I am a Canadian, and I am currently traveling through Asia with a touring bicycle. These are stories and pictures from my trip.
WordPress Themes, Zip Files, FTP Clients, & Screen Options
Despite the nice weather on Sunday this past weekend, I didn’t go out exploring. I was still intent on figuring out the technical side of this blog, and the hours disappeared as I fiddled and experimented and tested.

World Biking – Quest to Cycle Every Country on Earth
On Sunday, the weather finally cleared up a bit and it stopped raining. That’s good news for Amaya and Eric, two people I know through the Internet who are currently cycling in Taiwan.

Radio Paradise Internet Music Station

That wouldn’t take so long except that I find everything so non-intuitive that I need to go some distance into actually setting something …
Inserting Links in Posts and Pages in WordPress

Taipei Rooftop Apartments & WordPress Custom Menu and Post Formats
It’s a Sunday morning over here in Taipei, and I am about to have my first cup of coffee of the day.
