Hello world!

Well I finally took the plunge and decided to start my own blog. I’m hoping to make this into a launching point for many interesting discussions, sharing of information and expoloration of ideas. These things are almost always enhanced when others can participate and comment, so I welcome your comments. Visit often and let me know you were here!
About my blog title:
I am a motorcycle enthusiast and often like to do routine maintenance myself. One way to monitor the health of your engine is to check the strength of the spark across the electrodes of your spark plugs. If you see a “fat blue spark”, all is well. I enjoy stimulating discussions and often serve as a catalyst to get things going; hence the name.
