I can spend hours some nights just trying to figure out what is going on in people’s brain boxes. Recently I started doing the old “star a question bit” and I was fascinated by nationality based results. So I made some screenshots of the suggested searches and will continue to add to them.

One night we started talking about other possible projects and I mentioned that I had an idea for a story about a group of kids that ride around on bikes and attempt to solve crimes. He said, “Send something over” and I did. A month later we had the beginnings of The Bike Patrol. The illustrated story had been a rousing success attracting many readers who are returning week after week to see what will happen next. Join in the Adventure!

Every week I try and cover a topic with a certain amount of depth (at least at a level I am comfortable with). My hope is that it is both entertaining and informative. Viva Pop Culture!
