Comin' off the line
Here's another drag racing time waster.
It's a nice collection of starting line hole shots by quite a few vehicles.
Sit back, relax and enjoy.
Christmas gift ideas
Got a weird uncle or some crazy relative? Stuck on an idea for a great gift for him/her?
Check out BaronBob.com for lots and lotsa goofy stuff for that goofy person.
There may still be time.
Or how about a little Zymurgy in your life? Get yourself or your favorite relative a new pastime. Let him brew his own beer.
Mr. Beer has quite a few starter kits complete with ingredients to help get the new brewmaster going.
By February you could be invited over to taste the new concoctions. Fun and hilarity will ensue.
Kick-ass RV
This is unbelievable. A super luxury RV with all the trappings of the Waldorf Astoria. It'll even stow your Mercedes in its underpinnings.
If you had enough money to buy one of these, where would you go with it? How many new friends do you think you'll gain?
Seems to me, it's like showing your bank account or wallet on 4 wheels. Blatant overkill.
RV pictorial is here.
Remembering the Commodore 64
Some of the Silicon Valley guys got together to reminisce about the early days of home computing and the C64. Those were the days when the Apple II and the C64 were prime competitors.
I recall those days as well, running a Bulletin Board Service called Atom's Apple BBS from my bedroom on an Apple II. I had to mod the speaker so the modem ring wouldn't wake me up in the middle of the night.
Back in Silicon Valley, Steve Wozniak and friends talked about those good ol' days written up in a short article here.
