Bowlcut’s little piece of the world

Well I did it today.  I have had this little game for a long time.  I remember doing it back in Boy Scouts.  Go out and try to get yourself lost.  Its actualy pretty hard to do sometimes, cause the mind will find ways of not letting you do it.  But I went for a ride today cause I was bored.  Sky looked like it was straight out of the Simpsons, so blue with such white fluffy clouds.  I took off and took back roads up to Clarksville.  Then I wanted to get home by way of Dickson.  I have done this before, so I saw a road I always wanted to know where it went.  Plus I have been on highway 48 too many times anyway.  So off I went…50 miles later I ended up back on 48, about 3-4 miles north of where I was.  So one HUGE ass loop.  I was so lost at one point I found a place with a cross road sign and good cell signal to find a way home.  One good thing about the Treo is Google Maps app on it.  So I was two turns away from 48, but never would have known it.  Problem was the river.  You cant cross it but at like 3 spots from there to Nashville.  So that kept screwing me up.  I couldnt believe I actualy felt lost enough to get directions.  I was amazed.

Not often do you find out there are some major names living around you. Well major names to the tech community, in which I belong. While Im a small pea in this pod, I like to think all us geek’s tend to stick together. Thats why when reading Nick Bradbury and Rex Hammock respective blogs I felt compelled to post this…

Max It Out is a charity based here in Nashville. It supports the research of meningitis and a cure towards the problem. Max Royka contracted bacterial meningitis when he was just 6 weeks old and that led his parents into forming a charity to support the research of this disease. They put on an event every year, but this year they are unable to spread the word because of rushing Max to the hospital last week. So the blogging community here in TN has been tapped with trying to spread the word. So if you are looking for a good cause to support….please donate. If you are looking for a good time, join them downtown on February 3rd and listen to some good music and talk to some good people.

So please spread the word if you can to anyone and everyone you know.
