Atlanta Hates Us

Lots of great footage over at Atlanta Hates Us.. Check it out. I'm sitting in Austin right now, about to fall over from lack of sleep. Good times.

The power of Twitter

I am completely shocked by this. At the same time, it shows how powerful social networking really is.

How do you feel about it?

Hello

First off, I really hate that things like this are going on in the world. Sad..... Funny the way it is..

I'm really tired of this economy. I'm tired of so many of my friends loosing their jobs.... I'm tired of the housing market, and I'm tired of worrying.

Oh, I admit it.... I tend to use Twitter more now than blogging...... You can follow me here.

Other than that, no news is good news....

The end of the blog

I tend to agree with this article. I find myself blogging less and less these days due to twitter. What do you think?

What Can Twitter Do for You?

"Whenever I start a conversation about Twitter with someone who doesn't use it -- or who tried it, but never got beyond the inane act of twittering some insignificant detail of his daily life -- I get eye rolls, throat clearing and other signals that suggest I should change the subject."

It's an interesting read.

Nice ramp!

I am amazed at how many ramps are popping up around Atlanta. Yo Bunch, we need to get on this!

You and Your Browser

What makes a good browser? And, what the the heck is a browser to begin with? This video explores these fundamental questions and provides some warm and fuzzy answers. Awesome.

If you like classic VW stuff

Then follow ClassicVWBeetle on Twitter. I am amazed at all the great classics for sale. Maybe I could use another? :)

The End of Ad Agencies as We Know Them

This is a very interesting article I ran across...

"Do we really need advertising agencies anymore? Are we witnessing the great "reboot" of the advertising industry hastened (but not caused) by the current recession?"

Check it out..

Is it for sale?

I ran across this site earlier.. I have to totally agree with his comments.. If someone asked me if I were going to sell my 67 VW, I would probably say the same thing...

"Nice car! Is it for sale?"

"Well, sure it is for sale, everything has it’s price"

"How much are you asking?"

"Well, it’ll cost you $11,312 in cash, plus you’ll need to give me 8 years of your spare time, roughly 6 hours per week, I’d say. After that there is another 2 hours per week of time in front of the PC, surfing vendor sites and asking questions on newsgroups. Then I’ll need another $233.17 for long distance phone charges to parts suppliers and private sellers, gas to and from VW shows, parts I broke and wrong parts that I ordered (but you can have those, I saved them). You will also need to fix the broken window in the garage and assorted other damage from flying tools. You will have to get the acetone burns off the kitchen table and those grease stains off the new family room carpet (near the fireplace)."

1956 Karmann Kabriolet Beetle, Restored

This is pretty amazing....

"Here's an excellent example of timeless styling, a very tastefully executed Oval window era Convertible Beetle. This car underwent a comprehensive professional restoration a handful of years and very few miles back and still displays wonderfully as the many pics will show. Rest assured, a great deal of care and money were spent to bring this early Karmann to this head turning and enjoyable condition."

Facebook and your Grandpa

An interesting article about Facebook.

"When your 88-year-old grandfather sends a request to be your "friend" on Facebook, you have two choices: Either confirm it, then quickly take down all those party pictures you thought were so funny, or plan on never coming home for the holidays."

True Hip-Hop Stories

This is simply amazing and real. And, another reason the web is such a great canvas for good ideas. It’s people like D-Nice I have a ton of respect for. He is out there capturing reality.

“This is the story of a homeless rapper I met on the streets of Brooklyn. I feel for him because it's quite obvious he suffered a great deal as a child. I don't agree with how he lived his life but everyone deserves to be forgiven.” -D-Nice

SNOW in Atlanta?

Its ok, I thought the same thing.. But it sure was fun!
