Looks like the new software scaped off all the old comments. Hmm. Is that good or bad? Will this platform shift effect your site's current growth more than the start of hockey? Looks like you're having fun. Expect you will hit the 100k mark. I'll stay tuned. Dave Cutcher, Certified Evil Genius
I've started a new project which is turning out to be much more successful than I had hoped. It's called the V-Strom Owners Map Project and it's located at http://www.beens.org/v-strom/ . [ direct link to map ] Basically, anyone that owns a V-Strom sends me their location (city is okay, postal/zip code is better) and I plot it on a map. To assure everyone's privacy, I have a strict policy where I state that I will never release any personal information that has been disclosed to me to anyone. The problem is, some V-Strom owners want to be able to use the map to hook up with other V-Strom owners. (Actually, this isn't a problem, this is great!) So, here's my solution.

@dougpete sent me a message this morning telling me about this new visual programming environment called Google Blockly , rec ommending I add the site to my Google A-Z reference document (which I did - thanks Doug!). I quickly tried out the Maze demo and produced the program shown in the picture. I know it's not as efficient as it could be, but I only had a few minutes to create it. Maybe someone reading this will show me up! (assuming the maze is always the same) The website looks like it might be a fun way to get your students to start learning computer science concepts. I look forward to see what kinds of projects grow out of it, and how teachers incorporate it into their classrooms. I know I'll be showing it to all my students on Monday! To get started yourself with Blockly, visit http://code.google.com/p/google-blockly/ . Update: here's a great article from Wired about it: http://www.wired.com/w...
As I was contemplating this summer's ride I realized I never updated my trip log map using the new states I travelled through last summer. I only added a few, but here's the updated map. This summer I expect to take care of most of the states in the south-west.
