@Stevox: Funny you should say that. When I was in architecture school, I did my fair share of all nighters. Our studios faced east over downtown Newark and New York City. Every time I was in studio for an all-nighter I would take a photo of the sunrise. One of the better ones:

@Leeeeena the Jalopchick: 1000% agree. I try as hard as I can to never ever brake if I can avoid it. Especially on the highway. If you keep an adequate distance from the person in front of you, you should never need to brake on the highway. Go with the flow and anticipate what others are going to do. My favorite thing…

@Skunky: Whenever I borrow a truck from my uncle, I spend a few minutes fixing the mirrors. All of his employees are short so the mirrors are always set where I'm looking at myself once I push the seat back.

@AutobahnBurner: I agree about the radio. I love having people in the passenger seat DJ my or their iPods. Flicking thru an iPod while on the move is highly distracting, so when I have someone else who can do it I take full advantage.

@TraderCoz: Fine, then you're paying the ticket when we get stopped.

My friend got in my car once eating a burrito. Not a 7-11 microwave job, but a full on, bean filled chipotle style one from a local mexican place. We were running late and he hadn't eaten so I begrudgingly allowed it. I hit a pothole as we got on the highway, and turned to watch the burrito, in slow motion, arc out of…

When the Sixth Sense was freaking people out in the movies with its twist ending back in 1999, the morning radio show I listened to was dying to talk about it but they couldn't, since people hadn't seen it and they didn't want to spoil it. Eventually, they decided that if you hadn't see it yet you didn't care, so they…

This looks like what happens when you hit "auto dimension" in Inventor.

@gmrple: Is it bad that the best thing I have to do this afternoon is see if that works?

@mrwoolery: +1000 for the benny hill style music

A mouse still rules the roost for CAD and 3D modeling. I attempted to do two things in a Rhino model once with a trackpad when I forgot my mouse at school... it took an hour and left me a bitter and broken man.

@JSurfer1451: amen. then we can have a war over who gets to annex central jersey.

When we were remodeling our kitchen, I was installing the under-cabinet lights before the countertops went in. I dropped my screwdriver in the triangular hole that was made by the angled back of the corner cabinet and the two walls of the corner. The screwdriver fell all the way to the floor, and the combination of…

Certainly not Land Rover. There's only a few forums that I know of... rangerovers.net, discoweb, landroversonly, and landroverforums. Most of the posts are usually "HELP! my air suspension/heater core/air conditioning/cylinder block liners are broken!"

@Miscellanea: There have been concepts along this line, like LTL's Park Tower. Vertical integration of parking and living; you drive up the building to your front door.

@MaWeiTao: He&DeM are swiss.

@ament001: It may be too busy visually just to keep in your living room, let alone to take things apart on.

@DomCasual: My 3G is so slow now it sometimes takes a full minute to bring up text messages; I've timed it. Way too much inconvenience for the few new features.

@salmonofdoubt: I had an NYPD officer tell me to erase my memory card when I was taking photos at WTC PATH just after it opened. I'm an architect, and found the structure incredibly somber, and beautifully simple. I told the cop this and he wanted none of it. Watched me erase all the photos of the station off the…

My friend and his girlfriend bought a house about 3 weeks ago. They have a two car garage, but since the side of the house is on a hill, the garages are spilt. His is the higher one, on the left, and hers is the lower one, on the right. She had just bought a brand new Honda CR-V (ugh) and was pulling out of the garage…
