Entertainment!

Well,
I went and saw Penn & Teller for the first time since living here in Las Vegas. A very good show that is worth a look. As well, you should check out their program on Showtime, very entertaining.
I got a Blackberry Bold for my birthday and I must say I really love it. It is through AT&T. I have found that there are several community sites dedicated to Smartphones and Blackberries, such as www.Crackberry.com, www.blackberryforums.com, www.Pinstack.com, and www.BlackberryOS.com. Lot's of helpful information on these amazing devices. Trust me, if you get one you'll never go back to a normal phone again!

Cars!

Who likes cars? I do! I particularly like Volkwagen's. I currently own a 2001.5 Passat Variant (Wagon) and a 2002 GTI (337 Version). I have found a TON great websites that cater to the VW crowd. Some of my favorites: www.vwvortex.com, www.passatworld.com, www.parts4vws.com & www.worldimpex.com. Oh yeah, forgot to mention www.vw.com!

Google Reader

For those of you who spend time online and haven't got a Google account, do it! It's free and there are a ton of cool features. I really like Google Reader. My favorite thing to follow on it are the new posts from Make:. If you are like me and like gadgets and creativity, this is something you should check out.

Tattoos

Well, I am considering a half-sleeve tattoo on my right arm. I kind of know what I want, but I am a little picky. Having a little bit of an artistic side I am very particular on what I put on paper (detail wise), so am having a hard time deciding on all of the elements. I know that depending on the tattoo artist you decide to go with, you have to give them artistic license to create. But, I am not going to be very happy if ink isn't exactly what I want. I do not want to have any regrets when it comes to this!

Sci-Fi

Well, I have been reading a lot of Sci-Fi lately. Right now I am reading Zoe's Tale by John Scalzi. I've already read Old Man's War and The Ghost Brigades by him. Great books!. I am also reading a series of books by John Ringo. I guess you could call them military Sci-Fi themed. So far I've read A Hymn Before Battle and Gust Front, and am now reading When the Devil Dances. Another great author and series!
Just caught a cool viral advertising thing last night on TV. Have you heard of the movie D-9? During MadTV last night there was an ad for D-9 and it said to call 1-866-666-6001 to report any non-human sightings. The recording was done very well and is a little creepy. Check it out!

Motorcycles


I am almost done adding things to my 2006 Triumph Sprint ST (ABS). So far the things that I have added or changed are: Trident Exhaust System, Speedo Healer, 18 tooth front sprocket, LED turn signals, homemade axle sliders, LSL handlebar riser kit, Throttlemeister, HID headlight conversion, Corbin Gunfight & Lady seat, Michelin Pilot Power Pro tires (2CT), Stebel Compact Nautilis horn, helmet lock, Ventura headlight protector, RKA tankbag, Autocom electronics and MRA double bubble windscreen.
My favorite website for info on my bike is www.triumphrat.net. There is a great community of Triumph fans here, with loads of helpful information.

Music

Just finished watching several Dream Academy videos on YouTube. What a shame that they were more successful, each one of the performers are talented musicians. Sugarland's version of "Life in a Northern Town" is done very well.
