I’m coming to you from the Boardwalk Resort at Disney World this evening, where we’ll be staying the night after an eventful and exciting day. The GTO is officially in my possession now, the Sport Appearance Package is installed and damn does it look amazing. The dealership did a great job installing all [...]

According to the phone call I got from the dealership today, the Sport Appearance Package installation has been completed, and my new car is ready for pickup! The only thing left to be done tomorrow is install the wheel locks I requested. So, I set about putting some plans in motion in an [...]

While I already announced the opening of the Oddball Update Photo Gallery, I wanted to take a moment to announce today that I’ve already re-done it. Yeah…I decided that the Flickr service wasn’t for me. I always had an aversion to off-site storage of photography (I like to keep everything in-house on my [...]

Last night Apple asked me if there was any way she could edit a comment she had just submitted to the site here. I told her that, unfortunately, there wasn’t. Only administrators can edit comments after they’re posted. But then I got to thinking, why wasn’t there such an ability? It [...]

I’ve added a few more of Friday’s GTO pictures to the photo gallery; they’re not the best shots but they do show some additional things!

The latest red-letter date (no, not November 5, 1955) in the history of my garage has been reached, and I’m now the owner of a new Pontiac GTO. I touched on it briefly the other day after I got home from the big adventure, but such momentous occasions deserve a more in-depth account, and [...]

It’s long overdue, but the Photo Gallery section of the Oddball Update has finally been launched. At the same time, I trashed the old photo integration system I had been using. It was transparent to my visitors, but it allowed me to drop pictures from my Coppermine gallery into posts. With the [...]

I am now, officially, a 2006 GTO owner. Even though the car is not here in my garage yet, it now belongs to me! (Well, and Bank of America.) After a painfully long five months of waiting, today Apple and I drove up to Orlando and signed the paperwork on GTO order [...]

Dateline: January 12th, 2:57pm. My cell phone rings. It’s the Pontiac dealer. “Guess why I’m calling?” says Roger. My GTO has arrived, and they’ve just taken off the plastic wrap.
Holy shit, I’m hyperventilating.
More updates to follow. Gotta work on getting insurance coverage and squaring away all the other little issues. [...]

Splitting headache! Gah, I hate it.
Actually got some decent work done today, imagine that. Had a meeting w/the Google AdWords gurus at the office. Got a press release posted and distributed on the various industry sites. Then tonight, I put back online — yes, back online — the personal photography site [...]
