Yesterday I was in a collision that destroyed my Hyundai Elantra of nearly a decade! It was a car i never planned on owning, but without which i cannot have imagined my life these past years. It is important to say at this time that i escaped relatively uninjured. I put a great deal of effort into this car. Shortly after i purchased it, i installed my first carputer. With the incredible help of BJ and his father Bill and a headless G4 laptop. I wanted to finally post these pictures now that it is all over and done. From prototype and preparation to wiring and construction. It was amazing and it was done years before the iPhone. Bill even welded me a custom bracket to make it all fit together securely.

Looks like Tomtom is getting into the street view game.
I saw this guy driving in Burbank. I wonder which products will benefit from this data? I wonder what other data is being gathered. cough cough. . google wifi scandle.
Wondercon 2015 Photos!
First time at Wondercon, I had a great time. Hilariously interesting panels, friendly people and amazing costumes. Food trucks for miles supplemented the usual con food. Similar to Comic Con in spirit, but not in scope. Wondercon lacked the sweltering crowds and with them, much of the lines. This more intimate setting afforded more direct fan interaction. I saw creators hugging fans and levels of joy and enthusiasm that could almost approximate wonder.
…And there were robots.
Throwback Thursday – Birthday Pajama Party with Cannibalism
This was Anne’s birthday from 2002. A PJ party at The Manse. I don’t exactly recall how we devolved into cannibalism. A good time was had by all (well, most anyhow).
The Pi Day of the Century!
I hope that you are doing something with circles to celebrate. I am enjoying the Exploratorium in San Francisco. Festivities start at 1pm.
My dad and his Performa 6500!
This priceless gem I found only recently. My father with his Apple Performa 6500. Not sure exactly when this was taken, but I love the Sherlock shirt he’s got on. This was half a dozen towers ago for him. Dad’s always loved technology. He got me started in all this. Thanks dad.
Parking in Santa Monica is serious
This is how I find my car after the vallet parkers have gone. What were they trying to do? What purpose does that chain serve? I may never know.
Got some wind!
This tree was blown down across Chandler Blvd. Torn out of the ground crushing both gate and Jeep.
Weinermobile spotted in North Hollywood!
Always a delight to see driving food.
