What Is D. Brent Miller (dbrent.com)?
Updated
dbrent.com is the personal journal of D. Brent Miller — a blog-style site where the author posts short, dated entries about his everyday life, mostly motorcycling and fishing. It is not a commercial site, product page, or news outlet. If you're looking for personal essays and ride/fishing notes written in a casual, first-person voice, this is what you'll find; if you need reference material, reviews, or structured guides, it isn't that kind of site.
What kind of site it is
The site identifies itself simply as "A Personal Journal." Content is organized as a running feed of posts in reverse-chronological order, the standard blog format: newest entries first, older ones behind pagination.
There are no pricing signals, no product listings, and no payment links — nothing on the page suggests anything is for sale.
What the posts are about
The visible entries cluster around two hobbies:
- Motorcycling. Rides through rural Ohio, often deliberately indirect. One September 2026 post describes a loop to Waynesville with "zigging and zagging" on country roads, and a stop to watch gliders launch at the Caesar Creek Soaring Club. Another covers a ride to Blanchester, OH on a 90-degree day.
- Fishing. An August 2026 entry recounts an hour of fly fishing with the Buckeye Veterans Fly Fishing group before a storm — roughly 12–15 blue gills landed, one large bass lost, and a soaking walk back to the cars as the rain arrived.
The through-line the author states himself is a sense of "unbound freedom" shared by flying and motorcycling. Posts typically close with a sign-off like "See you on the highway" or "See you on the water."
How much content is there
The archive is substantial. Pagination at the bottom of the feed shows Page 1, Page 2, and a jump to Page 149, with a "Next page" link — so the journal spans well over a hundred pages of entries.

How to read it
Start at the homepage for the most recent posts, then use the pagination links at the bottom to move backward through the archive. Because entries are short and self-contained, browsing by date works better than searching for a specific topic.
