Here is a link to some jeepin' videos that me and tman made. You can see my big head sticking out of tman's jeep on one of the videos. Most of the time and I am the one yelling directions or filming the action. Enjoy!
PS Lycos UK sometimes sucks (no offense to my UK friends) and doesn't work right. You may have to visit my main page and then type in the actual address.
I really hate November. I hate the days getting shorter especially. I can't wait for January. That means no time until spring. I can handle gloom, but only when I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. How the h**l do you spell tunnel anyway? I used to be a champion speller, now I'm just another dumb hick who don't know from no from gnome. Or something. Blech!! I hate November.
My buddy Tman just entered an elite club. He is now officially the proud owner of a 1979 Jeep CJ5 Golden Eagle. Honestly it's not much to look at. But it's a freakin' jeep! Plus the golden eagle on the hood is cool as crap. Take a look:

The eagle looks like it's going to jump out and eat you. Here is a picture of the "cockpit":

I really need some seats like this:

I have a feeling we'll be putting this accessory to good use:

This should make an awesome rock crawling buggy. And tman's new handle is "Big Bird". But watch out if you call him that: He can hit pretty hard. To see all of the pictures click here.
I've made a few tweaks to my blog again. I changed the side bar so that it looked a little better and added links to my last 10 posts. That way lazy people don't have to scroll all the way down the page to see something they might actually want to read.
The biggest change I have made is adding the HaloScan commenting system. After figuring out what a pain it was to use the Blogger commenting system, I decided to try out HaloScan for awhile. I still haven't figured out the trackback system though. The bad part is that I lost all two of my comments. But that's ok. Maybe someone will actually comment again someday. Until then... uh ... later ... uh ... and stuff.
I have been looking for a simple way to watch movies on my PocketPC. Admittedly I haven't dug very deep for a suitable solution. It seemed too complicated to mess with. But now I have found the easiest way to transfer DVD's to your PocketPC. Pocket Divx Encoder is absolutely idiot proof. It is a program for your pc that will format DVD's to watch on your Pocket PC. Now it may not have all of the bells and whistles that other programs have, but it's freeware. To watch the files on your PocketPC, you will need a viewer. Betaplayer is your basic movie file viewer. It works great on my asus 620. You will need a pretty hearty memory card if you want to have more than one movie on you pocketpc at a time. "Undercover Brother" (one of the funniest movies I"ve seen in the last few years) took up 96MB at a pretty low quality setting.
Overall the process was fairly easy and much less complicated than I thought. If you have any questions, post in the comments section.
I've found a cool new tool that I can use to create posts offline. It's called w.bloggar. Kind of a weird name, but pretty useful. The blogger interface is sometimes really buggy and slow. Hopefully this will be an improvement over the blogger interface. If you are interested in checking it out, click on the w.bloggar link on the sidebar. Enjoy!
EDIT: Ok this is really cool. But how the crap do I add a title to my posts? More digging is required...
Maybe if I ask a direct question my faithful followers will post a creative comment on said question. Hmmmm...
What is the air speed velocity of an African Swallow? Maybe it's, uh, What is the air speed velocity of an unladen European Swallow carrying a sword? No. Wait a minute. I've got it.
What is the air speed velocity of a bastardized mulatto swallow carrying a sword made of coconut husks?
Yeah. I am now waiting patiently for your answers. Don't hurt yourselves fighting over the computer please.
I have to think of something snappy to post here. I've had four hits on my blog this afternoon. Oooh, what can I post that will make people interested in the real me? And will make people like me?
Such is our plight as mere humans on the face of this hunk of rock we call Earth. I went through all of those emotions in the span of about five minutes on Friday, October 29th 2004. What could casue such despair, you may ask? The (second) love of my life died, again.
My Jeep that I had spent three straight weekends of my life working on, died again on Friday. The new motor decided to lock up and quit running on me. There was a warranty on it. But the warranty doesn't cover the time and effort and cussing it took to get that engine to work right the first time. It also won't cover the agony and time it will take to get another new one in there.
My dilemma (now that the initial suffering is over) is this: should I put another rebuilt motor in my Jeep, or take the money and buy something else? Ah, decisions, decsions.
