I’m Jim Priest. Husband, father (of two), developer, and avid motorcyclist.
My blog is a mish mash of programming stuff (mostly related to ColdFusion), motorcycling, parenting and the occasional movie and book review.

Hobbies
I’m an avid motorcyclist and currently ride a BMW R1100GS. I also enjoy building and flying electric remote controlled aircraft. I’ve also recently begun camping in a hammock! And of course I still enjoy tinkering with computers. In the last few years I’ve become interested in Linux and currently run Ubuntu on my home computer (no more Windows)!
