meatballs

Some of the work I do involves techy topics like open source and music players and DRM, so I sometimes come across some entertaining or interesting stuff. I started to read this but didn't finish, but want to go back to it at some point and read the rest. Pretty funny in some parts, especially the part where he says:

Sony is the oafish guy at the party who is parked in front of the meatballs tray eating directly from the dish.

mmm, meatballs sounds good right now.

Wow, another year goes by and it's time to celebrate the third anniversary of our wedding. Where's that coupon for Black Angus that came in the mail? :D
Just kidding. This year V. and I are going to be enjoying a quiet dinner at home since it's a weekday. We've got dinners and lunches with the family this coming weekend and we have our much-anticipated vacation trip to Miami and the Caribbean coming up in 2 weeks (more on that soon) so we'll no doubt have plenty of nights out on the town.

Happy Anniversary Honey! Where's my gift this year?

Colin McRae dies in helicopter crash

Colin's 2006 crowd-pleaser

Motorsports is an inherently dangerous activity, but it's always sad when a racer loses their life participating in that sport. It's somewhat ironic, however, when a racer meets their fate off the racetrack. Former World Rally Champion, and highly successful racer Colin McRae apparently crashed his helicopter not far from his home. Making it even more tragic is that his 5-year old son Johnny and 2 other passengers were also aboard and were also killed. No doubt a good portion of the motorsports community is saddened and affected by this loss, and my thoughts go out to McRae's family.

Colin's most memorable recent high-profile appearance was in the X-Games rally event. In the 2006 event he wowed the stadium crowd with an amazing flip and roll 2nd place finish that made news all over the world and pumped up viewer interest in the sport of rallying like no one else could. RIP, Colin.
