June 29th, 2007 by James

I really don’t have anything against Paris Hilton, but I am kind of inclined to agree with this journalist, and say that there is MUCH more important news than Paris getting out of jail. Boo Hoo!

More cool videos!

Another cool video of my favorite car! We sold our 1992 Mustang LX 5.0 last year to raise capital for our computer repair business, and can not wait until we get another one. It also has one of my favorite car designers of all time, Carol Shelby.

and another one from all the way in 1998

Microsoft has come out with a pretty cool table that can replace the normal computer that is in your living room. They have come out with a whole new way to interact with the table and not use a keyboard or mouse.

Here is a link to the Microsoft site for the table.

A quick video

and of course a parody video, just for fun. Warning – slightly adult language in a few parts of the video.

A little to much fun!

June 23rd, 2007 by James

This guy either has had to much coffee or missed his mental evaluation. If you don’t like watch car racing, I would skip the video, hehe

This post came from Autoblog originally. Here is a quote from the site

UPDATE: Many thanks to all the commenters, who filled in the blanks we didn’t look to Google Video for. The facts, for new arrivals:

* The track is Mid-America Motorplex in Pacific Junction, IA.
* The camera car is a 1980 Porsche 911SC powered by a 3.6L from a 964.
* The ‘Stang he’s chasing is a Saleen. Its driver calls it “Nemesis,” explaining the nature of the taunts.
* The two drivers in the video are brothers.
* It is one of our favorite videos ever.

Being careful at Free Wireless Hotspots

June 11th, 2007 by James

This is a pretty alarming video of someone sitting in a hotel lobby where there is Free Wireless Internet for their customers, and a “Hacker” or “Hustler” as they are called in England is capturing all of their information. After capturing the information the Hustler uses it to make purchase large ticket items on the Internet.

Lost or locked your keys in your car?

June 1st, 2007 by James

If you have ever lost or locked your keys in your Car, Truck, or SUV you can have someone with the other key chain remote call you on your cell phone. You would then put the phone near the vehicle, they would push the unlock button on the remote, and the locked vehicle should unlock!

Here is the reason that Blake Lewis should win American Idol

May 8th, 2007 by James

This performance just completely rocked! He came up with the arrangement for this song and we loved it. We have it on our DVR and have listened to over and over to see all of the things that he came up with as far as the lyrics, music change ups and the lighting.

Sanjaya is finally gone!!!!!

April 18th, 2007 by James

I can not say enough about what happened tonight. There must have a telephone troubles last night or all of the 8-12 year old girls had used up all of their text messages and could not vote for Sanjaya. But whatever the reason, it was a good one, he is gone.

This was a video from the idiot that started all of this non-sense in the first place on Late Night with David Letterman.
