Super Chimney

This sounds like a good idea.
Build it into the side of a mountain.

Kodak uses threats to get you to fork over cash

I have used Kodak Gallery to share photos with Friends.
It was a Free service and I thought that it was pretty good. I personally haven't bought any prints though.
I know that my sister has.
Today I get an Email from them letting me know that they will burn my photos if I don't pay up.
Because you currently do not meet the minimum purchase requirement established by our new storage policy, your stored photos will be deleted from your Gallery account if you do not act soon.

Here is your current status:
Current photo storage:	2.10 GB
Purchase requirement:	$19.99
Amount you have spent:	$0.00
Amount you need to spend:	$19.99
Deletion date:	05/16/2009

So if I buy $20.00 worth of Coffee mugs and 4 x6's they'll put the matches down, but only for a year.
I think that they pretty much lost any chance of ever selling a camera to me in the future.

SteelHouse

This house looks like it was designed by a famous architect.

Why learning to spell is so important!

HDR

High Dynamic Range pictures are so captivating.
Lots of pictures here.
Even a tutorial on how to make your own.

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.

Blog For Sale

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.

Store Bought Cookies

Yahoo has this article on store bought Cookies.
I think that most of these are horrible, but I would like to try some of the higher ones on the list.
I have to admit, Rita Mauceri and Elycia Rubin are easy on the eyes.

More Hardware Store Pics

I found the pictures that I took of the Hardware store in Anson.
These were taken in March of 2005, almost three years ago.
You can see that a few more of the upper windows have been broken, but the inside of the building is pretty much the same.
Compare to this post

George Moss Hardware

I was working in Abilene this week, so I drove up to Anson Texas one afternoon.
On the Northwest corner of the town Circle there is an old hardware that closed at least 15 or 20 years ago, maybe longer ago.
The roof of the building has caved in so it is not safe to enter the building.
You can still see the tools and paint cans left right on the shelf or display case.
This is the type of hardware store that I remember going to when I was a kid.
This old store is right next door to the sheriffs office, but I do find it amazing that nobody has broken in and stolen any of the tools.
If they ever can fix the roof, I hope that they can preserve the store as a museum.

MiceAge

I love Disney, but not all things Disney.
What I love most is the parks, well really one park Disneyland.
It's the only Disney park that I have been to.
I enjoy going there with the family, and I love the history.

I especially love the magic of how it is built.
I remember as a kid wondering how they could fit all of those scenes below New Orleans Square.
There is a site with lots of Disney Fanatics on it called MiceAge, or MiceChat
I pretty much stick to the posts about Disneyland Resort
Some of the posts are funny, and there is a ton of information there and amazingly talented individuals.
One member is building a Virtual Disneyland, but the best part is that it includes all of the backstage buildings.

Martin Luther King Jr.

Great Speech. You really should watch it all of the way through.

Taser Story

These type of stories always crack me up.

pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsy, bitsy triple-A batteries)

Bogie

I didn't know that the wheel sets on a rail car were called Bogies.
There are a lot of different designs.
Some of them are pretty high tech.
Even some Model sites with lots of pictures like this Australian site.

I also thought that a Bogey in Golf was named after Humphrey Bogart, but alas, that is not the case either.
