Today we lost a great up and coming talent in the motorcycle racing world. Shoya Tomizawa lost his life at today’s Moto2 race at Misano. You can read more about the accident at Autosport. There is video online, but I don’t have the heart to post it.
He was only 19 years old.
You will be missed.
Creeping Out Sara & Eddie, Bruce and Paul
These two songs are strangely awesome. Creeping Out Sara is about Tegan and Sara who I happen to like quite a bit. Eddie, Bruce and Paul is about Iron Maiden which I grew up on and still love. Interesting to me that these ended up [...]
Read a super short blog post over at Jalopnik and it made me think of my two Grandpas.
The Jalopnik blog post, if you read it, refereed to the manliest men blah blah blah. In the comments people posted some Grandpa stories. I guess these in mine.
I never met my Dad’s father, he passed [...]
United States Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger meets Felix Baumgartner
Do yourself a favor and watch this fullscreen:
In strange way I hope it helps people realize how hard we (The United States of America) worked to achieve space flight and how hard it really still is. We made it look easy after a while. [...]

Now assuming all is well this should post and below you should see a photo of a failed hard drive. We’ll see.
Update: [...]
French maids serving you lunch in a Japanese cos-play themed art gallery meets cafe meets retail store … what could be more fun!
The beautiful faux foliage exterior of Royal/T.
You might be asking yourself what would bring me here besides my love of art and all things Japanese, well it was my sister’s birthday! Technically [...]
It’s true! I swear!
Well sorta, busy/lazy/facebook … whatever the cause of things have been for my lameness around my little corner of the blogosphere, feh. Like I often say when things get slow around here … “That’s gonna change soon!” But let’s face facts, it’s not gonna change all that much. [...]
Actor, racer, and philanthropist
Paul Newman passed today after a battle with cancer. Most know him best as an actor. Not me. While I knew he was an actor it was as race car driver and team owner that I became familiar with his work. Rest in peace Mr. Newman, you shall [...]

Wow, could this be the first timely post here in a while? It is.

Things got cobbled [...]
