Presented is President-Elect Obama’s first “Fireside YouTube Address.” Obama, like his campaign, is connecting with americans in a new fundamental way. I hope these chats continue and would like to think the total views would increase week to week.
Below is President Rosevelt’s first Fireside Radio Chat. Utilizing new technology, similar to Obama, Rosevelt uses radio. What seems even more interesting is how similar the two chats are. Focused on the financial industry and taking care of the american citizenry. History repeats…

Found a series of images on a calendar at Barnes and Noble. Found a few and thought you should see them. Sorry for the lack of posts…AAA ugggh.

Everyone loves this…if you hate it your not American and were never a child. Plus some amazing Wagner music as well.

The brave man pictured above got an idea to build a Lambo in his basement from watching Cannonball run. With the patience of his loving wife and many years of hard work Ken built his dream car by hand. Although he had a problem he built the car in his own basement to be locked away like Libra’s love life. Some creative thinking and a massive back hoe freed the Lambo for all to see. Check out the story and the amazing pictures here.

Watch the first season and axiously await episode two Sunday night!

On Election Eve we all have a choice to make and hopefully a couple years from now we will all know that choice was the correct choice. All I hope is that we have a record turn out to give the country a new direction which seems to occur every fifty years. Above is the Palin/Peggy Hill comparison. I love me some Peggy Hill and find King of the Hill hilarious in a great aww shucks type of way.

Below is Real Time with Bill Maher. I listen to his show every week via podcast and laugh while driving my car. Everyone can enjoy at least some of the humor.

Remember to go out and vote!

The picture above looks like a very nice 1971 Datsun[Nissan] 240z. I currently have a 1985 300zx and love the car. Being an avid Z fan and a big fan of Jaguar[older jags of course] I have a soft spot for the v12 engine jag put out mostly due to the fact who in the world makes a v12 engine besides the huge cars of the 1920s and 1930s. How about restoring the v12 engine and jamming into a engine bay meant for a inline 6. Two of my favorite cars come together in harmony to produce this…

Currently for sell in Toronto…and I would still maintain my record of not owning a car younger than myself.

I know some of you can check off one item on the “man list.” Knowing how to drive a real stick shift. Pressing the clutch and letting the engine rev and burn some rubber. According to a recent article only 7% of cars sold this past year were stick shift. I know one thing for certain I will have a stick shift as long as I can enjoy revving that engine and showing some young punk in a eclipse how to really drive.

Read the article and those of us that drive a stick can begin to weep.

Does this make me an old man?

Sure, learning to drive a stick was a rite of passage, handed down for generations. Mastering a manual said not only that you knew your way around a car, but that you were becoming a man. But 20 years from now, young drivers may wonder what the fuss was about. Like kids who’ve never heard of the Beatles, they’ll give us a pitying look when we start going on about the days when “real” cars had three foot-pedals and something called a “shift knob.”

Ever wonder what it would be like for Palin to be president? Wonder no more. Unlike Palin I will not stoop to the republican shtick of attacking those who attack me….plus you have to be witty and witty I am not. Here for your viewing and interactive pleasure President Palin.

Check out this site for a scary break down of how New Yorkers drivers licenses are slowly becoming. They will have the capability to track you. I assume they want the public to believe it will only be used for traveling across the boarder to Canada or perhaps to ensure we are not involved in terroristic activities. Scary I know. Time to return to the old paper stand by.

What can we say about RFIDs that hasn’t already made you afraid? Your passport? Clonable. Your work ID and “secure” credit cards? Yeah, those too. Not scary enough? How about every adult New Yorker walking around with one in their back pocket? It’s just a matter of time, as the Empire State’s clearly enhanced drivers licenses (says so right on ‘em) are now hitting the streets. For $30 on a new one, or $10 if you’re looking to upgrade, you can get yourself a radio-wave emitting ID, enabling you to cross the border into Mexico, Canada, or the Caribbean sans-passport. Don’t worry, the cards won’t be broadcasting any personal information — just a unique code that the government can use to track your every movement.
