If you have ever wondered what cars ice skating would look like, you have to check this video clip from King5 news in Seattle. At first, I thought it was a jackass style hoax and people were purposely trying to crash into cars, but then as the video shows additional cars go through the same thing, I realized that…
A friend from work just showed me the following URL from the Whistler Mountain http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/weather/snowreport/index.htm They have had over 348 inches of new snow so far this year and have a base of 114 inches.

I have to say again that HD is pretty amazing. I love watching football on HD and despite being a pre-purchase HDTV skeptic, I have actually now become an HDTV-snob (although I didnt come to grips with it until my friends told me today). I dont really watch that much TV, but when I do now, I tend to only visit…
I just read an interesting article on the effect that Blue Nile is having on mom-and-pop diamond retailers and the diamond industry as a whole. A few interesting comments from the article talked about how despite the cheaper prices, internet consumers spend nearly 2x the amount at Blue Nile than standard retailers: " The…
I had never heard or seen this company before, but my brother told me about Retro Sport. It is a company that specializes in creating t-shirts, hats, and other memorabilia with logos and styles from back in the day. I am disappointed that they dont have a good Georgetown t-shirt other than the 1984 NCAA Championship one,…
Sometimes when you are sitting in traffic on 520 wondering why you see people that have 1 or 2 people in their car but are still using the 3 person HOV lane, wonder no more…. The reason: the fine is only $86 if you are caught for the offense. Im sure a few people…
