There used to be a lot of stuff here. Over the past 15 years I've done hundreds of articles, Motorcycle Reviews, Car reviews...all sorts of stuff.
Now it's all gone. The site was done in WordPress, the most popular CMS in the world, and, apparently, the most hacked. My site got hacked, blacklisted by Spam Assassin, and that got my hosting account suspended. WordPress takes hours and hours of security work when hackers find a WordPress installation. The hackers hammer away at it, and you have to hammer away at increasing security. I just didn't have the time to keep up, and the hackers won. So, I had to erase everything.
But that's OK. I rebuilt the site with the Grav CMS, then, later, built my own custom CMS from scratch. Now, I'm on the third iteratation of my own cms. It's called Light CMS. It's built on the Laravel and Filament frameworks. If you want to know more about it, it's publicly available on GitHub. I think it's a pretty neat CMS. It uses SQLite as the back-end database, so everything in the CMS is self-contained, with no dependencies. It's super easy to install and set up...like "30 seconds of effort" easy. Check it out if you want a lightweight CMS with a some cool features, and which doesn't require much technical knowledge at all to set up and use.
As I mentioned, a lot of historical content is gone from here. On the other hand, a huge portion of that content is contained in my book, The Joy of Automotion: Musings From a Vehicular Dilettante, so you can go to Amazon and buy it. You should do that right now.
If you're interested in economics, but don't want to read a dry and unreadable book with a bunch of math, check out my first book, Slackernomics: Basic Economics for People Who Think Economics is Boring.
Please check out the Articles page. That's where all the new content will be.
