Meet Lizzy

Saturday, September 24th, 2005

It wouldn’t be right to end one post saying farewell to my old truck and not introduce Lizzy at some point. Lizzy is a 2000 Chevy S-10 ZR2 all dressed up in her sleekest black party dress and she is without a doubt the most beautiful truck I have ever seen.
Our first week [...]

Monday, September 19th, 2005

Read an article on Slashdot today about a Swedish MP3 player maker who is being taken to court for not paying a “fee” to the recording industry that “compensates” them for music being copied to other formats for personal use. All I can say is, “More power to you, Jens!” If there is [...]

The old site was about as comprehensive as frozen pizza is a good dinner—all the basics were there, but it was still missing any real “nutritional value” or [...]

Trucks and Hard Times

Friday, September 2nd, 2005

Today my truck turned 200,000. She may not look it, but she sure feels like it most days. Poor old girl has taken good care of me; and I her, as much as possible. It’s an odd thing to look back on the last 11 years of her life. She’s had [...]
