Bike Photos


I love my bike. (Yes, I'm down to only 1.)

I've just put a gallery of bike photos online.

Civil Rights Photographs


I've been scanning vintage photos of the Civil Rights Movement. I own tons of stuff and if you're not in my living room, you don't get a chance to see them.

Not any more. I'm scanning select images: the Black Panthers, Stokely Carmichael, H. Rap Brown, etc. I have items like FBI wanted posters as well as photographs.

Now that I've started, I'm finding it hard to stop.

Black Panther Party photos


I've started to digitize my collection of civil rights photographs beginning with vintage photos of the Black Panther Party. They're available online at JetCityOrange.com/Black-Panther-Party/.

There's plenty more yet to come...

Website Hosted on PogoPlug

Pogoplug web server AzaleaRSS.com
AzaleaRSS.com is one of the first websites hosted on a Pogoplug. AzaleaRSS is a free RSS editor written in Microsoft Excel and creates feeds, podcasts, and webcasts.

The Pogoplug is a very small Linux appliance from CloudEngines originally designed as a way to mount USB drives online. The nerds at AzaleaRSS see Pogoplugs as cheap Linux computers and something kewl to play with. Using an 8GB USB flash drive for storage, a web server was born. Total cost: less than 100 dollars.

The AzaleaRSS server runs Nginx and PHP, and was configured by Cory King in Seattle.
