Hanging out the other night with Roger I spotted this on some girls jacket so we snapped a picture. Goes well with Roger’s site: a-bombwear.com

So I got talked into (out of pity, of course) spending the night with G-Dawg lined up at Best Buy for the Day-after-Thanksgiving sale. Greg got us in line at something like 30th place, still enough to get some kind of a good deal on the door-buster loss-leaders they were advertising. So I show up with a “party in a box” along with some cans of chili and a stove (MSR’s Pocket Rocket which is awesome!) to make our stay a bit more enjoyable.

Well, last minute after we spent all night from 11pm to 5am in line, a bunch of jerkoffs blast past everyone and crowd the doors. Soon, it was probably close to about 150 people who just disregarded the whole line. Someone called the cops (kinda dumb, but at the same time I understand) and Best Buy did nothing. This could have totally been avoided if they would have just put up a rope fence the night before and have some goons out in the morning. Lots of people got scrapes and bruises when the door finally opened and the mob shoved everyone inside.

Waste of time, other than the experience. Personally, I’d go for an experience like the Mongolia Rally instead over this any day, or night, as the case may be.

Here’s the pic:

I want to do this in a bad way! Anyone with some mechanical ability want to join me?

This stuff is fabulous! Awesomely smooth Montepulchiano. And for the price it better be. This is the only place I found it online in the US.

Vio’s dog, Bailey got into a bit of a dog fight this morning with 2 huskies. She got bit pretty good. Right now, she has 2 bandages from some other thing, and then this. This dog ALWAYS has some kind of new scar or scrape. Take a look:

A friend just emailed me this. I dunno if it’s all true but it’s a cool commercial:

Check this out. It’ll blow you away!

There are NO computer graphics or digital tricks in the film you will see (link below). Everything you’ll see really happened in real time. The film required 606 takes.

On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn’t work. Engineers would have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting day and night. By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions. The film cost $6 million and took three months to complete, including the engineering of the sequence. In addition, it’s two minutes long so every time Honda aired the film on British television, they were shelling out a lot more dough.

When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately. The engineers and filmmakers disassembled two Honda Accords to make the film. Everything you’ll see (aside from the walls, floor, ramp and complete Honda Accord) are parts from those two cars. When the ad was shown to Honda executives they liked it and commented about the amazing computer graphics. They fell off their chairs when they learned it was for real, with absolutely no special effects.

About the windshield wipers: on the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start functioning automatically as soon as they become wet.

Also, you may think that the tires which roll UPHILL must require some computer-generated effects. Not so. That sequence, where some tires roll up a slope, looks particularly impressive but is very simple. There are weights placed inside the top of each tire. When the tires are hit, the weights are displaced and while rebalancing, the tires roll up the slope. This is amazing. Check it out:
