This is the story of how I tried Gatorade Recover, "strawberry kiwi" flavor.  In short, this is the worst liquid I have ever had the unfortunate experience of drinking.  If you feel like you need to know more, read on.

 I got bored on the train...

 About a year ago, prototype artwork for "Pepsi Throwback" and "Mountain Dew Throwback" were released online.  They were awesome looking, and "Made With Real Sugar!"  See below:

The design was changed before the final product was released, which can be seen here:

 Well, kind of.  I'd still rather have a 370z or a Camaro.  But, if I were to get a Mustang, I think I'd actually need to get the V6 model.  Long the realm of poseurs, the V6 is actually starting to look pretty freaking awesome.  Check out these new stats from the press release:

• For 2011, Mustang makes sports coupe news with a new high-performance, all-aluminum Duratec® 3.7-liter DOHC Ti-VCT V-6 that delivers 305 horsepower and an expected best-in-class 30 mpg highway with six-speed automatic transmission – no other vehicle in the industry can beat that combination
• Six-speed transmissions – manual and automatic – combine with newly standard limited-slip differential and revised suspension for road-carving driving dynamics and handling
• Mustang buyers choosing the new V-6 will also get a standard limited-slip differential that provides better handling and more sure-footed grip in poor weather conditions by directing engine torque to the rear wheel with the most traction. When the time comes to slow things down, the 2011 Mustang is also equipped with larger four-wheel ABS disc brakes, with 11.5 inch front and 11.8 inch rear rotors.

 As I'm sure that's what you are all currently asking yourselves, I'll answer.

Nanowrimo!  It's a month long November contest to write a 50,000 word or longer first draft of a novel.  Well, I guess it's not really a contest because you don't win anything.  But hey, I won!  I wrote 50,021 words and finished a few days early.  Needless to say, this took up all of my free time.  Editing it should take a bit less time (since luckily there is no nantional novel editing month, and I have as long as I want to edit it), and hence I'll have more time to post stuff here again.  Sorry to all my thousands of loyal readers out there, I will never disappoint you like this again (until next November).

"SuperFoam" is a creation of Rich Gilbert, and it's pretty awesome.  The concept is that you can design the foam structure to be more flexible in certain areas (by using larger or smaller spherical gaps) making a more comfortable seat, but I just like the look of it.  The construction is also really unique, using balloons, and what seems like RTV urethane to create the open cell structure.  Unfortunately, information is sparse so I can't be sure of the material.

Ahh The Onion, always funny, but usually just the headline/last sentence.  Not this time.  In fact, it actually makes a lot of valid points in its sarcasm.

 This is one of those "man, why didn't I think of that" moments.  I mean, it's just so simple and elegant: chain & weld your remote to a 1.5 foot long piece of crane rail (with an easy to carry handle on top!), and you won't lose it.  Truly genius.  The only thing that could make this better would be if it were a Logitech Harmony 1100 on the end of the chain.
