Binary Bikers!

So I was watching the movie “Wild Hogs” the other day and realized, in my own nerdy way, that having a “gang” name for a friendly group of bikers is pretty damned cool. I wanted one. So I talked it over with Big Bad John. Since we’re both in the software engineering field we humorously […]
