I now hate Eddie Griffin...

In the filming of the new movie "Red Line," Eddie Grffin totaled a $1.2 million dollar Ferrari Enzo. Only 400 were made.

After doing some searching I found that there recently was another accident with an Enzo, this one looks a little worse. I guess these two wrecks just made the Enzo even more rare.

Hard drive died

Due to the untimely death of my hard drive, blog post will be sparse over the next week.

:(

I went home to visit my parents this weekend. Today we ended up going to Pittsburgh. We noticed that a lot of the streets were blocked then we realized that there was a protest that was about to take place. Fun just follows me around where ever I go.

On the way up to see my parents I followed this gem for a few miles. Who in their right mind would put this baby on a car carrier?

I'm loving Google Earth

I spent a few hours today virtually exploring places where I've taken photographs. For those of you that don't already know, Google Earth is a free program that lets you zoom into a destination anywhere in the world. It's great for maps and for checking out your vacation destinations.

Movie day..

Jer and I went to see a couple of movies today. Jer picked Premonition and my choice was 300 with the IMAX experience. Both movies were worth the money but 300 was by far one of the best movies I've seen in a while. The movie was visually amazing kinda like The Matrix and Troy rolled into one. I'm definitely buying 300 when it comes to DVD.

lately I've been dreaming about...

..getting a Lotus.

My dream home

A few years ago Jer and I went to Myrtle Beach for spring break. There were some huge houses along the beach with some amazing architecture. If I ever get to the point in my life to build a house, it will be modeled after this one.

boring day

I did nothing but watch movies all day. I so needed the relaxation after the long week I had.

New GT Stang

I was digging around through some photos of last summers car show and found this little gem in the rough.

World of Widgets

I spent most of my weekend watching TV and finding new and exciting "widgets" to add to my blog. I was overwhelmed with how much sidebar crap there actually is out there. Here's what I added:

Snap gives you a high quality link preview so you can easily decide if a site looks interesting enough to fully load.

~------o0o------~

Plugoo enables you to chat directly from your Instant Messenger with any visitor of your blog. You use the plugoo on the side bar as your IM window.

~------o0o------~

Twitter is kinda like a blog within a blog. Sometimes your not doing anything interesting enough to warrant an actual entry, but you might want to keep any stalkers up-to-date with what/who your currently doing/thinking/having sex with.

~------o0o------~

MyBlogLog is a cool way to interact with others in the blogosphere. The little widget shows you who recently visited your site and may help drive traffic to your site, but it's too soon for me to tell if it's working.

~------o0o------~

Flickr widget shows a mini version of your already uploaded images. Clicking on one of the mini images will take you directly to that image.

So there's my list. Does anyone know of some other cool widgets? Think I have too many?
