"Just because I don't Care doesn't mean I don't Understand!" - Homer J. Simpson.

I'm Kevin Hill and this is my homepage. I am not a tv show. I live in the Chicago Area (although I think I would prefer Hawaii or Portland, OR, or just about anywhere warmer and less flat than Illinois, which is most of the country) and work for a a particle accelerator laboratory doing computer stuff.

I'm updating this for 2006, thats three straight years of annual updates. Please excuse the old, outdated picture of myself.

Becky and I had a baby this year! He's KJ, and his web page is here.

Being a UNIX geek, I co-founded TheLinuxShow!!.

A few years I finally got my Motorcycle license, thanks to the MSF class at Waubansee (local community college). I bought a used 2002 Buell Blast. Here's some pictures of me with my blast.

After the Blast, I bought a 1993 Honda Nighthawk 750 from my former brother in law. It had been sitting for quite a while before I got it and needed quite a bit of carb work to get it running. It never did really run quite right.

I then acquired a 1976 Triumph Bonneville. It was running, but the electronic ignition module on it apparently died. It is awaiting a dismantling and partial restoration over this winter.

December '05 I traded in the Nighthawk on a 2004 BMW R1150R. I'm very happy with this bike. Coincidentally I bought it from the same dealer I bought my Triumph from, Tag Sport BMW in Geneva, IL. I also sold my Blast.

I also play guitar and write music when I have a few spare moments. Oh well, thats enough for now :)

OK, I was bored a couple years ago so I had to jump on the bandwagon and create my very own news/portal Blog site. So be sure to check out http://www.vnetwork.com/ for the latest news thats interesting to me, and maybe a few other like minded people.
