the iphone is clearly pretty good. according to some analysts, something like 21 million other people agree with me on that score. just like he did with the ipod and itunes, steve jobs created a market-leading product with an almost cult-like following whose believers have once again carried apple’s stock price to near record levels....
Hey Will! I converted last year and admit that apple flat out knows how to design a UI! Been a longtime at@t customer but in a market with good coverage. I’m sure I would be frustrated with the service if it weren’t for my location. My only other complaint with the device is the lack of ability to store file types, other than pictures, on the device and attach them to emails. That problem on it’s own cements it’s feet in concrete as being a viable business tool.
Oh yeah… Change the damned font size on your blog so I can read it on an iPhone without having to constantly diddle the screen! 
Hey Will. Hopefully, if rumors are true, Verizon will be able to carry iphones. Again, rumors… I hope to speak with you sometime soon, and I think of you often.
I wish that Verizon already had the iPhone. I tried the phone with AT&T; coverage sucked even here in Austin. Luckily, I still had my Verizon phone, so I returned the iPhone after 8 days. Way cool phone though. Now, only if Apple could have been smarter with the iPad.
since iphone service is so sketchy maybe StevJO should come out with the ipon, you know a long slender white device that you pull the string on to fire off a flare that lets your friends and family know your whereabouts and that your still alive and kicking. they could sell ‘em in bulk at SAM’s or COSTCO!
i’ve been an iphone user since late 2007, and i’ll tell you straight up, i love it. i’m never the first guy to run right out and buy the latest cell phone technology because, quite frankly, i’ve always been content with whatever i can get for the cheapest price on my at&t contract. all the...

our iphones were life-saving, soul-saving, and heartstring-saving when we were apart – might be the best gift you have ever given me…
straight to the point…here are my words from the benefit race: lying in a hospital bed, day after day, night after night, for months on end… mostly unable to move or make your own choices about how you spend your time… gives you plenty of opportunities to think. i could have spent that time thinking...

Will, you are an amazing person and write so wonderfully. It does my heart good to hear that you are so successful in your journey to recovery. I so look forward to reading more of what you write. You are so blessed to have found someone to love and to love you. Carol sounds so wonderful. I wish you much happiness and know that you will be doing all the things you wish to do in time.
That was a great talk, Will. I was honored to be present for it. Sure was great to see you, my friend. And it was great to finally meet the wonderful lady you’ve been talking about for so long. One word: Wow! Keep on truckin’ buddy! I think 2010 is gonna be your year.

wish i could have been there to hear you speak. i am glad i got to read it instead. awesome dude.
So glad you made it to Texas for this benefit race. I am sure you have inspired many people with your words. I know you inspire me. I have know doubt you will ride again and walk down that mountain path with camera in hand.
i know it’s a hard day, babe… you gotta do what this post says: imagine yourself healthy again, visualize your healed self without all this pain, and me and you reclaiming our life together… i love you!
Hey Will we pray each and every day for your speedy recovery. I had never gotten into riding dirt bikes due to being a little scared of them but I know the feeling you get when I get on my motorcycle and take to the road and look at the wonderful world that out Lord has given us.
Be strong in your faith and you will be healed. Carol you are such a wonderful person and I had a great time when we met and ran errands. God bless you both. Bob Gomez
the reality of blogging in the web 2.0 world is you’re lucky if anybody reads your work. i’ve even heard that only 1% of all blogs are read by anyone other than the author. there are lots of people out there with lots to say, so i’m grateful when anybody reads mine, flattered when they...

Do what you can. Only you really know where your limit is today. You are setting an example of what a warrior is. Keep it going cuz and you might be able to kick my butt one of these days.
will, you have friends all over the world because you are just one of those real nice guys that once you meet, you just can’t let out of your life. The fact that you are so articulate adds to our enjoyment as you are able to so accurately put into words so many things that most of us can’t or don’t know how. You are an inspiration and your friendship is as they say in the commercial is-”priceless.’ Keep writing the blog as I anxiously await the next installment.
Regarding your first paragraph – I’ve read every one of these entries [Is that what you're supposed to call them?] -and i’ll take just a smidgin of credit for your literary gifts … Who read to you when you were three years old? … the same book over and over?
I read em all, too. Hang in there, Will and Carol!
I’m not sure who jimmy allison is but i agree whole-heartedly with your comment and wish i had said it first LOL 
Hey cuz,
I”ve been reading all your blog posts. You are a good writer and photogragher. Continuing to pray for your recovery.

Will – I’m ‘on the bus’. I too believe. Keep it up. And yes, I read all of your blog posts.
Was great to see you last week and your speech was amazing, heart felt and extremely to the point. I have used your moto reference of focusing on the landing over the size of the gap more times that you can imagine just in the past week.
Thanx for being awesome and for continuing to push. I only hope in the near future you can come on down and I can try and chase your dust!
Woody!
Will, I read everything you and Carol write. And, each time, I am able to see our world a little differently. You are a warrior and I am so proud of you both. War on. We will fight with you. MotoMonkey
it was great to meet you and carol at bonita. keep up the hard work – you’re doing fantastic. i read your blogs, keep them coming!
you an carol are some of my very best friends and words can not express the gratitude I have, for all the things you’ve done and been in my life. I read every word that comes my way and thank yourself and carol for keeping me informed .. I post everything on my facebook front page too, for all to see!
I so look forward to seeing you both again and loved getting some time with you this past weekend!! ** Friends forever – apart or together !!! **

I read each blog and pass it along to the whole art department! And Will, who new that the dude that used to come in here and say “Hey Sever Four…” would be writing a blog that I find both inspiring and entertaining! Thanks Will for all you do for us!! Wish i could have been at that race to see you speak, but I look fwd to reading it:) And keep on keepin’ on!
will, i’m so glad I met you all those years ago. thx for letting me be along for the ride in your journey. you are the most inspiring person i’ve ever met.
My Brother, You know that you are part of our daily thoughts, prayers, and conversations. Thanks for keeping the blog posts flowing. We want info but we don’t want to bother so thanks again.
I am glad you made it to the race Will. I am sure that was heartening for those there that are supporting you. We entered but did not go, and our thoughts were with you. Keep standing strong.
I love you.
Will, I always look forward to reading your blogs – they not only give us an update on your progress, but also give us inspiration in our daily lives, Thank you. Looking forward to all that follow. God bless you and Carol always!
I have read them all and am grateful that Carol has added me to the email list so I can get these messages. I read your speech at Bonita, wish I could have been there for it. I would have liked to see you standing out there, AWESOME! You are an inspiration Will,keep up the fight.
I’m SO proud of you Will!!! You’re doing great! And your attitude is remarkable. Love you dearly, my friend!!!
As always, your blog was a very interesting read. Keep up the writing. I was surprised by your phone call the other day. I haven’t heard from your friend but if she calls, maybe I can help her out somehow. That really shows something for your character when you could focus entirely on your own problems but you take the time to try to help out someone else.
Your words have more impact than you give yourself credit for. I think we can safely say that your blog is read by more people than you can imagine. “The rim of the glass” piece was a testimony to your determination and your hard work towards your recovery.
You take care of the hard work and everything else will fall into place as you go along. No rush. Your friends will still be here cheering you on from the sidelines. We can’t help you to reach that finish line, that you have to do for yourself, but you have a very large fan club to help clear the path ahead.
Will, when starting RiderDown.org I truly had no idea what was to come or what it would bring. Well…let me say that one of the greatest rewards has been the relationships which have been forged. Your friendship is one that will endure long after these trials and tribulations are just a memory! Thank you my friend.
