-HERE is the coolest lawnmower you are going to see today.

I guess that is about it.

well that confirms it..

I am truly an idiot. I have been working on making the last set of rails for a few days. That is a lot of work and it is tricky to get 20 spindles, which are jammed into holes on the bottom set of rails at a 35 degree angle, to go into the 20 holes in the top set of rails. I got it all done last night. I came home from work and lugged the thing outside. When I hung it up on the deck, I realized that it was 3.5 inches too short. CRAP. I had marked on the back side of the 4x4 post it attaches to and forgot about it. When I took the wood to the basement I used that mark instead of the correct one.
I made it all the way through this project and did not screw up any cuts. It is only $10 worth of wood (I know because I went to Menard's to replace them already) but it is a lot of work to replace them. Damn I make myself mad sometimes.

-I don't know if you have seen the guy's website that is tying to find the girl he saw on a train, but it was kind of cute. Well, the good news is he found her and the better news is that he is just thanked everyone and said he will not post anymore about it.

-Here is an article telling you why it is actually cheaper to own a Mac then a PC. The usual argument is that PCs are cheaper up front but by the time you buy Norton to try to keep it running and buy apps' to do the things that come shipped in osX (but not as well) you spend more. Here is a different spin: He compares the resale value of the 2 platforms and if you use each for a year or 2 and sell them, you come out way ahead with the Mac even before you buy the software. And as an added bonus you don't have to piss with Norton and get a much better OS. Or as COMPUTERWORLD put it: Leopard spanks Vista, continues OS X's reign of excellence

-Google: coming to a gas pump near you.

Tuesday.

I had the day off and thought I would get done with the deck for the season. As per usual, things took longer then they should have, and I did not. I am getting close though and really want to move on to something else.
-Here is a map you can click on and it will tell you what music is popular in that area.

-HERE is a map that shows percentage of fat people as a function of time. Wonder if you can cross reference to two and find out what kind of music fat people like?

Monday

Dont Juggle Bowling Balls - Watch more free videos

I saw a link to Rosie's blog and just had to check out what she had to say. There was this poem on there.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? How lame can it be? And just because she is fat and stupid does not mean she can't spell out the words. Or did she do this on her cel-phone? Oh, she is just so "hip" that she can talk a 14 year old. Gawd. Sorry I made you read that. NOTE TO ROSIE: U R LAMERZ.

Well this is funny. The Social has been canceled. Microsoft canned the ad agency that came out with those STUPID AS HELL ads for the Zune and dropped the whole "welcome to the social" tag line. Now it is "Make it you" In other words, it is hard to have a social when you are the only one. And in case you have not heard, the one Zune fanboy on earth that got a zune logo on his arm, and then later 2 others, now legally changed his name to "Microsoft Zune"

Saturday.

1986 Nissan 300ZX Turbo --Custom Show Car

HERE is the best costume I saw on the internet this year.

HERE is the worst product name I saw all day. If you are going to make something that is an iPod clock why would you name it the iH8 iPod alarm. I HATE iPod Alarm? Sheez. Not as bad as the i.beat Blaxx that I posted before. But again. Say the name out loud before you release the product.

-HERE is the Fugly car of the day. WTF are they thinking?

Friday

Gotta work this weekend. So here is a quick one. The mustang in the photo was done by some dumb ass. That is one thing. But the one in the link was at the SEMA show and was made by a team of (very stupid) professionals. Sheez.
LINK TO UGLIEST MUSTANG EVER

day off

Got a lot done. I got the rest of the carsiding on the middle deck. There is a hole in it where the Bentley the dog can go under. His old house is under there now, but eventually I will build a new one under there.
-Here is an interesting article. This guy takes cars and trucks and converts them to bio-diesel. He gets some pretty amazing mileage and screaming horsepower. It is a long read, but I found it interesting. He has some good ideas about how to get away from gasoline. Much better then the KNOT-HEADS in charge that are leading us down the path of Ethanol.
