There's a sci-fi novel in this idea somewhere!

I wish I would've known about these bikes when my daughter was a little one. Bikes like this are a very nice thing to see. My best friend Mike is having a baby - well, actually, his wife Phyllis is doing the hard work, but you know what I mean. I'm definitely going to recommend one for him and his future tyke.

Who'swhatwinswhat?

My daughter, Veronica, likes to invent her own, sometimes very peculiar, games.

For example, I just got done playing one of her games called "Who'swhatwinswhat".

This game is played with two people. One person closes their eyes and, at the same time, makes their limbs limp. The other person manipulates the limp person's limbs to whatever position the other person wants. For example, while my eyes were closed, I felt my hand mess up my hair and my finger go up my nose.

The manipulator tells the limp person when they can open their eyes. It's very important to be visibly embarrassed by your new position.

The manipulator then counts to ten. Whoever says the phrase "Who'swhatwinswhat" first wins, and gets to be the manipulator.


I honestly have no clue where she got the phrase "who'swhatwinswhat", but I have to admit it's a very creative phrase for a very creative game

It's all about simplicity!

I hope the new look of my blog doesn't startle anybody.

I just want to keep it as basic as I can. I'd love to find a way to change the bar above to plain black.

Also, typewriter font would be cool.

I should keep this blog open on my desktop to remind me to write in it. Now, excuse as I go watch my daughter play some video games...
