Wow…I’m still beaming from what happened early this morning. I never expected to get ‘into it’ like a lot of people have been but I now ‘get it’ after witnessing first hand what the Olympic Torch relay means to people. This morning I had the privilege of doing a ride along in a GM support…
I was invited to check out two prototype models of Chevy’s upcoming Volt plug-in electric vehicle today. I can safely say nobody has ever offered to let me drive a pre-production vehicle before so I jumped at the chance.

One of the cooler benefits the Olympic Games brings to the host city is all kinds of side events. The Cultural Olympiad is one of them and tonight was the preview for the Cultural Olympiad Digital Edition (CODE).

I managed to get a…
This past weekend, I was invited to a corn maze tweetup as well, we were looking for a location for a photowalk as part of our No Compacts Allowed Facebook group. Seemed like a good idea to merge the two events and take a bunch of camera gear down to the Bose Corn Maze, deep…
