League of American Bicyclists (member) The people that lobbied congress
for paved roads. Formerly the League of American Wheelmen. I understand why they changed to the gender
neutral name, but they used to have a cool three pointed icon and the acronym LAW...
-
Rails to Trails (member) These folks work on making trails out of
abondoned railroad beds. Trails like these are great walking/rollerblading/biking spots. As bike riders go,
I'm a roadie. The trails are a little too slow for my liking - if this were Germany and everyone obeyed the rules
and stayed left... the trails would be awesome. That said, I just slow down a little.

other media
maps
I've been a map fan since the single digits (an early age). Besides US.
Geological Survey, the best I've found are DeLorme's Atlas & Gazeteers. Suitable for driving, biking, or walking, they are sold by state and most (all?) states are covered. Unfortunately, neither DeLorme's nor anybody else's CDROMs match the detail of information in the large page Atlas & Gazeteers.
programming

Java
I have done a fair amount of Java programming. It is a good, general purpose language.
Mac
Once ported a body of code to the mac os 8 - can you say reboot. A great os to use, but horrible to program on.
Lisp/Scheme
love these languages. who needs more than a pair of parentheses for syntax?
Unfortunately, the business community does not concur.
