New car time...

Tue, May 6, 2003

It is getting on to time for me to look for a new car.  I was pretty settled on a Z4 3.0i w/ SMG but the new 350Z Roadster is looking pretty sweet. 

I'm looking at picking it up sometime in September, but I want to plan ahead.  I was going to avoid the 350Z Roadster because of the typical new car feeding frenzy but it looks like availability might not be that bad.  However, if I get the Z4, I can pick it up in Spartanburg, NC.

I probably can't say any more than just point to this: Paul Thurrott's first impressions on longhorn graphics.  This is exciting technology to work on.

Use the force...

I just feel sorry for this kid.

Basically, the story (23rd hand, probably) is this:  This kid used a school camera to video tape his star wars fighting skills.  He forgot to take the tape out and someone else found it.  I've mirrored the original video here.

It wasn't long before somebody on the net remixed it by adding appropriate sounds and special effects.  I've mirrored that here also.
