Movie choices for the evening
- The Shining
Just finished mandatory "Corporate Brand Training"
It was awful. But my reward is a “poster” (a JPEG) that says “I’m not adding numbers I’m ADDING VALUE”
Why haven't pupusas caught on in the US?
They're delicious. Definitely in the top 5 best "meat inside a bread pocket" foods.
Evergreen Speedway Autocross
12 runs, and no cone-shagging required. Any PNW oppos ever go there? It’s in Monroe, WA.
I found nothing about this article to disagree with (politics, but really sports)
Growing up, my brother played baseball, and my parents were heavily involved in that. They knew all of the other high school athletes and their parents. I know, #notallathletes, but at least 90% of the baseball, football, and basketball players at my high school were scummy assholes. At least half were outright…
Sad story, but...
“The car lurched backward...”
Thoughts?
To save you some reading, he says you should take Uber instead. I think it’s a slim margin of people for whom this makes sense. And for all of those people, public transit makes more sense. For me, Uber would cost at least $2,000 a month for just my commute.

I got 1st in Stock FWD!
Shitpost, I guess

Is writing Lifehacker articles a chore?
Just wondering...
What kind of a monster...
...has this vanity plate?
DOTS
Do you think in Japan they say things like “this thing is basically a G35, dude”?
Extra Car Key
The person who sold me my Neon only had one key, and I’d like to get a second. Is the dealership the only place to get one?
Just something kind of cool:
Stabilized 360 degree video from a roller coaster.
Rallycross Neon: part 8
First rallycross done! The Neon survived, and I didn’t get last place. Both goals achieved. The event was held at Spirit Peaks raceway and organized by the NW Rally Association. They did a great job and everyone there was very welcoming. The drive from Kent, WA to Toutle, WA during rush hour with no A/C was…
Rallycross Neon: part 7
Skid plate is installed! 8 days until the first event. I'm nervous, but incredibly excited. The car has survived multiple days of commuting into Seattle, so a little rallycross is going to be child's play.
