Back to work!


-So Apple is getting sued since.. well.. let's just say they have a LOT of money. I love this one: one alleging the company created an illegal monopoly by tying iTunes music and video sales to its market-leading iPod portable players.
So don't friggin buy an iPod. Dumb asses like that should be out buying a Zune anyway. That way they can only play songs from Microsoft. If they want to sue somebody, sue Microsoft for telling them to buy napster songs and then not supporting their on the .mpturd
-I watched a lot of the Barrett-Jackson auctions last night. Muscle cars=big dollars. One hemi cuda went for $2 million. The coolest by far was the GM Futureliner. The guy was hoping for $600,000. He wound up getting $4,000,000. HOLY COW. That thing is so cool thought.
I see that a Foose Eleanor 'stang that belongs to Paul Jr. (a.k.a Paulie) will be up for sale. I am going to try to pick that one up. Yea right.

-So lemme ask you this: If our other house is totally dark all the time, has the hot water heater shut off, and the thermostat is set to 50 degrees (keep in mind it has been about 50 outside most of the time) then why in the HELL do we have a $90 electric and gas bill? I am not sure what it normally was over there, but I would think about double that. But that was with the heat on, three or four computers on all the time, at least 2 TV's on all the time, hot water for all the clothes and showers and stuff, and running the stove. Not to mention all the lights that were on all over that house all the time. Seems like it should have gone down a lot more then 1/2 when we left.

Yup, the Futureliner is incredible. (Dualies on the front?! Wow!) But $4M? Holy cripes.

I just can't get behind anything that Foose does. Something about his style rubs me the wrong way, like it's too jocky or something.

Does your electrical/gas bill average or estimate your bills? That might splain it.

It's probably the minimun charges and taxes that nail you....
