Vans Custom

I will wear holes in these next summer.

Can it stop the little bastards from texting and driving?

Ford has developed a way for parents to have more control over their child's driving habits. I personally don't have children, but I would certainly like to have this feature added to my child's first car. Heck I wouldn't mind having this feature for my car right now. I hate to sound like a nerd, but this is a great step in safety.

MyKey, which debuts next year as a standard feature on the 2010 Ford Focus, lets parents program speed and audio volume limits. When the MyKey is put into the ignition, the system reads the transponder chip in the key and immediately enables certain default driving modes.

Ford’s Beltminder chimes at regular intervals and the audio system is muted until your kid clicks their seat belt. the speed limit can be limited to 80 mph , a speed alert chimes at 45, 55 or 65 mph, traction control system, which limits tire spin, cannot be deactivated , and stereo volume can be topped off at 44 percent of total volume.

All Day I Dream About SNEAKERS

The folks over at Lifelounge have teamed up with Adidas to publish a limited edition book featuring sneakers as art. Check it out.

Spelunking with the Cave Singers

The Cave Singers have been my most listened to band as of late. I'd call it a cross between Cold War Kids and Conor Oberst. Check it out for yourself.

If it ain't broke..

Mizzou shit the bed Saturday. I blame Chase

He shose the wrong week to change things up. I understand wearing AO's number, it's a great tribute, but why not do that against Nevada? Why would you change your jersey for your second conference game?

I don't even think I need to elaborate on the ridiculousness of the faux-hawl and pencil thin mustache.

Although I was definitely disappointed in the game, I'm confident EVERYONE will show up in Austin for gameday. This is a season making or breaking game.

If Only They Had This For Texting....

Just a quick post to mention a silly (or is it?) experiment that Google has released to the public: Mail Goggles. This feature is designed to prevent you from sending stupid e-mails in the small hours, when you're most likely to be inebriated and at risk of making a complete idiot of yourself.




Don't drink and e-mail.

When enabled, Mail Goggles kicks in at the time you specify (default is between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. on Friday and Saturday), and throws five math problems up on the screen when you press "send." You have a limited period of time to solve them. If you can answer the questions, presumably you're of mind sound enough to tell off your boss, or pour your heart out to your ex-lover.

If you can solve simple math problems even when under the table, there's an option to ramp up the difficulty of the questions, but sadly they remain in the mathematical realm and don't drift into interesting algebra or calculus.

To activate Mail Goggles, go into Gmail's settings, and turn on Mail Goggles in the "Labs" tab. Then adjust how and when it works in the "General" tab.

Seriously? I'm hoping this feature shows up on cell phones

I can see Alaska from my house...

I've been keeping up on the Sarah Palin news purely for entertainment purposes. If you watched the VP debate last week, you might just piss your pants watcing this
