The Official Creebobby Comics Archetype Times Table.

My favorites are Ninja Lincoln and Monster Platypus.

Facebook friend fail!

Windows 7 upgrade fail.   Just look at the chart!

No plugins needed, just HTML5 and JS.   I would love to see this as a visualization.

Hmm, based on this thread at Bike Forums, I’ll need the following products to sufficiently deter bike theft:

• Kryptonite KryptoFlex cable
• Kryptonite Evolution Mini u-lock
• A big-arse Mul-t-lock padlock (only from Mul-t-lock)

Weave the cable through your wheels, through the frame and around the object to which you’re securing.  Lock both ends of the cable in the padlock.  The u-lock is then locked around the frame and that same secure object (bike post, et cetera).   A double system like this will deter most theives.

• Blown suspension (front driver shock if not more)
• Drivetrain mounts (motor, diff mounts)
• AC at idle (ISC)
• Steering drifts to left
• Shifting slightly difficult randomly (broken bushing?)
• windows slow to roll up/down
• Front bumper mispainted
• Front bumper dented due to license plate frame
• Air vents sag
• Glovebox rattles
• Leather seats torn
• Tires worn and mismatched
• Clutch needs bleeding
• Brakes could use bleeding

• [YouTube] LSx (well, LQ4) powered WRX.   From the maker of the Civette.
• [The Car Lounge] Oops, official pics of the new 360/430 evolution released early:  the Ferrari 458 Italia.

• [Failblog] Creepy bear is creepy.
• [Autoblog] One off “Dearborn Doll” Mustang has one worthy styling element: The rear wing.  I’m a big fan of the color contrast to the body (orange) and even the internal contrast (black stripe).
• [Flowing Data] Venn diagram explains perfect business.
• [Boy Genius Report] “It’s that we took 10 leaps forward with the Hero but took 12 back. With every brilliant addition HTC made, the device suffered a little bit in terms of performance.” – Another fairly damning review of the Hero.

After using WordPress to create a campaign website and then a campaign blog, I’m a total convert.   Sorry, Blogger, but I’m moving everything immediately.

Spurred by the addition of a lovely Blu-ray player from my lovely girlfriend, I decided to finally clean up the rats nest behind my entertainment center:

Using about 40 velcro cable ties, I was able to reduce the 37-wire rat nest into this simple arrangement:

I’d be able to get rid of 14 of those wires if I went to HDMI. I can’t afford a new receiver just yet.
