Great Scott!

A Houston company has bought delorean motors and plans to make about 200 a year.


They're gonna run around $42K which isn't bad if you consider that it's one of the coolest cars of all time. Of course $42K is a lot to pay for an less than average performing car.


Now I just have to find me some flux capacitor and Mr. Fusion schematics online...

Hyrule saved

Last night (after many, many hours of play - I've been playing it since February) I finished Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Despite a few gripe sessions (mostly caused by my poor gaming skills), I loved this game. It's incredibly long - clocked in at 55 hours of play to finish - and there's still a lot of little things I could go and do (non-story related quests, mini games, etc).

Unfortunately the system hung on the "The End" Screen and I didn't get it saved. So if I want to complete all the little things, I'd have to repeat last night's 3 hours session. I think Ocarina of Time is a better way to go.

Anyway, I just wanted to share that I've finally finished it. Not that anyone cares about my sad little accomplishments...

...and he's....SAFE!

So I finished HP: Deathly Hallows last night.

Now I can stop avoiding everything online (which is way harder than I thought). Now I can actually get something done.

WOOT.

I really liked it (No spoilers here), and while I know this is the last Harry book, I hope that J.K. Rowling thinks about other books in the world she's created. Because frankly, I'm glad this is the last book about Harry. From book one, Harry has always gotten on my nerves, but I love the wizarding world the author has developed.

Oh, and literary/internet gods, I'll get started on those promises tomorrow...

4-Wheeled Goodness

This could be the coolest fanboy creation EVER:


Yep, someone made a replica warthog from Halo.

I wonder if it only takes one person to right it when it flips over...

Amusing

Found this comic strip while surfing. Don't worry no spoilers here (click to enlarge):

Prayer to the literary/internet gods

To the powers that be:

Last night I started Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. PUH-leez let me get through it without anything being ruined for me. If you allow me to read this book unspoiled I promise I'll read a super dull book (I'm talking Grapes of Wrath boring) and won't look at porn for a week.

I know I'm asking a lot, this is going to be impossible, probably not as impossible as some people I know (one that works in a book store and one in radio), but difficult nonetheless.

Which is why I'm willing to sacrifice so much time being bored and pornless (a great website BTW, boredandpornless.com - but I digress).

Anyway, please, please, PLEASE help me out here.

Sincerely,
Me.

Oh, I'd also like a pony and a plastic rocket...

Evil Geniuses

Damn those evil geniuses at Microsoft. They have this power to repulse me (Vista) and draw me in at the same time.

I refer to the newest announcement from them, surface computing. What is surface computing you may ask? It's basically a coffee table that is multi-touch operated, the table surface itself is the display/user interface/peripheral connection (video link here).
