Well, Tuesday night’s update—the first in quite some time—sure turned into a rant unleashed from the gates of Hell, didn’t it? That’s akin to how “Classic Oddball” always used to work; I wouldn’t write an entry for months, then the next six pages are me SCREAMING IN ALL CAPS (and making liberal use of [...]

Took my Trans Am to the dealer yesterday morning. I guess I’m a glutton for punishment, because that’s all I ever seem to get from visiting the local Pontiac dealers. I wouldn’t keep going there, but GM will not honor the terms of their extended warranties (or factory warranties for that matter) unless [...]

Seems that GM has made another blunder that may result in a costly recall. Ever since the newly-redesigned 2004 Grand Prix went on sale a year ago, there’s been a software bug lurking in the depths of the car’s in-dash information display center. Apparently, the PMD engineers forgot that 2004 was a leap [...]

Found this on another message board:
After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a gripe sheet, which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground [...]

Okay, I’ve got $340 bucks to my name (after paying off the new monitor, that is) and I am hoping to pour every last cent of it into FIXING, once and for all, the injector leak on the Formula. This crap has got to stop.
Yes, obviously it must be an injector leak. There [...]

It was certainly an interesting ride home from work today, although it began as any other 5:30 commute. Traffic was pretty shitty mostly thanks to large trucks and slow-driving fogeys in conversion vans with cellphones attached to their heads. I snaked through the mess and took my usual sidestreet shortcut through an industrial [...]

Saw this at Village Ford’s website:
2004 Mustang Mach IMSRP: $30,105.00A-Plan Price: $26,613.00
That’s a savings of nearly $3500!
I’d like to thank my grandmother for many years of hard work at Ford Motor Company.

I was visiting a gaming message board yesterday, and some people were talking about Unreal Tournament 2004—mostly giddily proclaiming that their pre-ordered copies were on the way, posting screenshots of their FedEx tracking reports and all that other silliness. But there were some substantive posts too, discussing the features of the game, and these [...]

Looks like winter isn’t over yet for you Michigan residents. This afternoon, my dad took this photo of his car out in the parking lot:

Hey, can we get winter over with, already?

One thing is for sure, I certainly don’t envy anybody in southeast Michigan [...]

The second installment in my impromptu Retro Gaming Month commentary features Blood II: The Chosen, one of the premiere games running on Monolith Productions’ brand-new LithTech Technology in 1998. The first game I remember playing from this development team was Blood, the original, in approximately 1996 sometime. Running on the Build engine (of [...]
