I’m on CB Radio Now (but nobody else is)
Posted on April 16th, 2009 No commentsSince I’ll be driving a long time, I’m trying to come up with things to make the time pass. I figure a CB radio could do that and maybe give some heads up on speed traps and traffic conditions. So, I contacted some ham radio friends of mine and figured out how to buy a CB radio and properly wire it up to my car. As soon as I got it all set up, I rushed out and drove up and down I-35 for 20 minutes and all I heard were two short unintelligible blurbs, and some guy in his house asking for a mic test. I went home and found the blog of some trucker guy and he says truckers almost all just listen to Sat. radio or I-Pods nowadays.
Even if it doesn’t help me out much, I must say that having a 3 foot antenna on top of my 92 Accord looks totally ridiculous, which is just my style.

Thinking About Sponsors
Posted on April 15th, 2009 No commentsI’ve been thinking that nobody is going to want to sponsor me to waste my time. However, I think people might donate to see me waste my time, and get to be a sponsor. I figure I have to give them a little something too, so I just ordered a roll of that white magnetic sheet material. I figure I can get people to donate $10 to some charity and get a 2×1 foot banner of magnet that they can do anything they want with, and I’ll stick it on the side of the car during the drive.
The roll is 24″ by 10 feet and cost me $50 including shipping (14 pounds!)

New website
Posted on April 11th, 2009 No commentsI’ve registed a domain name and I’ve set up my first WordPress installation. Already I’m very impressed with its ease of use.
I added one main page “Planned Route”, you can click it in the nav bar at the top.
