About Speedingmotorcycle.org V2.1

Hi There
I’m John, this is Speedingmotorcycle. I live in Birmingham, Alabama with my beautiful wife and son, and our many pets. I work for a large corporation, and sometimes get a little sidework as well.

First, A Little About Me
I enjoy email. I don’t like it when people misplace punctuation when using quotes. I do not write nearly as much as I should. I would like to visit Europe. I would like to see a movie this weekend. I do not sound like a Southerner, but I am one. I wish I was a professional soccer player, or at least good enough to be one. I am working on an MBA, but not right now. I like music very much. I am learning to like football, especially Auburn Football. I used to really enjoy meeting new people, but I’m not sure I’m still good at it, and I don’t think I enjoy it as much as I used to, but I still like it. I graduated from Auburn. I liked it so much I went back and graduated from Auburn again. I am not a mechanic, but I wish that I was. I think we could all use a little more cowbell.

Enough About Me, Let’s Talk About My Web Site
Speedingmotorcycle is powered by the fine Movable Type publishing system, version 2.66, and I highly recommend it. Speedingmotorcycle is hosted by Your-Site, and I have no complaints.* All of the content on Speedingmotorcycle is mine, unless otherwise noted**. Initially, I based the Movable Type templates on another person’s design, but I’ve moved away from that, so I’m not going to worry about citing that anymore. It’s pretty much an amalgam, loosely based on Movable Type Style templates. The term “speedingmotorcycle” does not really have anything to do with anything. It is the title of a song that I like (best when done by Yo La Tengo and Daniel Johnston), but I like lots of songs, and this one shouldn’t feel all that special about the name of this site. It just happened to work for me, that’s all. Speedingmotorcycle is one word, capitalization is optional. I hear that InterCAps are for losers, so I try to avoid that if possible. Speedingmotorcycle is not necessarily factual, true or anything else for that matter. I do hope it is interesting, and fun to read.

In Closing
For anyone who was interested, About Speedingmotorcycle.org V1.0 is gone, but V2.0 is here.

*UPDATE - 2005-04-21: Speedingmotorcycle was powered by Movable Type and hosted by Your-Site, but this site is not.
**Which reminds me, the motorcycle image at the top of these pages is not mine, but I don’t remember where I got it (other than that I went to Google Images and searched). So, if its yours, and you want it back, or don’t want me to use it, or whatever, just let me know and I’ll stop.
