Here are some photos of the new car:
Ain’t she a beaut?

She also loves tennis balls.
Om nom nom nom.
Any suggestions on how to improve my work environment to stop this pain?
]]>I know you have a window to get your license/registration/inspection with a new car. Does the same thing apply to the auto insurance?
Update (5/30/2009): For those curious, you do need auto insurance to sign any paperwork and to get the car registered through the DMV. It can, however, be purchased the same day you buy your car.

Both types of cattle show evidence of natural selection in genes that appear to be involved in making the animals—large, horned and potentially dangerous—docile. In some breeds, specific variants of behavior-related genes are “fixed,” or seen in essentially every animal. Curiously, some of those genes are in regions that in the human genome seem to be involved in autism, brain development and mental retardation.
This is especially interesting after reading Dr. Temple Grandin’s Thinking In Pictures. Dr. Temple Grandin is a high-functioning autistic famous for her work as a consultant to the livestock industry in animal behavior. She has long expressed that she relates more with cows than other people.
I find the possible correlation between her special relationship with cows and these similar autistic gene findings very intriguing.

]]>Here’s a teaser. This is a million dollars:
Yep, that’s it.
A trillion dollars is a lot more impressive, check it out yourself. It really puts this bailout in perspective.
]]>I believe we’re bailing out major corporations with money that doesn’t really exist. Just like the problem that got us into this mess in the first place, our government is going into debt inventing dollars to save our banks, automotive industry, unaffordable mortgages, etc.
Our government is getting itself further in debt with money that doesn’t exist. That doesn’t bother anyone else?
Update: Crazy On Tap sums up my position nicely:
]]>its like schroendingers cat, nobody officially knows whether the money exists or not until the moment I actually have to pay it out. when the moment comes, suddenly the waveform collapses and we can all see the truth.
the banks, finance companies and investment funds and other lunatic organisations have created *trillions* of dollars worth of of imaginary money, and the government is attempting to ensure that the moment at which the waveform collapses never happens, and they are trying to do this by *pretending that the imaginary money is real*
this will cost them billions upon billions upon billions of dollars and it *will* ultimately fail simply because of the sheer amount of imaginary money created.
Is it money from China? Are my taxes going to be raised? Is the Fed going to print new money? Is it imaginary?
I’m looking for some enlightenment.
]]>Right now the page isn’t anything exciting, just a consolidation of this weblog and my Twitter. Anyone have experience with Tumblr and suggestions on what else I might want to toss in there?
