August 2006 Entries
So I got a new car this weekend. A 2006 Mazda 6. I love it. Leather, navigation, 18in rims, speedy and better mileage than my truck. The radio is a bit weird, I wish the display was bigger or displayed on the nav lcd. But it is still cool. I love driving it. I'm already looking into adding a cold air intake. Maybe some other things as soon as I find some Mazda forums to read about what other people have done. Later I'll look into modding the navigation software and see if it's possible.
This deivce looks cool. Looks kind of big though. I'm wondering when they are going to be in the same unit though. I thought I read somewhere that they can check glucose without blood, but I'm not sure. Hmm seems to be some things out there like that...http://www.spectrx.com/cgms.asp. My dads is some what smaller. I was amazed when I first saw his. I thought he had permanent tubes or a needle constantly in his stomach. But it is just a rubber hose that is in there, a needle like device shoots it into stomach. Kinda weird.
Why dwell on things like this... http://www.treehugger.com/files/2006/08/the_ronald_mchu.php Who cares what McDonald's sells in their Happy meal. And then in the comments ignorant statements like "driving hummers supports questionable regimes" Please. Apparently they don't know where we get most of your oil from. Here too. I hate that argument, it is so ignorant. Trying to appeal to patriotism.And yet again with the crazy talk...http://www.hugg.com/story/ooops-there-goes-another-rubber-tree-plant/
Well I don't have a new one yet. I kind of did a total turn around after driving the Compass. Slooowwww. Not too bad though. I wish it had a navigation option. Every car should have that option, why make me upgrade? I started leaning towards the Honda Civic. With navigation of course, but it has no leather option. Apparently I could get it installed after market. I had two different Honda dealers pricemy truck as trade in....Crap of course. They tried to way undercut me. I laughed at them. To bad I don't have any leverage since they are...
So I started posting over at www.hugg.com. A neat Digg like site for environmental stuff. Well I've come to realize that many environmentalists are complete freaks and conspiracy nut jobs. No wonder why environmentalists are thought of in a bad light. Well generally speaking. Take this post on Hugg... http://www.hugg.com/story/Chemtrails-Climate-Control-Conspiracy/ WTF? contrails are now chemtrails? I suppose that is somewhat right. It does have some CO2 and NOx in it plus particulates. But I don't think that's what they mean. I think they are saying someone is dropping something from high altitudes down on us. Which to me doesn't...
I suppose Windows and Linux users and any other OS fans are just as bad. Look at this post:

I don't know or care if the internal card is vulnerable too. But all the rapid mac fans must state that they used a 3rd party device and its not Apples fault. Umm hello so what. Every PC is a third party device to Windows, Windows does not make hardware, well windows branded PC's at least. Yet if this were run on a windows machine everyone would be blaming Windows and Microsoft. Even Apple outsources their components.
In my opinion Apple make...
