1,000cc Thumper

I have a dream.  A 1,000cc thumper, capable of over 50hp and 50ft/lb of torque all at less than 6,000rpm.  This engine would be none other than half of a Harley Twin Cam engine with a 124″ kit.

Fuel injected thumps heard ’round the world, or at least ’round the block.

No Time

No time to spare.
Rush every day.
Things aren’t getting done.
Fret yourself to sleep.

Make the time.
Slow your steps down.
Things will get done.
Time to go to sleep.

I want the new Kindle 3

I’ve been thinking about getting a netbook or iPad to be able to check emails, read forums and post on my blog.  But I’m cheap.  And I want something durable, easy on electricity and still functional.  Enter the Kindle 3.  At a price of only $139 it has a grayscale screen and battery life of over 1 month, that’s right, a whole MONTH!  It can browse the internet, read pdfs and of course ebooks with ease.  I hadn’t ever gotten into the whole ebook thing, and probably never will entirely since I like “real” books made of paper.  But there is a Starcraft novel that only comes as an ebook and I would love to read it without having to sit at my computer all the time.

Maybe it’s finally time for a Kindle.

The Mondays

I’m having a severe case of “The Mondays.”  All kinds of issues at work, it’s raining, I still have a cough and I just want to crawl under a rock and go to sleep till Tuesday.

SSGuitar.com now on my webspace!

In 2006 I launched SSGuitar.com with the help of my friend Chris Mroz who provided tech support for me as well as the webspace to host the project.  It is a forum-based website focused on constructing, repairing and developing solid state guitar amplifiers.  The community has grown to over 2,500 members and we have an average of over 10 new posts every day.  It is still a fledgling site, but is coming along nicely and I plan on pushing it farther this fall and into winter when our peak posting time hits.

Last week I finished the transfer with Chris and SSGuitar.com now resides on my own webspace and is solely owned and operated by yours truly.

Be on the lookout for more SSGuitar updates as things move forward!
