Only a year after buying a 2010 Camaro 2SS — otherwise known as the Transformers Bumblebee, I’ve done it again. Click here to check out the screen used 1975 Dodge Tradesman Van — otherwise known as Uncle Rico’s Van. Yes, the real van. Uncle Rico not included (provide your own).

I’m attempting to get all of the data off my old MFM hard drives which date back to 1983 through 1985. There’s literally an inch of dust caked into these things, but that’s not what’s really annoying. The computer these run on is a Texas Instruments Professional Computer (TIPC). Never heard of it? They never […]

My work laptop automatically receives updates to do little things to itself (that’s what she said) at odd times. Install something new here, update this, patch that… and all of these things usually conclude with the laptop rebooting itself without my approval.

Here’s a shocker. It’s actually gotten slightly cheaper to be a Texas property owner. I’m not sure how this happened, exactly. I was comparing the taxes I just paid earlier this week (which are due today) and discovered things weren’t as unreasonable as I’d foreseen. This is a lot of cash, of course, which I […]

Did you know that I have a DeLorean time machine for rent? Well, now I have a web site to get that point across. It’s a little rough around the edges at the moment, but I’m building up the additional pages. Nice! In other news… the marching band season is over, although I have to […]

In case you didn’t know about my 1989 Keaton Batmobile Replica, the G4TV network clued everyone in on it in a short piece they aired yesterday on their program ”Attack of the Show.” Want to see? Here’s a clip!
