The toaster went on the dyno yesterday; after the intake was installed I got 84whp and 88lb/tq. Not bad, I am very happy with the intake, considering I gained 6hp, and 10lb/tq.

2. Geeks like to be self-sustaining. Let them figure things out on their [...]

Here are some pictures of the xB. They aren’t that great and it needed a bath very badly but it’s better than nothing.

Well I’ve had my 2006 xB sense last Friday and I am quite pleased. It is a change from my old daily driver, a 2001 Dodge Dakota, but a good change. I was impressed with the good mileage; I did lots of town driving, driving up to and around Olympia, and finally drove to Vancouver [...]

Well my hate for Opera is starting to fade. I have started to forgive it for crashing on me due to the ability to save session. Firefox doesn’t have this feature (yet), and when it comes it will be a very happy day. I am getting caught up on my blogging and reading, and finally [...]
