Geek on Wheels ponders…his new wheels!

FINALLY! Or as my Texan cousin textually screamed at me as if he was a spanish soccer announcer....CHHHHHAAAAIIIIRRRRRR!!!! Well, in truth it isn't really FINALLY. I've now had my new chair for about a month...and though I meant to write a blog before the holidays about it, compare it to the old one and explain...

Cola Karma bites a Geek on Wheels

I hate diet coke. Always have. I can never get over the taste of aspartame, more specifically the horrid after taste it leaves like an oily carpet on your tongue. For years I have joked that it's actually Die-t Coke...and have chuckled at all the recent news about how diet drinks really are worse for...

So how does a geek on wheels drive anyway?

That has to be a variation on the second most commonly asked question I get. Well come on, the MOST common question is fairly obvious don't you think? I now have a host of interesting stories tell on my next vacation when that question gets asked over and over again...believe me the real story gets...

Geek on Wheels needed some inspiration tonight…FOUND IT!

Haven't written in way too long, even though I have about four posts in the pipeline...the combination of autumn ills, work silliness, exhaustion, new drug combinations for muscle spasms and about every other excuse anyone who likes to write has ever come up with NOT write, has forced me to start a post with a...

The frustration of being “able-disabled”

Yep, there goes Jason, making up another word. I do that quite often when I can't find a real one that fits what I'm trying to say. This one has been on my mind for a while, but events of late have brought my frustration with this to the fore...and its tough to discuss without...

A Geek is getting NEW wheels

It seems like I have a host of stories from our cruise this past that I haven't had the energy to blog about, but this one I have been purposefully holding back and you'll quickly see why. I'm getting a new chair! I wrote a post a few months back about GI Joe! No wait...it...

A geek on wheels doesn’t need a “cure”

Since getting back from out summer cruise, I've had one buggaboo in my head...and this late cool night in early autumn I feel a need to "discuss" it. I've been pondering how best to discuss it without actually offending anyone. I know I know, since when do I give a rat's ass about offending anyone?...

Les Miserables 2013 – still making a geek sing

Really you don't want to hear that. Seriously. As much as I love "Stars" and "Bring Him Home" even I acknowledge that my shower singing voice for them is TERRIBLE. So I kept the urge in check this past weekend when my wife and I had the joy of seeing the return of Les Miserables...

Geek on Wheels ponders “knowing is half the battle”

If you grew up on after school cartoons like I did, then you know that quote all too well. G.I. Joe (not the rather silly movies of today of course). Each episode would end with some lesson to the kids, telling them that knowing was halfway to a goal, or an understanding. For a lesson...

Geek on Wheels cruises on the world’s biggest cruise ship!

If you watch Discovery channel at all (you know before their latest Shark Week fiasco) you may have seen a show covering the construction of the Oasis of the Seas, a Royal Caribbean cruise ship that was, at the time, the largest in the world. Last week some friend, my wife and I got the...
