"The Mazda MX5 Miata has been the world’s top-selling entry-level two-seat roadster for 16 years now since it’s debut in 1989. The MX5 was the brainchild of Bob Hall, who is now working at Proton in product development ( Read more... )

Hey, I am alive. Haven't had a whole lot worth posting about of late, nor much patience for sitting down and typing shit out. Work continues to be dull and annoying, coworkers continue to be stupid and annoying, and so forth. But enough about that. Hit up the NIN show at Greatwoods with Jim this past Friday, which was certainly interesting. They ( Read more... )

Nonconsecutive days off, particularly on a night shift job, suck balls. Don't seem to have time to get much of anything done. Hell, I had to filter Scans-Daily before I could bring myself to catch up on LJ. So instead of substance, you get that Wiki birthday meme thing. But extended, because I couldn't just pick X. My birthday kinda rocks, ( Read more... )

Bob Ross' Joy of Painting: The Video GameThe timing of the news actually 'breaking' on April 1st is a bit suspect, but if the developer's site is to be believed this was announced well back in March, so who knows? If it is a prank, it's a pretty damn well coordinated one to get the official Bob Ross website involved. And even if it is, it's still ( Read more... )

Hot on the heels of yesterday's press conference, where Nintendo officially showed off the DS Lite to the media and revealed their ever-so-awesome upcoming web browser (PORNTENDO), comes a damn nice gallery of a (non-working photo model) DS Lite. Along with a lot of commentary in Japanese, which is less helpfull. But the pictures speak for ( Read more... )

Yesterday brought us yet more pics of the DS Lite, along with the initial three Japanese colors; Crystal White, Ice Blue, and Enamel Navy. No sign of the popularly photoshopped Onyx or the standard silver variation, however, which is another point in favor of waiting for the US release details. Although the Navy version is kinda pretty... The new ( Read more... )

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/02/08/its-alive-nintendo-ds-in-the-flesh/More pics of the new DS Lite redesign. I have to admit, I'm diggin' it. Which is kind of a bad thing. Y'see, I still haven't gotten around to getting a DS, and the number of games I want on it is mounting, so I'm really jonesing for one. But while the Lite is coming out in less ( Read more... )

Finally found an Alternators Skids this weekend, and finally had time to actually open it this morning. I have to admit, this wasn't one that I was too excited about when it was first announced, if just because the xB is such a doofy car. And the early promo pics were less than flattering. But now that I have him in-hand, he's damned impressive. ( Read more... )

It only took about a month, but I've finally got my PC back up to speed. And then some. Doubled the RAM, put in a nice new 250GB SATA hard drive (once I remembered to install the RAID drivers) with a 2000MB page file allowance... After running on the one old HD with just barely more than the minimum page file allowance for the last few weeks, the ( Read more... )

So everyone have a nice New Year? Hope you all had fun at your respective shindigs. I had a blast walking through a snowstorm and dozing through the 12 Oz. Mouse marathon while at work. Oh, and catching about five minutes of Dick Clark (Dear GOD, he got old fast. It's like all those years that he looked about forty-ish ganged up and smacked him ( Read more... )
