Rav 4

I'm trying to get a new (used) car to replace my truck which is wayyy too bad on gas, especially since I hear that gas will reach $1.50 this summer. My first choice is a RAV4, which is basically the best bigger car for fuel economy out there minus hybrids. I've been searching for a while and found the exact car I want, but its in North Bay. Its a 97 RAV4, standard tranny, cause I miss having to shift. Here's a photo:



I have people checking this car out to see if its possible to get. I'll post my own photos if I ever get one!

Today's Links

Here's a strange one. There is a company selling new seats for motorcycles that contain a EMF shield. This 'shield' protects the rider from the little bit of EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) that is emitted from the bike. Can you say paranoid? Makes sense when you read that he also wrote a book called "MOTORCYCLE CANCER? Are motorcycles KILLING US with cancers of the prostate, colon, kidney, bone, etc?". Wow. Story Here.

Google has a cool app called Reader that I found today. Its an online feed reader/updater. Works pretty well and looks good from my first attempt at trying to use it. Could be alot better if they came up with a Firefox addon to make it even more accessible. Start reading here.

And now for just funny, check out this little clip from Bollywood. A ripoff from the matrix maybe? Naw, couldn't be.
YouTube it up.

Rock Paper Scissors!!!

So last weekend Dani and I got the chance to go with Nathan and Rachel to Toronto to watch the Rock Paper Scissors World Championships. Needless to say I had never even heard of this until the week before, but it sounded great so we went to watch. Nathan signed up to compete with the other 400 or so people there. I was surprised at how insanely people get into the game. We had full costumes, people protecting their playing hands, and angry people who lost. Nathan dressed up as dynamite, which was actually not even the strangest costume.
Nathan rocked(pun intended) the first 3 rounds and actually made it to the top 16 finals and got to play on the main stage with world champions. He unfortunately got pounded in the first round of 16 people, but he WAS goign against the top people in the world....haha
Anyway, here are some photos from it. Nathan's post and more photos can be found on his website, www.nathancolquhoun.com.


You can see the fear in his eyes.




This is Erin playing (and beating) one of the judges.





Nathan playing the dreaded pirate. Nathan lost i think.







The final round.

The Gorilla

This is a brilliant video from 'Glass and a Half Full Productions'. Such emotion in it. You can just feel the mood of the gorilla. Watch it for the full effect.
