Fundraising Update #1

Hiya friends,

So if you follow me in some of the other corners of the internet, you'll have noticed I finally began my fundraising for The Ride to Conquer Cancer!

A big big thank you to everyone who has donated so far, and to a good friend of mine for helping me make my initial fundraising video. I'm over $400 after only a couple days, which is pretty amazing. You all rock!

For anyone who would like to donate, click on over to this link and enter any amount you'd like in the "Freewheeler" option. Keep your receipts for your taxes!

I'll be posting some video and blogs about my training journey, which is off to a slow start, but it's a start! I've also adopted a "STOP EATING SO MUCH" strategy, we'll see how long that lasts.

Other than that, life's been pretty routine since starting my career. Work a lot, eat a little, sleep a medium amount, and gym when I can.

I'm planning on doing some fundraising events once the weather warms up, maybe some group rides, an online raffle and more. If you have ideas, let me know in a comment below!

Well, this was just a short update because it's been a long day, but again, truly, thanks to my donors so far. I'm really excited about this and can't wait to keep the wheels spinning (HA... you had to know I'd sneak a bike pun in!)

Until next time.

Euroblog Part 7

This series ended up being far longer than I anticipated. I could make an ebook about my travels! Who am I kidding, no one would want to read that... let alone buy it. Also, side note: Polarsteps was so great up until a couple days ago when it went haywire and threw a bunch of phantom travel paths on my map. Support said it has been fixed however, there was no way to remove the phantom lines. This all makes for a ton of work for me to redo all of the travel steps. It's unfortunate but I understand these things happen. Anyway, it's all updated now and working as it should, sorry to my 7000  7 followers for any inconvenience. Now that it's all back to normal, here is the link if you'd like to check out my trip! If you missed any of the series, check it out on my social media feeds or on my blog homepage. The last post is right here! July 22 2017 Wow, am I ever behind on this. [Left off in Florence] So I went up the massive dome of the Florence Cathedral...

"Creative yet Clickbaity Title on Solar Energy!"

In the last post, I talked about what the Sun was. A giant nuclear fusion reactor. And since it is so good at being the Sun, it not only provides heat to our Earth, but also light. Lots of light. Hopefully, this isn't news to you (yikes!). Light is an interesting thing we very much take for granted. Look around, there is light in the room you're in, light coming from the screen you're reading this on (unless you're psycho and still print things..) and light from outside. Even at night! The light from the moon, isn't really light from the moon, but a reflection of light from the Sun. Did I just blow your mind? Probably not.. I guess I'm failing as a writer. There is a lot of light available, and all that light also carries energy, rather, it is energy. In reality, the light from your phone screen doesn't really have the potential to power anything, neither does a light bulb. But think about how many light bulbs it would take to equal the amount of light t...

Let's Talk About Timelines

This was originally going to be solely a discussion on time travel. However, discussing the timeline is a rather good starting point before or while discussing time travel. I've always wanted to write about my thoughts on time and time travel. It is one of those obscure enough topics where anyone can theorize about the generalities of it. But are those theories based in any realm of realism? There are well-respected theorists like Stephen Hawking who have gone into great detail regarding time travel. There are a ton of TV shows and movies which go to great lengths to be as accurate as possible. In our current understanding of physics, time travel is mathematically allowed. But the reality is that we just don't know, yet. Perhaps there is another law of physics we have yet to discover which proves time travel is fundamentally not possible. But it's fun to think about regardless. Let's start simple. If I were to build a time machine right now, would I be able to use i...
