I've seen all of Top gear... and to be quite frank... I never noticed the tags... lol

You'd be surprised at how much dedication and patience will get you, not sure which of the two is harder though. Keep it up.

@Dimman, Phantasy Star 2. Yes. Very Yes. Way too many hours spent with that and three friends running around. It's a helluva shame that PSO2 hasn't come stateside yet, considering it's going to be F2P. I just got tired of constantly having very little idea what was going on as I don't read japanese all too well (kanji or otherwise).

Also, it's been a while. Good to see you guys are well.

Also...front-end software engineering positions at google look interesting.....too bad I'm halfway into getting a house purchased. Only jobs are west coast or NY it seems. Practically what I'm doing now, just with the opportunity to see some pretty cool stuff.

You would ask for a picture when there's basically no way to google it specifically enough. Though I found a very brief, random thread somewhere else that said poorly funded BBC/easier to return the clothes after filming. Though that doesn't make sense since they seem to waste all sorts of money on everything they do all the time.

I guess I just pay attention to the wrong things when I watch. XD

I painted the Michelin's on my tires white and it looks awesome. But that shit comes right off after driving a little. I experimented with two types of acrylic paint and with plastidip and the paint worked best. I ordered a tire pen but I don't have high hopes. Is there a way to do it properly?

Whitewalls on the Mini?

Edit: I can't read... Yes I think the tire pen is the way to go.

Calling 911 because your cable went out?

You're gonna have a bad time.

Incredible stupidity....

Spent the last hour changing over from my work laptop to using a MS Surface with a Targus Dual Display docking station. Going to try to live with it as my only work computer.

So far...so good. I've got three monitors (2 23" monitors and the Surface touch screen) plus all the connectivity. The Windows Index rating (5.6) is actually higher than the Dell E5530 (I5 processor) I was using.

Docking station plugs into the USB 3.0 port.

Should be interesting....

I also noticed that at season 18, episode 6 at the last segment where they drove their track cars to work on a cold, raining day where they need to buy winter clothing. When they walked out the small shop, they did not tear off the tags. Here is the picture.

Apparently, under-funded program is probably not a problem.

I wish I understood Korean. I came out of a Korean restaurant and there were some Korean guys huddled around my car talking and I couldn't tell if it was good or bad LOL
