I just stumbled across this. It’s a search box inside one of the search results. I’m not sure who’s privileged enough to get these, but it’s an interesting usability idea.

For years, I’ve been telling my wife, “I should get a motorcycle.” Every time, her response has been, “I think you should.” But I never could quite justify it. Current gas prices have changed my mind, I was able to finally convince myself it was worthwhile.
In May, I took the MSF Basic Rider Course. It was worth every penny and I highly recommend it (unless for some reason I don’t like you.)
Monday, I drove this beauty home.

I’m still in the break-in phase, so I haven’t really pushed her too hard, but I am sure having fun riding her around. I now take a long detour (8+ miles) on my way into my office. In reality, I’m taking the long way anywhere. I’m itching to get past the first 500 miles of break-in, so I can see how she does on the freeway.
I’ve also found a great online community of people that ride KLR650s.

We just got back from a 5 day trip to Oregon. We went over to Depoe Bay, up to Portland, down to Salem for a BYU soccer game, back to Portland and then back home. The girls did a great job dealing with all the time in the car.
Trip stats:
2167.5 miles
40 hours, 20 min in-car time

For those of you that run AVG Free (free for personal use) there is a major update available. For those of you that don’t run any antivirus software on your computer - SHAME ON YOU!
This new version includes anti-spyware, so if you have AVG’s anti-spyware (Ewido) installed, you’ll have to uninstall it first (go to Control Panel, then Add/Remove Programs.)
Here are a few bonuses of AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition:

• available free of charge to home users for the life of the product
• virus database updates are available for the lifetime of the product
• doesn’t slow your system down (like other anti-virus systems I’ve seen)
• integrated spyware protection
• LinkScanner feature that gives users safety rankings for their Google, Yahoo, and MSN searches.

So, go and download it!
The install only takes a few minutes so don’t put it off, do it now!
