BICYCLES Living in a small city allows me to get around on a bicycle. In good weather, I ride a road bike with tires that lots of folks say are too skinny. In bad weather, a big, heavy, hungarian-made MTB. LIFE I also like animals. On the weekends, I spend a couple hours at the local dog pound to walk dogs. This being the case, I do not eat much meat. INTERNET I remember when the public internet was new. I would go over to a friends house and we would surf the web with dial-up AOL. Over the years, I've had some great experiences with other people via the internet. Slowly things have changed. The internet is no longer an information service or a communications platform. It is a global surveillence network that manipulates the emotions and feelings of its users for profit or political gains. SPACE Fed up with the http-net, I departed the WWW for circumlunar.space on the gopher-net.
