Lately I've been chatting with my friend Tim about amateur astronomy & telescopes. He has gotten bit by the bug, and has a young daughter who is starting to get interested in the stars. It's really wonderful to see people (especially little people) get excited about a hobby like astronomy. It's a little oddball,...

I’ve had 3 days to get acquainted with my Pre. While not enough to live with the device in-depth, it’s an ample amount of time to be both wow’d and disappointed by the Pre. I’m going to assume the reader knows the basic Pre facts, so let’s get right to it, bad news first....

Am eating a new sandwich for lunch today from Quizno’s. This one’s called a Pesto Turkey Torpedo, and it’s a long, extremely thin sandwich with a new type of bread, almost foccachia-like. For sizing, think about a giant Olive Garden breadstick…but with a firmer texture. Other than the form factor and bread, it’s pretty...

Over the last few decades, the heart of American racing has shifted from Indy to NASCAR. No judgement from me on that, it is what it is, and NASCAR brings in the crowds. It’s really the only widely known “stock” car racing here. We race our Impalas, Malibus, Fuisons, and Camrys, on superspeedways, always...
