Doing your own thing and going your own way can be a big trip. Face it, it can be a lot of fun hen you blaze your own trails and make your own path. Lately I have been trying to do more of it in the way of business and technology. Unfortunately, I have found that blazing new trails can be a lot of work.

I don’t normally like car racing, but this is pretty cool. School buses aren’t known for their handling and going around a race track at high speeds is bound to cause some chills and spills.
