Writing under the influence of twitter

I’m currently working on a project looking at the measurement of online influence. Or is it influence online? Or is that influence of online measurement? The whole concept is hard to grasp. What value do these values and lists have? First question, what do you measure and what does it mean or imply? Image by bubbo-tubbo [...]

Class of the Field

The sim racers of the IZOD IndyCar road course series continue to chase one man for championship glory ? Ryan Field.  Despite going winless last week at magnificent Barber Motorsports Park, France’s Jeremy Bouteloup made some slight headway in his efforts to cut into Field’s lead in Division One and in the overall standings but still finds himself 90 points adrift of the leader four races into the six race schedule. David Williams took the lion’s share of the points at Barber, thanks to a convincing win in Sunday’s 2563 Strength of Field event.  Williams started from pole and was never seriously threatened as he came home 19s clear of a terrific battle between Bouteloup, PJ Stergios and Ken Leach.  Leach, who finished third to Field and Tomas A Klopp [...]

Mustard Festival Won?t Continue ? What to do instead

This was to be the 20th annual Mustard Festival but the event is taking a ?hiatus? as it states on the Mustard Festival website. I must admit the only event I ever participated in was the mustard photo contest. All the other official mustard events sounded like fun but they were way too expensive for my pocket book. Just because there is no official Mustard Festival this year, don?t let that stop you from enjoying the wild mustard and visiting the Napa Valley. You can always make up your own Mustard Festival activities. We love this time of the year and here are a few of our favorite mustard activities that will be easy on your budget. Continue reading
