I want to build a race car. Convertibles are counter productive to this goal.
... Aren't most third generation Camaro's OLDER?
About the same age, but as I live in America an American car is much cheaper to maintain. Also, having worked on a large section of Japanese, American, and European cars, I'd take a American over any of them to work on. Much more user friendly when they need to be fixed.
So that's why Ctrl+F didn't find 'Layland'. Crazy Aussies, then again, the Brits do the same with Vauxhall. * thinks it's a stupid name.
*Facepalm* Sorry, Typo.
Oh, BTW - I am now employed, though I still have to make it through the probationary period. Minor w00t, bigger w00t to come when I have the job ironclad.
So, I'm leaving in two days. I finished up the work I needed to do at the office, revamped the internal wiki (so people will actually start to use it), and documented the servers under my control. I gave my drugs away to friends (as I can't take ganja on the plane), and sold/gave away my furniture. Today I'm going to buy some shirts (and hopefully find a nice overcoat), then tonight is my going-away party. I feel accomplished.

Awesome! Good luck with that.
I looked at the Camaro I was thinking of buying. It's beat up and definitely showing it's 20 years, but it drove really well so I think I'm going to get it. The automatic is at the end of its life, but I wanted to swap a manual anyway.
Mostly however, it has T-tops, and T-tops are awesome!
Wait a sec. So you were in Rochacha for a year, you moved back, and now are you going back to Rochacha? RIT? What's going on dude =p
I moved to Rochacha to establish residency for NY aid, move away from my parents (and not be considered a dependent), and because it's cheaper to live and I had a job offer. Well, that offer fell through, I had a string of bad luck, and had to move back to the west to find a job. Now that I have a job I can work at from home (i.e. I can do it on the East Coast), I can afford to live in Rochester as well as go to school (RIT basically offered me a full ride, minus $1-2k).
My plane leaves tonight. I'm gonna stay in NYC until the 30th, then drive up to Rochester.
I accidentaly a competition from Thinkgeek. I won a 42 Ringer shirt, a Disaster Area Shirt, and a 42 Towel. Hell of a way to wake up - my phone was going off with the direct message from the thinkgeek twitter, saying I'd won - I followed them before bed on a whim!
I previously posted in the Fail of Your Day thread that my beer had not fermented at all in the 19 days that I expected it to take.
I came home today and found the airlock bubbling away furiously. Apparently, I really just needed to aerate the wort more thoroughly. The fermentation was so vigorous that some of the wort actually shot up into the airlock itself. So, I hope to have my Bitter Black Existence ready in about two weeks! Wewt!
Alex of the FRC came up with it. I cannot take credit for the greatness of "Pete's Bitter Black Existence," which is really oddly fitting when you think about it.
Classes are slow, so I am getting a jump start on the rest of the first week's reading. Yay for mental stimulation! Oh, how I have missed it.
You can get through about eighty five percent of law school if you can write persuasively about the concepts of reasonableness and notice. When I took the bar, there was a state-specific question about what should happen if a court clerk inadvertently mis-typed an indictment. Not knowing the specific Crim Pro Rule, I started writing about reasonableness and notice. After the test, I found that there was a Rule that said exactly the same thing that I wrote for my answer.
Today was a day that really changed my life as I realized a possible backup job should my aspirations of film crash and burn in a greasy, hellfire. Today I went sailing with a neighbor and my father, and I don't know how but I found that I learned how pretty quickly (my neighbor even commented on how amazingly fast I most of it). I steered the ship with surprisingly amazing skill for a novice who has only sailed twice in his life (I sailed the same time last year with the same people and yet I exhibited some promise). I might possibly want to consider getting into this hobby and maybe even building a boat. My neighbor was not sugarcoating it when he said that I could make a pretty good sailor someday if I kept at it.

+1 to awesome
Has their ever been a memorable, famous, or useful geeky sailor that isn't fictional?
Has their ever been a memorable, famous, or useful geeky sailor that isn't fictional (I'm of course referencing Horatio Hornblower)?
I don't really understand the question. In what way is Horatio Hornblower "geeky"?
That was sorta my fault because I was thinking of Horatio at the time I was writing it and I sorta just typed it without thinking due to the fact I was lost in my thoughts. What about the root question itself?
