It's ALIVE!!!! - Updated with Picture

I can finally put away the lightning rods and stop sending Stevie to the brain repository. My car started and ran today. It only ran for about 10 seconds, then Stevie had to shut it off due to a major fuel leak. Gasoline spewing out under the hood is never a good thing. After I get the rest of the gremlins chased out, I'll post some final pictures.

Update 19-Aug:
Started, ran, set the timing everything is cool.

Okay, here is the picture:

It's not porn...

But it's a cow! Check out the newest T from Threadless:

Whaddo you think?

No more Beer & Pizza?

Gotta love Digg...


If you could choose between "Beer and Pizza" or "Porn and Pizza," which one would you choose? Decisions, decisions...

Hear Ye! (if ye be interested)

The 2007 MSA conference is officially over and quite a success. After about 16 hours in the car, I am home safely. Tomorrow the work starts! I need to update my CV because I got three requests for it! Two of the three, I am interested in the work and the location: even better! One is with Tom Horton at SUNY and the other is with Amy Rossman at USDA, Beltsville MD. I rocked my talk, after preparing it a few mere hours before giving it, and ended up making it into the final few to be decided upon for the graduate student talk! Ari was impressed, needless to say, and is interested in pursuing some different more ambitious projects for me before I am done. People seemed to come out of the woodwork with positive feedback for me. I even got invited to speak at The Field Museum in the future... all to say, the conference went very well. Oh and there was also beer and dancing and great food and beer and me educating the imports on the art of mojo and beer. I don't know where exactly this is taking me, but I do know that I feel confident. I spent a whole evening out with a group where a gentleman from the Field spent the evening attempting to convince me that a host of potential scientists would miss out if I chose not to research and train students.... I will keep you posted!

(sorry for no pics, my camera got lost in the humidity)

Now that's sexy...

I guess when you get old and married and stuff, "sexy" can mean more than just cleavage and hot pants. To Dave, it's a bright shiny air intake pipe on his car's engine (pic probably forthcoming). To me, it's a CLEAN office.

Dave and I made an "investment" in my busienss (and our collective sanity) and sprung for a new workbench and shelves for my office. Nich saw the trunk of my car when we came in town for the BBQ...my office had taken over my car. My creativity had run amok! :P

But now it's clean (relative term), and here is the proof:







I included the pic of Dave in his PJ's for the ladies. :) Now that's sexy (at least to me)!

All those years of Jimmy Buffett kareoke...

... and I never knew exactly how that third verse really felt until now. I am a changed man. =P

In response to Stevie's post...

Pornigami?
