These past few storms we've had knocked out the whole one side of my town. It was sort of cool too drive around and learn how the power grid is organized.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet. BIG RIMS! I'm sick of seeing old muscle cars rolling around on 22-26' rims with a skinny tire.

@tomcatt: I drive a civic with a 40 series flowmaster on it. Sounds great.

Every time a Porsche catches fire an angel gets its wings.

@Phil Miecznikowski: Too add to that, he now drives a regular old hyundai because his spiret has been broken. All this is in chicago btw.

Zuckerberg!

@andy.gillette: Um, you obviously don't know or haven't used squarespace. It is arguably the best blogging platform out there. And 10x cheaper then wordpress.

This is the best app ever! Better download it fast! All the beta downloaders get a lifetime subscription service free! after they come out of beta.

@RenRen: Err I knew it was going to be a bad analogy from the start. Was one of those posts that your like "hmmm maybe should have said that differently..."

We have specific software that only works with IE. Ontop of that I would say at least 70% of the staff at the school district I manage are not tech savvy enough to figure out how to use Firefox. Sounds crazy but it's true. If it doesn't look like its been the last 10 years it's obviously broken and I need to come fix

If people would just run linux it wouldn't be slow. Windows on a netbook is like trying to put a massive v10 motor in a minicooper... It would never really fit right and though the engine would work great you dont see a performance boost because the mini can't handle all the power. So that's why you stick to a 4

This tempts me to install linux on my new gaming rig at the house. My primary computer I use is my netbook and that's running UNR.

Ubuntu, mainly on my laptop and work computers. Windows 7 for home theater pc and gaming rig. #operatingsystems
