Safety first.

This broke while coming out of the sweeper at ESN. Thanks to NSP for letting me borrow a wheel off their show car. And to Chad for letting me use his extra Momo wheel until I can get a new one.
Note to self: Stop buying cheap shit!

UnF-ck The Gulf

BP’s oil spill has really f–ked up the gulf. Birds, fish, dolphins & sea turtles are f–ked. Whole communities are f–ked. Together we can hold big oil accountable. Together we can unf–k the Gulf.

Ken Block’s Gymkhana THREE drops tomorrow

Ken Block’s Gymkhana THREE drops tomorrow. There doesn’t seem to be as much hype around this one. Not sure if thats a good thing or not. I hope he has better luck with the video than he did in WRC Rally Germany this past weekend. …

Cody Wellons’ S13 For Sale in Atlanta

Cody is looking to sell or trade his S13 hatch and move on to a new project. I’d really like to trade for a 1J/2J swapped SC300 with a manual transmission, although I may be interested in other RWD cars as well (350Z, GS300, etc).

You can never have enough real estate.

Posted 16 Apr 2009 in Misc

Screen real estate that is.
Its been documented that I have a decent amount of computers and/or monitors, but believe it or not my setup still didn’t suite my needs. For the design work I do, I need as much desktop real estate I can get. It makes it much easier and even more productive to get things done. So when one of my favorite electronic retainers, Tiger Direct, had a sale on 25″ I-INC Monitors for only $200, I had no choice but to snag one.

But lets be honest, a 25″ monitor that only cost $200 is obviously not going to be of very good quality which I get into a little more later on in this post.

    I’ve been thinking about getting a better setup for my media. You, sir, have a really nice setup. I’m still using a macbook pro. That’s all I’ve got, but I make it work. :D

    Any qualms with it so far? That’s a deal if I ever saw one. 22″ widescreens are still like 220.00-260 range that I’ve found.

    So far so good. Although, when looking at a completely black image on the screen I can see shades of blue and green on the edges. It may be the Mini-DVI adapter Im using that is causing it. I opted for the cheap $15 one rather than the $25 Apple one. But, during normal viewing I can’t tell the difference.

    All in all, I like it. Definitely worth the money as long as you dont expect a high level of color accuracy.
