Microsoft's "Origami"

Permalink: 2/27/2006 04:24:00 PM

Watch this video and ask yourself why can't you just do this with:
a) Wi-Fi
b) a Laptop/Tablet
c) Optional, a GPS Card and Bluetooth

Or better yet, add a Palm Pilot/Pocket PC into the mix!

R32 Snow Drifting. (again)

Permalink: 2/25/2006 11:48:00 PM

Took the car out again, this time with less on the ground. Much better results.

Why DO "Corn Pops" come in that Foil bag?

Permalink: 2/23/2006 08:48:00 PM

Wikipedia has the answer!

The cereal is also known for going stale much faster than other cereals and is packaged in a different bag than normal cereals to keep it from doing so.

Great to know. I also now know that they've changed the name to just "POPS" as of January 2006... thanks to the Colbert Report. Stupid.

I loved that car... it was my first. Sold today to its new owner.

Onward with the .:R.

R32 in the Snow.

I snuck over to the shipyard after Sunday's blizzard and made this quick vid. All wheel drive in about 8-inches of powder... *drool* -- Next time I'll be more extreme.

Now that we've somewhat gotten it together, we're looking to gain listeners so we're not doing this for nothing, haha. digg?

Emoticons -> Iron Dots?

Damn, that's a good idea. I remember those things from arts and crafts, like with the wax paper and everything. Hilarious.

Rules of the Road.

Permalink: 2/11/2006 11:05:00 PM

"In most early motor vehicles the driving seat was in the middle. Later some carmakers chose to have it nearest the centre of the road to help drivers look out for oncoming traffic, whilst others chose to put the seat on the other side so that the drivers could avoid damaging their vehicles on walls, hedges, roadside gutters and other obstacles. Eventually the former idea prevailed." -- Wikipedia

Anyone who's wondered what you do when the side of driving changes, watch for signs. :)

Thanks to Corey 'toronadonut' of Albany for sending me this beautiful scan of a recent blurb involving ringtones.

I [used to] spend too much money.

Permalink: 2/11/2006 03:08:00 AM

Over the next few months I must learn the value of a dollar and stop blowing money on stupid car/tech/whatever sh**. I need to get it together. Food and shelter. (I have clothes, already, thank god.)

Welp, guess that's that.

I'm glad we've finally realized that time-travel is impossible. I think the only "time-related" travel is "time-less" travel by exceeding the speed of light? Anyone? That or Einstein's theory of time acceleration under the same circumstances... crazy.

PayPass?

Permalink: 2/09/2006 04:49:00 PM

Last week sometime, my bank froze my debit card because someone somehow got the number and charged $1.27 to it. Thanks, ya' jerk!

So this week they sent me a new one, and it happened to have this new "PayPass" feature that works nowhere provided by Mastercard. I'm happy to say that in the future this will save time, especially when buying gas, but hurry the hell up! Right now this is wasting my time by adding a slight amount of weight and size to my wallet, this making my walking less aerodynamic and causing massive slowdowns over time.

Safari Tip (for Mac Users)

Permalink: 2/08/2006 10:08:00 PM

I just found this out. If you hold down Alt/Option when pressing enter for a URL, it'll download the file/page instead of going to it! Neat... we've needed something like this for a while.

EDIT: Ryan says that it also works in Camino and Firefox. Word up.
