Bear with me…. I got a new toy. It is my new nokia 5800 Xpress Music cell phone. One thing cool is I can take pics with its 3.2 megapixel camera and then while on the go, upload directly from my phone to sites like Flickr! Here is a cool artsy kinda pic I took and uploaded the other evening. I used black and white and changed the contrast settings. To view more pics I have uploaded and will continue to upload, check out my flickr photostream, it is on the right side of the screen if you scroll WAY down… there you will find the most recent photos from my photostream.

I forwarded this to a the missionary’s in Haiti where I went on my mission trip… they said it was an awesome idea that they would look into. He said it even looks safer than the merry-go-round they have now. 🙂
Inclinometer for the jeep!

OK, first I gotta wait until the Nokia 5800 comes out (hopefully in Feb.). Then I will load this app to my phone, and put the phone in its mount on my dash for off roading!

Then, this one seems really useless, but maybe cool for a day when your doing lots of walking at a show or something to see how far you walked.

Get Amber alerts via text! FREE

Ok, this just seems like a no brainer that anyone and everyone that has a cell should sign up for. I just signed Lisa and I both up. Pretty simple, if a kid gets abducted, and they issue an Amber alert, then they text it to you.
Click here to sign up, it takes about 50 seconds, and they don’t sell your number to anyone.
No brainer if you have kids. Also, a no brainer if you don’t have kids. Of course, your regular text $ applies.

Also known as the NAIAS, held in Detroit every January, it the most rockin and latest metals from around the globe. I am going to keep the wordage short and sweet, and let the pics do the talkin’. My uncle Mark invited and took me up here, we had a great day together hanging out and drooling at all the shiny stuff.
JEEP! This is the vehicle that all vehicles should be judged by! (and will be for this review)
Rich mans "jeep". This is what you wheel if you have more money that brains. Its cool, but not for me.
This may have a jeep sticker, but is not a Jeep! I hope jeep is reading this, because that thing needs to be deleted from the line up. We need more locking axles, not cars.
Another wonderful example of what should have jeep stickers ripped off of it.
This is not a jeep, this is a Lambo, or also known as, just plain old badness. This drew ALOT of attention.
Another pic of a pure wicked speed machine.. cool... even when compared to a jeep.
That's my uncle mark in the blue, the other people are a special inside Chrysler/Dodge team that makes videos, commercials, and inside videos for dodge trucks. They interviewed him with a personally mounted mic for quite awhile!! They were telling me they were a big part of the commercial of the Dodge Truck Ram Challenge! They said he will likely be on a you-tube promo in a few weeks.. I will post again when I see it, they said they would e-mail me a link to post on this blog! Cool!
Name that guy! Hint: MTV!!! Click below link to see them pimp a stang in 4:30!! Mark and I watched in person, then rubbed shoulders with the big shots.
Ford Raptor! This is ultra trick... think factory truck in the Baja 1000.
Raptor guts.... rear end
What I would drive if I were cool. Vette's are just classic cool in a rich guy kinda way.
I am buying one of these! 4:1 transfer case, selectable lockers front and rear, pretty much unstoppable off road. I should take delivery of my pre-owned 4 door in approximately 10 years! LOL
Ever see that show "what not to wear" on TLC? Well, this pic describes "What not to drive, or buy, or take off road".... Unless you like boys! Yes, I am serious.
Same deal here folks... its just not a jeep.
Jeep, jeep hat, jeep sweatshirt. Yep.
This is an awesome piece of machinery. I can see my Cuz Todd driving this bad boy someday.
R8. Yep, that is the car from "that" movie! Anybody care to be the first to comment on what movie?
Dodge Circuit. Cool looking electric concept car.
Sweet rearend! That is pure Dana 44 action with an electric selectable locker in her! (in my jeep to be)
one more view of awesome.
The army recruiters were there, and brought a rock wall to climb. This is not the actual wall we climbed, but it was this same design. I jokingly said we should climb it. Next thing I knew we were in line! All I can say is, we are very fast climbers, and both hit the buzzers at the top in record time.
Well, there you go, that is my review of the NAIAS. Short and sweet (in words atleast). Hope you enjoyed. Love to here you comments, post em up.

NEW LCD TV for Christmas!
Posted in Daily Life, technology, tagged cabinet, Chainsaw, Christmas, Gary, LCD, Lisa, Samsung LA40A500T, survivorman, TV on December 12, 2008| 4 Comments »
So, I have an awesome boss. Gary got us a LCD TV for Christmas! It is a 40″ LCD Samsung. It rocks, and most importantly Lisa loves it… for real, I hardly ever watch TV. I am WAY more likely to be found wasting time on the web. Our old TV was slowly dying (anybody want a FREE 35″ TV that works most of the time and some of the time is black and white?) The only real problem was we could not find a new TV stand…. even the ones we did not like were several hundred bucks, AND were fake wood. So whats a man to do? Bust out the CHAINSAW!
OLD Tv Cabinet
Above is what the old $olid oak tv cabinet looked like before being chopped….
After the saw...
OK, really I didn’t chainsaw it… I called the master wood worker in the area… Jay Glon. He picked it up on Monday night and had it back here on Thursday. Now that is service… and as total bonus, Jay is to nice to charge what he should of, so he only wanted $50, but Lisa wouldn’t let him leave without less than $60! It looks better than any cabinet we saw, and its real wood! The TV looks sort of smallish in this pic, but it really fits our living room nice.
