Alright, I finally went and did it this past weekend. I’ve gone ahead with my idea of creating a snowmobiling focused blog, called Snowmoblog.
So I thought I didn’t have time to write on one blog, eh, well now there’ll be two to keep up. In all honesty, the idea keeps me going. Work sucks, and I needed a creative outlet that I have a great passion about. The fun part (I’m hoping) is to have that outlet and be able to talk about blogging, web, and technical related things here at RickMahn.com. If you are into snowmobiling, check it out over the next few weeks – its in a rough form right now, but it will start coming together as I work out the kinks.
Snowmoblog is powered by WordPress, and I’ve got a temporary 3-column theme that will work for now, though I’ll be working on a custom theme for that site as well as this one in my spare time. The hard part will be the graphics, as I’ve mentioned before, it is just outside my capabilities sometimes so I may need to outsource that part.

Kathy Sierra has a great post called Do Something Scary. She quotes Eleanor Roosevelt who said “Do one thing every day that scares you”, and continues talking about trying new things (taking risks) and expanding your experiences. This is something I’ve been trying to do for the last few weeks, and have had a few minor successes (at least in my book), so I’m going to keep tacking new risks, try new things.
The post is a really good read, you should also check out Death by risk-aversion, another post by Kathy.

Robert Scoble has a post about a new OPML sharing service that Dave Winer is launching. You can read all about it at TechCrunch.
Uploaded my OPML file of all my current feeds, and browsed around the service. Its really quite interesting the ways you can sort and look up information on different feeds. Neat stuff!
Thank you Dave!

If so, the new Firefox Extension from coComment might be of interest.

Got tagged with the Three Things Meme by Kent Newsome
For this meme, you should identify three things that you would like to see occur during your lifetime. It can be anything, anything at all – whether serious or whimsical. Others have touched on more big-picture items like world peace, ending world hunger, etc… All good noble things. So here are mine:
1.)Â Â Â A motorcycle “style” other than the current crotch rockets and copies of Harley Davidson V-twin cruisers (I miss the ’80s Honda Nighthawks)
2.)Â Â Â Snow year ’round (I’m a winter sports enthusiast)
3.)Â Â Â An operating system release that actually meets my expectations
So, who to tag next (need to think a little)…
Jerry Loss, Rod Boothby
