Redesign?

I’m also thinking about redesigning this site. I need something more modular and focused on my work and my photography–more of a portfolio site along with some date/calendar features. Something akin to facebook but without all of the Farm Animal discoveries.

Cooking

I don’t know if I mentioned it, but I redesigned the site where Nils will teach you how to cook.

We have returned to Lowertown, Saint Paul.

Here are some photos of my new room. The walls are bare because I’m in the process of selecting examples of my photography that I would like to put up. I turned my room into a living space/gallery. Enjoy:

This American Blog

Has kind of gone the way of the Dodo, and I’d like to apologize to it for my neglect. I’m sorry, blog. I’ve been so busy lately with other web projects that I haven’t had time for you. Facebook is so much easier. She’s a slut–always up for a quick one-liner or a simple update. I promise I’ll be a better blogger once this next project is done. I know I’ve said that before, but I mean it this time. Just give me one more chance, baby. One more chance!

Commence to Print!

My 30″ x 20″ prints came today. I’m super pleased with them. Here’s a shot of them on our dining table/eric’s workbench:

I like that.

For whatever reason, I like this song. It beats my drum hard.

New Trail Running Shoes!

My car isn’t the only thing getting faster. I just got myself some La Sportiva trail running shoes for my road trip.

I’m gonna run up a mountain.

Stage 2: complete

Maddad Whisper 3″ Turbo-back Exhaust installed. Dyno’d tune coming up on Tuesday. Results so far:

Peak torque: 307 ft/lb.

Peak horsepower: 265 hp.

Most dealers and car manufacturers use power at the crank to estimate horsepower and torque, so multiply by 1.25 and you get the numbers you’d see on the spec sheet at your local dealership. Those would be: 384 ft/lb of torque and 331 hp. Mind you, this is without a tune. We didn’t have time for the tune today. That happens next Tuesday. We should see substantial gains then. For posterity, I’ll put up the dyno sheet.

If you need me…

I’ll be in the basement with the Shop Vac on, in Plymouth.

Tiger Woods

When they announced that Tiger Woods was having an affair with one woman, it was: “Well, he’s famous and he’s fallible.”

When they announced that Tiger Woods was having an affair with three women, it was: “Well, now, that’s a juggling act that couldn’t last long.”

When they announced that Tiger Woods was having an affair with seven women, it was: “There goes his half of the estate, the dog, and the Nike endorsement.”

Now it’s thirteen (two of whom are porn stars) and they’re calling for him to apologize and I’m wondering, “Why even apologize?” It’s so obvious by now that he isn’t just having an affair; he’s building a fucking menagerie.
