Weekend

Redline from Ambrosia is a pretty decent driving game for your Mac. Here is the demo / download page



Sunday Sunday Sunday! we went to the Iowa Speedway to see the ARCA race. "Ranger" Rick and his cousin Steve met us there. It was raining and cold when we got up but the rain stopped and it was just cold and a bit windy after that. The new track is really nice. People were driving in lots of different lines and they all had great things to say about it.
Rusty Wallace helped design the track and is part owner. His son Stephen drove his car in the race today and won the race in dad's car at dad's track. Sweet. Here is a panarama I slapped together of our seats.

FRIDAY!

*woot*
Here is the perfect gift for the finger drummer in your family. Kinda fun I guess.
But if you need one of these french fry holders for your car then probably eat too DAMN MANY FRIES.

Tech Blog had this video of ferrofluid. It is beautiful and fun to watch but I really don't understand it. Much like Jessica Simpson.




Did you know that some people will pay $13 a can to freeze dog poop. Make sure to read the reviews at the bottom.

Well. It is nice to see that Americans are not the only ones to over-compensate in fighting discrimination. Brit's can do it just as well.

fair:

Here is what would be fair. Line up every autistic kid in america and let them throw a baseball at this guy's head. Hell. He isn't using it for anything anyway.

Pick up your very own flying car here

A clip from 1981 with Steve Jobs and others. Kind of fun to watch.

Xogen clip. Kind of drawn out, but interesting. Turn water into fuel. I can see the headlines: New company turns water into unlimited fuel. In other news the U.S. recalls all its troups around the world and tells the world to kiss its ass and go ahead and blow themselves up because we never really gave a shit about them.

MORAN AWARD

Since Muslims around the world have nothing else to worry about, these MORANS decide that they should worry about Apple's 5th ave. store. LINK
EDIT: My profile indicates that the picture you see here is NOT me. Apparently that may or may not be true. I am reading now that the above story is either a hoax, or more likely a manufactured story to generate hatred toward muslims. I read the following on one blog:
The reason for Memri's air of secrecy becomes clearer when we look at the people behind it. The co-founder and president ofMemri, and the registered owner of its website, is an Israeli called Yigal Carmon.
Mr. -- or rather, Colonel -- Carmon spent 22 years in Israeli military intelligence and later served as counter-terrorism adviser to two Israeli prime ministers, Yitzhak Shamir and Yitzhak Rabin.
Retrieving another now-deleted page from the archives of Memri's website also throws up a list of its staff. Of the six people named, three -- including Col. Carmon -- are described as having worked for Israeli intelligence.
Among the other three, one served in the Israeli army's Northern Command Ordnance Corps, one has an academic background, and the sixth is a former stand-up comedian.

That same blog says .....Aside from the lack of any cites or references (just an anonymous "an Islamic website....." The irony is that the above quote has a link to its source that does not go anywhere. At least not on my browser.
I am through with this story. If you are interested in it, go read some more.

Quisp and stuff

HOLY COW QUISP IS ALIVE!!! HE'S ALIVE I SAY!! Okay, I am dating myself here, but I used to love Quisp. The cereal was great, the toy inside that shot the little hook was cool and besides Quisp could kick Quakes ass any day of the week.

HERE is a chance to pick up Gene Simmon's Axe.

Gravely ill woman kills son, is freed, kills husband I can't even think of what to add to that one.

This guy Gustov is not a bad little guitar player. He has a lot of videos on Goo.. ..er .. um.. You Tube. I liked THIS one because he is playing a mini guitar.

OUCH..... A WOMAN has suffered severe burning to her anus after being struck by lightning which hit her in the mouth and passed right through her body.

how long did this take to set up?

Pretty impressive though. I guess.

new toys and stuff.

These look like a lot of fun. Really amazing how small they are. Fairly cheap too. Well... sort.


Oh, yea. Mary was reading some of the papers we got with the new house. One of them told of all the appliances that are in the house. Including a "free standing Steve".

Here is a website with a bunch of workshop tours. Kind of fun to look at other people's shops. Some are amazing because the are so messy. Some because they are so small. Other's are just amazing. I chatted with Terry Hatfield via e-mail when I was looking for a saw. Very nice guy. He had nothing but good things to say about the Griz' saw, and I was sold on it until I found a new Unisaw for the same money. His work bench is too nice to be in a shop.
