This old Engadget post reminds me of my Dell mini-pc I hacked up to fit in a block of foam and fans to run my XP on 12V with 80GB of MP3s and videos, with wireless (to sync from outside in the car).  Too bad I never finished the project; but, I did sell it on eBay for a few hundred bucks.  That guy wrote some flash interface for ...

As I start the process of encoding the rest of my footage of Deal's Gap, I went out to see what other videos were out there. Here's a video called Mad Passing at Deal's Gap, as it's exactly that.  Why post this?  Because it makes me feel better about posting my videos.  It's gotten to the point that in my next ...

This is a video of a couple of short clips we took while riding the Tail of the Dragon at Deal's Gap in the mountains of Tennessee. I have hours of footage to organize and put online.  So give me a few weeks for that. Until then, this video is a nice teaser to what's to come. [video] Direct link to download: ...

A friend of mine is pulling the motor out of his 240z he's going to be road racing. He sent over a link today, that had a video of him "Prepping" for the pull.  It shows a time-elapse segment of an entire day - from his garage. http://sccaforums.com/blogs/christoc/archive/2006/06/10/Motor_Pull_Preperation_240Z.aspx Kudos to ...

17.8 MPG vs 24.1 MPG.  Read on... I am not an aggressive driver. I can not count the number of driving schools I've been to that got me out of a speeding ticket.  I know I had 7 in Davidson Co. in Nashville alone, and I only lived there 6 years.  Not to mention the countless counties I have received driving citations in across ...

Well, not really.  But I heard an interview with someone on NPR today that kind of made me accept the higher prices much easier. (let's see if I can interrupt/remember this properly, it's late and I've been working all day)Gas prices are priced similar to Supply and Demand.  Well, our supply is much lower now (and getting even ...

Aiight, I've been mentioning this to quite a few of my friends about a movie I saw on FX this year.  Found it.  It's called Oil Storm. It's close to what has happened currently with the powerloss at the Gulf Oil supply line.  And we are just talking a ''power outage''.  In this movie, it was damaged for over a year to ...

You're eyes aren't lying... Meet the Tango, an electric commuter car available by mail order, assembly required. http://www.commutercars.com/ It has 1000 ft.tq. and can do 0-60 in 4s.  And you can park it on the sidewalk... Did I mention the $85,000 cost for this kit-car?  They mention it as being ultra-stable, mainly due ...

Now I have nothing against drifting.  If I had a car to do it, I would.  I've read the magazine articles where muscle-car gurus step into some of the top Drifting competition cars and come out saying they have a whole new respect for the sport.  But I guess until I save up enough cash to waste a set of tires in 10m, I guess I ...

*** UPDATE 8/9/2005 - Google launched this service about a month ago and I've been serving videos since.  It's VERY cool, but requires you to download a browser plugin. Google is about to launch a new Video service.  From what I gather, it will do two things.  The first is unlimited storage/hosting of your video!  I've ...
