Dyson's Airblade in Chicago

Mike over at Chicago Carless found a gem at the Museum of Science and Industry, a Dyson Airblade hand dryer. For some reason I have been oddly intrigued by this thing since I first read about it.

Getting the Office Put Together

Getting ready for the baby means the rest of the house has to be organized too. That meant the office/my sanctuary had to be done before the deliver. Any day now btw.

These photos aren't the best but show how we set up the room with a dark brown chair/love seat which is also a pull out twin bed with a storage ottoman (filled with cd books). The desk we downsized greatly and I'm exercising the greatest organization with that ever. There is some clutter in one corner by the cabinet. That's going to storage soon. I haven't told the wife yet, but you can definitely chill on the sofa and watch DVDs (or webTV) on the computer quite nicely...

BMW 135i Review

My buddy Gabe at MotoringFile and now BimmerFile got to go do some early testing of what will surely be a highly prised city car, the BMW 1 Series.
Check out his review here.

And no, I haven't even driven one yet!

Some Snow Pictures

Shot last night and today. We have 8 inches out back. Couldn't get one car out this a.m. I'm officially tired of winter now.

Matt Cameron Fired Up For Barrack Obama

Finally, someone in Pearl Jam is doing something to support a mainstream presidential candidate. I never thought I’d see the day. Drummer Matt Cameron lays down the beat for a pretty jazzy song based around Obama’s “Fired Up, Ready to Go” chant, complete with gospel choir. Enjoy the video above and the making of video below and if you want you can download the MP3 here.
