About motohagiography

Good writing and contributing to public discourse requires a certain level of risk and often a bit of provocation. If a comment has really piqued you, chances are we have similar interests with different viewpoints and we have enough in common that you should comment. Our best is only what we do.

This handle moto-hagiography is a nonsense word based on a quip about using machines and media for self aggrandizement.

"Don't be so humble, you're not that great."

    that's a philosophical view. We don't want a single grid, we want power in places we need it. Building for a single grid has a bunch of expensive opinions that serve mainly to prov…
