The Skirtmanwarrior Saga: February 2010
http://danielcstarr.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Adventure - Insight - Music - Bikes - Beer. Friday, February 26, 2010. Physics Problem of the Week. So I'm reading the current Dick Tracy. In the wake of the blast, several questions came up:. Why would someone pay two million bucks for a Stradivarius, when a cheap high-school orchestra violin would have exploded just as well? Why is there and embassy in Naperville? What are those two big hand-like things sticking out of the pool during the "FLOOOOM! It's a pretty interesting molecule, with a structure k...

Adventure - Insight - Music - Bikes - Beer. Saturday, January 23, 2010. What They've Been Doing In Area 51. Well, the cat's out of the bag: the US Air Force is traveling to other planets on a routine basis. All that stuff NASA's doing with the shuttle, space station and plans to go back to the moon someday, are just a smoke screen to keep us from knowing what's really going on. So, it's a bit of sci-fi, a bit of artistic license, perhaps? Somehow, this makes me feel better about the military budget. ...

http://danielcstarr.blogspot.com/2011/04/help-struggling-author.html
Adventure - Insight - Music - Bikes - Beer. Friday, April 29, 2011. Help a Struggling Author! Good news: The Last Protector. Is an official nominee in the "Global E-Book Awards" competition. (Yay! Bad news: being "nominated" for a competition just means I did the paperwork correctly. It doesn't mean that any of their judges have yet read the book, or for that matter that Global E-Book Awards World Domination Headquarters has even received a copy. All that stuff comes later. (Aww.). This third thing is wh...

Daniel C. Starr. Adventure - Insight - Music - Bikes - Beer. Friday, September 12, 2008. Adventure Touring, 1981-style. A big, soft touring bucket seat built on the stock dirt bike pan. With that, and the experience that I acquired houring out of a couple spring enduros (on a real. Dirt bike), I headed west. To get more practice riding this bigger, heavier bike off pavement,. The only way to get going, it turned out, was to dump the clutch, spin the rear wheel like mad to fling the mud off, and slither/s...

Daniel C. Starr: October 2008
http://danielcstarr-pages.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Daniel C. Starr. Adventure - Insight - Music - Bikes - Beer. Monday, October 6, 2008. This is Why We Love Software. In this election season, we're pretty used to seeing candidates and their supporters stating utter absurdities as if they were obvious facts, on the order of "the sun comes up in the morning." But as good as the politicos are at deadpanning insanity, they don't begin to compare to a computer. Here, two bits of absurdity I found in the last few days. Slight chance of nothing? Daniel C. S...

Adventure - Insight - Music - Bikes - Beer. Monday, August 22, 2011. CSI: Russian Horse Unit. Last night, the "Global E-Book Award" winners were announced. Alas, my book was not among them.

Daniel C. Starr. Adventure - Insight - Music - Bikes - Beer. Monday, January 26, 2009. I Never Found the Plane Crash (an adventure of sorts, Part V). After a refreshing night in Moab, I prepared for the big ride down to the Needles section of Canyonlands National Park on the Lockhart Basin Jeep road. I actually lucked out, and think I found the correct road on the third or fourth try. Not bad, all considered. There's a fork in the road shortly after Hurrah Pass. One direction heads south into Lockhar...
