This blog was created for several reasons. Firstly, it is an attempt to abandon facebook yet still have a way to share things. Second, I will eventually be posting reviews, musings, short stories and sharing the occasional article; a blog is a good place to do that. Lastly, it is a placeholder. It may not be an active, flourishing blog for the first few months but having a place in the blogosphere will force me to do something with it.
About me: I am currently a senior at Western Michigan University. I will be graduating with a bachelors in criminal justice in the spring of 2012. In addition to taking a full credit load, I work full time. This is the primary reason this blog will be sparse for the time being; I simply am too busy to release a lot of quality stuff that isn't school related.
I am a DJ at WMU's student-run radio station, WIDR. I serve as the host of the specialty show called The LAN Party. The show focuses on video game and soundtrack music with a hearty dose of prog/metal/post-rock thrown in as well. You can find the show's blog with all of the podcasts here.
Motorcycles are one of my passions. Though relatively new to the hobby (3 years in the saddle), I am firmly trapped in the grasp of two-wheeled transport. My current bike is a first-gen Yamaha FZ1. I intend to take a lot of motorcycle trips in the future and this blog will serve as a place to post ride reports.
About the blog's name: Open-classification is a variation on the phrase "open-class" (a name which was already taken). Open-class can mean a lot of things. It also describes the category of motorcycles in the 1000cc-and-up range. This blog will represent the spirit of the phrase. Hopefully no one theme will be central. That said, expect the majority of postings to be about motorcycles, music and media content.
I look forward to sharing. Thanks in advance for reading and contributing.
