	Popcorn, anyone? by brian @ 23:06:32 - [perma-link] I picked up this popcorn machine at Fry's to put in my Home Theater. It makes pretty tasty popcorn, and won't take up too much space. And if I use it and don't clean it for a while, I'll get that authentic theater popcorn flavor!

	Long time, no post... by brian @ 15:06:42 - [perma-link] I moved my RAID storage into my athlon box last week, and just now relocated the box to the basement. It booted up and needs to check the filesystem integrity on the 1.2 terabyte RAID parition. 277 days seems like a long time between checks. That's probably from way back when I first built it. I need to set up some monitoring so I don lose everything. Thii gong to take a while.

	Earthrace by brian @ 11:10:10 - [perma-link] Claudia and I went for a ride on the boat yesterday with Flash and her new puppy, Bear 2.0 (she came up here to get him). The dogs were really good on the boat. Flash is looking much more tolerant of the ridiculous engine noise. Anyhow... When we cruised up toward downtown Portland, we saw this weird looking boat at one of the docks. Earthrace is a boat from New Zealand that is planning to make a record-breaking 65-day trip around the world sometime this fall (according to their website). According to specs, the boat's twin 540hp engines can push the 78- foot long craft to a max speed of 45 knots. My boat is faster (woohoo! pbbbbbt!), but not in the kind of chop and swells they'll bust right through on the oceans. I should find out when they're leaving and go chase them up to the Columbia :).

	Pimped my ride! by brian @ 00:53:06 - [perma-link] I'm watching South Park. In my van. On about a 60" projection (on a, uh, bed sheet). This is so stupidly cool!
	Pimped my brain! by brian @ 00:55:23 - [perma-link] My bad. The giant projection from the mac mini distracted me, and I forgot to attach the pictures. Duh.

	Nice purse, dork! by brian @ 11:58:39 - [perma-link] I can almost understand this guy carrying his wife/girlfriend's purse for convenience when they were walking together. Almost. BUT, I'm pretty sure she's at the bar around the corner, and he just walked down here to check his spot on the list, solo, carrying that cute little gold handbag. I don't get it. Is he worried that if he doesn't hold her bag hostage she's gonna leave?

movie (click to play)	VW Show at PIR by brian @ 03:41:44 - [perma-link] Josh, Niko and I went down to the VW show at Portland Raceway today. I checked out the swap meet with the goal of finding hubcaps, and (as you saw in the blurry photo earlier) I found them. We watched a few rounds of the drag races, including a couple of passes (well, almost) by the little guy on that reality show that I'm gonna have to start watching now. He had a slow first pass, then blew a gear or something in the second (the one in the video). Josh thinks maybe he was using a short shift kit and thrashed the gears. I really should be asleep already, but my parents are coming to visit tomorrow so I had to clean up. And, uh, post this movie.
