More Decisions...

Any suggestions? This one is going to be sooner. Factors considered: mpg, hp/wt, can it fit everyone(2 adults, 2 carseats(arghhh), 2 dogs...I know that some of the cars can't), is it the hotness(for one reason or the other)?, price (trying to keep it sub 30k)
Very Green, 50-ish mpg, small (but roomy for size), will fit all 4 and a poog (probably not a bullmastiff)
Honda Ridgeline, nice and big, we already have a pick up and a Landcruiser, 16/21 mpg
2008 Subaru WRX, new hatchback, 224 hp (but less weight), not the STi
Honda Element SC, 28 mpg, 4 seats (not 5), roomy, only 2wd

Mazdaspeed 3, 263hp, Fwd, premium unleaded, freakin fast sleeper

Now in Windows flavor


Safari 3 Public Beta
Safari, Apple's Browser, is now available in our windows world. It's pretty sweet looking and should work with most of what you search on the interweb. I think this was a concession to make the iPhone look more universal. Now I'm one step closer to a Mac.

I must add

Word to the Barn party of the Year!

Solar Electrical Vehicles


Solar Electrical Vehicles
These guys have designed a photo voltaic panel that fits perfectly with the roof line of the Toyota Prius. It allows the Prius to operate in electric mode up to 20 miles per day adding up to 29% in fuel economy.
The system costs $2000-$4000 and the payback time is said to be 2-3 years...To date, the company has manufactured nearly 100 of the kits to individual buyers. “Four dollars is the break-even point for these kits,” Johanson said. “Then it pays for itself in two years..."

Oh, and they're working on a Highlander application.

Why we just need to live in our basements

US quarantines air passenger with rare TB strain
This idiot ignored doctor's advice and traveled to Europe and back potentially (most likely) infecting other passengers with a particularly drug resistant form of TB.
"An international operation began last night to track down dozens of transatlantic passengers who this month flew with a man now quarantined with a dangerous form of tuberculosis."
Nice one jackass.

I need these and for the price of $15, I will have them. Who the hell knows knows the temperature for med. rare? You won't need too anymore.

Visuals


barbarian software | magnetosphere
I just added this visualizer to iTunes. I don't use visualizers much, But this is Sic! LT approved.
Can I make Magnetosphere more/less responsive to the music?
Yes. Use the + and - keys.
I want more/fewer particles (blobs) in my visualizer. Can I do this?
Yes. Use the A and S keys. They add or subtract a hundred particles at a time - tap once or twice and wait for the results. If it starts acting poorly because you hit a bunch of keys, just quit and restart.

Update: Also try hitting the M button for different effects...sic.

STi Bitches...



I'm going to have to add this to the list. I usually don't like the huge spoiler, but I feel like it really works with the hatchback. What do you think? The new Lancer is also looking very sic. Like a baby Skyline... or something.

Getting High: not so bad

Ceiling height can affect how a person thinks, feels and acts
Now we can never move out of our house. Where are we going to be able to afford ceiling like this again?
"When a person is in a space with a 10-foot ceiling, they will tend to think more freely, more abstractly,” said Meyers-Levy. “They might process more abstract connections between objects in a room, whereas a person in a room with an 8-foot ceiling will be more likely to focus on specifics."
