“Firefox 0.9.1″:http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ is out. Go download it.. IE sucks, use something else.
Firefox is faster and a whole lot less buggy. Not to mention, you won’t be infested with spyware as easily. Hell, even CERT recommends using something other than IE because IE is so insecure.

This is one badass motherfucking car. It’s a 1995 Mustang with a 385ci motor and a big honkin turbo. “Here’s a video (jesus CHRIST!)”:http://inductionweb.com/up2.mpg that you can check out. I’d love to know how much boost dude is running, because if you watch the dyno pull, you’ll see it’s putting out 1124hp. That’s a shit-ton of HP. Also, check out the actual “website”:http://www.inductionmotorsports.com since they have some other cool stuff on there. They even have some neat info on turbos there, plus they actually sell turbos, wastegates, etc. Oh, and the car is 100% street-legal. I just can’t fathom a car being completely street legal and then going to the track and running an 8.24. That’s just nuts. I want one!
Update… I fixed the transparency problem with some javascript. I found it on “this site (neat stuff)”:http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/pnghowto.htm however, it still aligns improperly on the right-hand side, but oh well. That’ll teach you fuckers to use IE. Anyway, it’s completely pointless but I found it interesting, so I added it.. sue me.
More to come at a later date & time.
Pretty neat… I just got this weather applet working on my blog.. You can see it over there to your right. It shows the current weather here in Knoxville, TN. Here’s the catch, though. If you’re using Internet Explorer, it doesn’t display properly. The icon for the weather has a black background instead of a transparent one like it’s supposed to. See, if you used Mozilla or Opera, then it would display properly and you’d see it the way it’s supposed to be seen. Yet another reason why I hate IE… Not only does it have 80 billion security holes with new ones being found each day, it doesn’t support transparent png’s! Basically, Microsuck doesn’t care because they know they hold 95% of the browser market so why make their browser any better? Do yourselves a favor, people… Go download one of these two wonderful browsers, ok? You’ll thank me later!
“Mozilla Firefox (Firefox owns ass!)”:http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/
“Opera (I like Opera lots too)”:http://www.opera.com
Anyway, I found the weather plugin at “This Guy’s Blog”:http://www.sonicpling.net/ thanks to a forum post he made on the wordpress hacks forum.
Oh, and I just found a link to this car that literally gave me a fucking hard-on… JESUS CHRIST this car is gorgeous. Wow wow wow.. Ok, lemme pick myself up off the floor here…
“AC Schnitzer BMW ACS6 (Good god almighty what a car)”:http://www.seriouswheels.com/top-2004-AC-Schnitzer-BMW-ACS6.htm
So yeah, I really dig the new version of wordpress. They’ve updated the posting page a bit and added some nice new features. Not to mention adding features is done through plugins now instead of editing this stupid *myhacks.php* file. Plus I like the idea that I can change the way my entire blog looks just by changing one single css file. There’s some plugins out there that add photo gallery functionality to wordpress so I might just check them out pretty soon. “Here’s the link to wordpress’s homepage (Wordpress)”:http://www.wordpress.org in case you’re curious to check it out for whatever reason. Some of my friends are using “xanga”:http://www.xanga.com which looks pretty nice for those of you that don’t have the server or the knowhow to use php & mysql. Anyway, I’ve been listening to some odd music lately. Modest Mouse, for one. They’re not half bad, in all honesty. I’m not a HUGE fan, but it’s a nice break from all the standard stuff I normally listen to. Nothing interesting has happened lately for me to report on, unfortunately. One thing I’ve been amused by, however, is the proliferance of all these rating sites. I mean, everyone knows about “Face The Jury (FTJ)”:http://www.facethejury.com and “The Dilly (The Dilly)”:http://www.thedilly.com but there’s also “Facebattle (Face Battle)”:http://www.facebattle.com and now I’ve just found “YouBeenX (You Been X)”:http”://www.youbeenx.com which as of right now is completely free from what I can tell, though I haven’t actually signed up for it. There’s actually a fair number of hot girls on there and they allow their AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo names to be viewable by default, which is cool. Most of the others, you have to pay to actually see that stuff. Personally, I could give two shits how much better or worse I look compared to other guys. I’m not hot, I’m not ugly, I’m just me. Don’t like it, there’s the door and don’t let it hit ya in the ass on the way out. Anyway, I don’t have any other really random musings at the moment, but I’m sure I’ll post back if I come up with more.
Ugh… christ… I have no clue why I’m still awake, but I’m not really tired.. I just downloaded VAST’s new CD “Nude” and it’s amazing. As of right now, I’ve not picked a favorite song on it yet. They’re all really good from what I can tell. I’m also in the process of downloading Modest Mouse’s CD called “Good News For People Who Love Bad News”. They also have another one called “This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About”. Dunno what their deal is with long titles, but they’re not a half-bad band. Anyway, I got bored and took a screenshot of my desktop…

I’m testing out some new styles to see how they look… I haven’t definitely decided on one yet. I just got tired of the old one and figured it was time for a change. I upgraded to the latest version of wordpress, which is REALLY nice. It has some new features, so I’m working on incorporating them as well. We’ll see how it turns out. ![]()
OK, so I’ve gone awhile without posting… no big deal, frankly, I’ve not really had the desire to sit and blabber about my life in general. About the only thing worthwhile that’s happened is that I got fired from my shit job. Joy. So I’ll go find another job elsewhere and move on. No big deal. Before I go finding a new job, I want to take some time off and not work for a week or two. I got fired like Monday, so this upcoming Monday will be a week. In all honesty, I’m to the point where getting out of TN would be the best thing ever. I’d just like to move somewhere else.. like FL or something, I dunno. Anywhere but here with all these goddamn worthless idiot rednecks who are completely incapable of intelligible speaking. Somewhere that people actually listen to and appreciate techno would be kinda cool too. Oh, and high-speed internet access has to be prevalant there as well. Other than that, I don’t care TOO much… Anyway, I’ve spent the last couple of days with my friend Sam, which was cool… We had fun with fire extinguishers on Thursday night, which was loads of fun. Didn’t do much else that was worth noting that I can remember. Oh, well… and in the past couple of days, I’ve run across a few interesting things on the web worth checking out, so here goes the links, in no particular order.
street racing vids
How to dress emo
about the best online pool site
Hilarious fucking jokes
collection of famous artists’ tour riders (stipulations on what they require for a show, etc).. hilarious shit!
Ok, I’m done.. time for some sleep, I guess. Comment away if you please. It gives me something to read… and lets me know you actually read this shit.
I found this on a forum… I found it most amusing… enjoy!

This is why rally drivers own all ass and rally racing is the best motorsport on earth. Seriously, driving a 300hp 4wd car on single-lane dirt roads through hairpin turns in the middle of a forest in the pouring rain takes a special kind of skill. Not to mention the fact that they only get pit stops at checkpoints and they only get a certain amount of time to make as many changes as they can. Conditions can change not only from day to day, but stage to stage and even from the beginning of the stage to the end. Rally racing is the shit. Too bad it’s not popular in America.
