-I have an appreciation for industrial-influence design. It kind of branches from my love for Art Deco, but that's another story. Anyway, check out these pizza cutters.

-Attention Gmail junkies. There are some kewl little appz out there that help you to use one of your gazillion Gmail invites as a bonus device: a web drive, a journal, and text message forwarder and archive.

-And have you seen the new Eleanor?

I have seen that movie. And I loved it.

My daddy told me I was never allowed to drive a Ford, but I do like the Shelbys.

Auto-Erotic.

Oh, speaking of...

Have you seen the new Charger?

I wonder if my dad's classic Charger will be worth more now.

Yeah, I've seen it. I've also seen the two extra doors that Daimler thought would be a good idea.

"Hey, chief, let's make the new Charger a family sedan!"

"Great idea, Chet! Aging boomers can go retro with a big gas-guzzling Hemi and still get their grandkids to Chuck E. Cheese. Now go forth and alienate classic Charger fans everywhere."

In sum, I find it to be a spit in the face of Mopar-dom everywhere.



But that's just my two cents.

ha ha! That was funny.

So in essence you're saying that yes, my dad's CLASSIC Charger will be worth more?

I still want a 'cuda. Badly.

Damned right they are. That last one I'm all hot about. Looks like something Batman would have on his utility belt.

The phatboy one is funny...
speaking of industrial deisgn, there is this building on Tchoup that i am so in love with. It's up this end, close to Napolean. It's all silver and metal and boxy with bars on the windows and it's shiny....it's fucking awesome. I want to live in it. It looks like a fancy toolbox or something...

Industrial silver box? Where? I want to see it.

I keep telling myself I'm going to photograph all the Deco and Streamline buildings in town and build a website around it. It's on my priority list somewhere.

I'm surprised it hasn't caught your eye before. I'm really curious about whether it's a home or apartments or a business or what.
If you were headingdowntown on Tchoup from my house it would be on the right, ast Napolean. I forget how far past it but i think it comes up pretty soon after that intersection.

Hell, I may go look at it today and bring my camera.
