Muppet singing Ode to Joy...I thought it was funny

Wow! Ford quality is now equal to Toyota...

VS




What an embarrassment! I just saw a Ford car commercial and they think it's great to advertise that the quality of their cars are now equal to that of Toyota -- I think I'd keep that to myself if I were Ford.

Basically, they're saying, "Hey world, we started this whole mass produced car thing and have had all these years to be better than everyone else...we convinced everyone for awhile that we were the only\best choice, thus quality could drop and sales wouldn't...then a foreign country, Japan, comes into the industry and soon becomes known as the best quality car, or at least better than us...and then we needed to catch up to them, because American's were buying more of their cars than ours...and now we have, so buy our cars again."

I downloaded this photo the other day...

and my wife posted it to her blog, thinking she had downloaded it :P

I decided that I would still post it, because it's so cute.

Quick video of me changing the tire of our Kia Spectra

My wife came home from work with a flat tire...It was in the upper 90's, a very hot day, but it had to be changed. And, since this would be my first maintenance on the new car...I figured I'd record it.

Do you really save money by buying gas @ $4.15 vs. $4.19

At first thought, paying $4.15 vs $4.19 a gallon for gas sounds like the best deal...But, how much further do you have to drive to get that price? And, since the price may be the lowest in that area...will the station be crowded, causing you to wait in line (most likely while your engine is running)?

So, let's say your car needs 10 gallons to fill up. If you decide to drive to the other station for the better deal, you save 4 cents per gallon...totaling a whopping 40 cents savings. Hmmm, is it really worth it?

I'd say no...but, that's me. Your thoughts?

Funny and Sad...Geek Action Figures

I came across these action figures today and just thought it was so funny to think of "Leonardo DaVinci", "Albert Einstein", and "Benjamin Franklin" as Action Figures. Then, I also thought it was sad that I thought it was funny -- Because these guys were actual men of ACTION, and they should really be someone kids should look up to.

But, reality will most likely prove that modern fantasy heroes, like Spiderman and Batman etc., will be the action figures that our kids desire to have in their toy box.

Racism isn't dead in America

A booth at this weekend’s Texas Republican convention

sold buttons asking, “If Obama Is President…Will We Still Call It The White House?”:

This makes me sick! When will it end?

My wife and I are 30% compatible...

The 2008 Presidential Election

Does anyone else think it's sad...that in this day and age we're considering it a momentous event that a black man or a woman may actually become president. Come on how racist and sexist are we still???

Two qualified people are running for president -- One happens to be a black man and the other is a white woman...Oooo, heaven forbid that someday a black woman applies for the job. I think it's time we stop making a big deal out of things like this and remember we're all brother's and sister's in the same earth family...We're all capable of doing whatever we want, no matter our color, race or sex.
