Another Nathan find:

I’m a Chevrolet Corvette! You’re a classic – powerful, athletic, and competitive. You’re all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do. Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

I’ve been uploading photos via Text-America for a few years now… but as of late, it seems that Text-America has been having some major problems. So I finally decided to move my moblog directly here. After doing some research I found that using Flickr was pretty straight-forward in integrating photos directly into WordPress. Yay! 😀

Group challenges science on ‘biblically correct’ tours

Today, Alec returned his cable box to Charter… and they had this huge blockbuster like drop box for it… the best part is how it made this THUMP of a noise at it hit the bottom… clearly, this is not good for the equipment – but funny none-the-less. 😀

Alec sent me this… Evidentally, this is NOT a joke… The American Cornhole Association was established by a small group of dedicated Cornholers from the west side of Cincinnati, Ohio. It has grown over the years and, to the best of our knowledge, now represents the largest organized Cornhole / Corn Toss association in the […]

Ok, I’ve decided to finally split up my blogs into two… there will be different content here than at my other blog at: http://www.richardyoo.com/blog So add the other one to your feed reader as well. 🙂

For some reason, this is mildly amusing… perhaps its the laugh-track…

Based on the 24hrs I’ve had it, I have to admit, the Motorola Q is a pretty sweet phone. Its small, its light, it looks cool, it sounds great, and its full featured. But it isn’t perfect… like how it doesn’t have a DUN profile for bluetooth. But wait! Someone figured out a hack: I […]

I had never really been too concerned with cellular coverage in most areas. Most of the time my mobile phone works, and when it doesn’t, I just walk around a bit. This usually works fine – except that the new place I moved into is some sort of cell phone void zone. I found this […]

Tired of everyone talking about their Macs? “If I were Apple, I’d be worried about this. Two lifelong Mac fans are switching away from Macs to PCs running Ubuntu Linux”…. Canaries in the Mac OS X and Red Hat Coal Mines? And the guys at Best Week Ever are privy to this too! 😀

I wonder how many more lessons Chris B needs before he can ride one of these 🙂

Le Reve is my favorite restaurant… its one of the things I miss about San Antonio. I make a point to visit it or its sister, Sandbar, whenever I’m there as well. Le Rêve is a spectacular case in point. Who in his right mind would expect to find a fairly formal French restaurant — […]

Last night I managed to make it down to Buddha Lounge for this month’s Refresh Houston meeting… What’s that? Refresh Houston is a community of designers and developers working to refresh the creative, technical and professional culture of new media and Web endeavors in the Houston area.

So much for the skeptics. 😉 The nation’s top climate scientists are giving “An Inconvenient Truth,” Al Gore’s documentary on global warming, five stars for accuracy. Scientists OK Gore’s movie for accuracy

All of a sudden a huge batch of global warming related articles popped up…. The Earth is running a slight fever from greenhouse gases, after enjoying relatively stable temperatures for 2,000 years.

Sometimes, you need stories like this to put things into perspective 🙂 The owner of a Los Angeles car dealership is suing Mercedes-Benz, its parent company DaimlerChrysler and other affiliates, alleging that a $1.7 million car purchased in 2004 wouldn’t run for more than 10 blocks without problems. World’s most expensive lemon?

What is a Halo car? Solstice is, in auto-industry speak, a “halo car.” It’s one of those rare models that can draw a halo around a brand, bringing into showrooms potential buyers who, ultimately, may drive off in a totally different vehicle from the same nameplate. Halo cars are hot and sexy. They generate buzz […]

Are the home-price corrections coming? If you haven’t bought a house yet, some good deals might be coming… In 2003, Anita Britten refinanced her two-story brick cottage in Lithonia, Ga. using a hybrid adjustable rate mortgage, or ARM. Her lender reassured her that she could refinance out of the riskier loan into a traditional one […]
