yet another blog

Its been a while since I've bothered with online blogging of any type.  I remember farting around with a blog before content management systems made it so easy.  I did a few with my own domain name but nothing that lasted very long or had anything useful.  I think the longest I've ever contributed to a blog was my Xanga over 5 years ago.

My main motivation for this blog is to keep my self in check with studying for my Cisco certifications.  I figure if I can find a study buddy then they can also be an accountability partner.  I went through the CCNA and CCNP tests which I earned in 2003 and expired in 2006.  Since then, the certification has changed quite a bit and it feels like such a drag when I think about going through the whole process again.  Ultimately I want to get a CCIE in routing and switching which means the CCNA & CCNP is a prerequisite.

The other main topics I want this to be centered around are bicycling and music.  I ride a Trek 7.3FX which I enjoy taking on the Katy Trail and on the roads.  In 2009 I completed the MS-150 from Peculiar to Sedalia, MO.  On the music side I enjoy "DJ'ing", remixing, and occasionally producing stuff.  I'm really enjoying Ableton Live because it does just about anything I'd want a music program to do. (whether that be as a DJ, remixer, or producer)
