Dad and I love going to the drag races at Bandimere Speedway up in Morrison, Colorado. I always get a seat as close to the starting line as possible to can get the full force of the heat, smoke and tire particles. It's crazy the amount of time and money those guys spend just to have the fastest car! Now imagine that you lose a race and you lose your car. That's the premise behind the most-watched weekly series on SPEED television, PINKS.
SPEEDtv is airing an all day marathon of PINKS followed by premiere of PINKS All Out on Thanksgiving Day, Thursday November 23rd. You can also go to SPEEDtv's site and check out the Drag Racing Clips and photos posted there.
I really hate crooks on the internet. You know the ones. They think just because you post something online, it's theirs for taking to do with as they please. Every once in a while, I need a cute little graphic for a post and don't have the time to make one myself. One site that I used to go to to grab and appropriate graphic was http://www.graphicgarden.com/">Graphic Garden (and I always either gave a text link or hyperlinked the graphic itself for credit). I popped over there yesterday because I wanted a cute little graphic for my sticky Christmas card post and she's taken all but two of her free sets down. Here's why she is no longer offering very many free graphics:
Sadly, I have had to remove the free websets from the site. Every single day I get reports about clipart galleries spreading my graphics, people selling them on eBay etc.. There are even companies in Mexico and Taiwan massproducing and exporting stickers, stationery and other products!
That is such a shame. I will have to get myself a CD or download some of her graphics once I'm employed again. She really does do some wonderful work.
Nope, no muscles here. There might have been if Marcus would've let me write on his arm, but you're stuck with mine. There will be plenty of muscle the day after Thanksgiving, though — Muscle Cars, that is! SPEEDtv is airing their Muscle Car Marathon on Friday, November 24th at 9am EST. I've always wanted a 1970 Yellow Mach 1 Mustang. They sure don't make cool cars like that anymore! Check it out. It's going to be more fun than fighting the malls on Black Friday!
I meant to write about this last night, but Dave W. stopped by visit and took me to dinner. Someone left a bomb that exploded on the Ebay/Paypal campus in San Jose, CA. That's crazy that nobody is giving a reason for the bomb. I wonder what the perpetrator's beef with Ebay or Paypal is?
EBay shut down its North San Jose campus on Wednesday, clearing the way for bomb-sniffing dogs and investigators, who still don't know who planted a powerful explosive that blew out a window and forced more than 1,900 employees to work elsewhere.
Nobody was injured in the Halloween night blast -- and other Silicon Valley companies were not put on alert. EBay expected Thursday morning to reopen the campus that also houses some of its PayPal operations.
The company received no threats before or after the blast, which happened about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday in a landscaped breezeway outside the 100,000 square-foot, four-story building.
