Tidbits.... My previous post was wipted out due to blogger.com going offline for a few minutes. Now I have to waste time thinking of the stuff I typed beforehand ....

Yahoo got a redesign. Looks a lot better now, more consise and clean. I'm a big fan of clean web designs. The buzz log is also pretty interesting. Kinda like Google Zeitgeist but more fun since it assigns a numerical value to the search entries (like a stock market for popular search terms).

Lexus gave me a quote of $1100 for replacing four tires. Uh, no way. a) the stock IS300 tires are nice but wear out really quickly. b) Searching online, the tire was around $170 about a year ago (might even be cheaper now). Lexus probably even gets a nicer deal from Bridgestone since they buy in bulk. So they are trying to screw me to the tone of ~$420 for labor. Anyways, decided to go with EmotionGarage, they offered me a more cost-effective solution. Might hit them up for future car mods if I'm so inclined.

My character in TW2005 is now maxed out. Playing on the PGA tour now. When I get too bored I'll amp up the difficulty and watch the bogeys pile up.

Chicago Cubs. Jolted again in the bottom of the ninth, two outs, two strikes. This almost makes up for the Rockies pulling a complete choke job and wasting a 5-0 lead in the ninth. Clint Hurdle is an idiot for not pulling Chacon who had walked FOUR batters in a row.

GO GIANTS!
