Amphicar

One of my all time favorites.
The Amphicar.

I didn't know that Lyndon Johnson had an Amphicar.
I was perusing this site on Presidential Limousines, and they noted that "LBJ used to love to scare unsuspecting guests by driving into the water."

EpochTime


Its getting closer!
Eventually it will read 1234567890! (Friday, February 13th 2009, 23:31:30 UTC)

Good thing someone built a counter.
Here it is.

What the heck is Epoch time anyhow?

"The Unix epoch is the time 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 1970."
Of course Excel uses the number of days since 1/1/1900, so the Excel date code of 123456789 won't be here until 03/16/12233. Probably not gonna make that one.

I think that the time is right
to hang the old For Sale sign
up on the Blog.
Of course I will accept payments.
I wonder how accurate this is?
Check yours?

Motorcycle of the Month



Hubless Monster
I really like the look of this.
It took me a while to figure out how the drive works.
Its friction driven, so there is a smaller drive wheel in between the back wheel and the rear wheel.
Like a Ferris wheel.
According to Amen design's Milestone page, it's 5 years old.
