The folks behind Japanoid.com are asking Canadian citizens to put pressure on their government to reconsider a proposed tweaking of the import law that would push back the limit from 15 years to 25 years. Confused? Right now, after 15 years a car is considered a “classic,” and not as heavily regulated as modern cars, […]

We’re thinking about spending some time in Berlin late this year. When we mention that, the first thing most people say is, “Of course! You and the beer!” Except that German beer, from my limited time in Germany, seems to have lost its way, as some of the more interesting and esoteric styles have been […]

I had just run away from home again and was staying in my best friend Mike’s parents’ basement. (You can see Mike and his half-fro at top-left.) We all worked at the local McDonalds. One of our managers was a girl who had moved from California to Kansas City, in sort of a reverse late-teens […]

The “Cutty Sark,” the famous 19th century clipper ship whose image graces the bottles of the lightly colored blended Scotch Whisky, caught on fire yesterday, an accident that “is expected to drastically increase the cost of a $50 million” restoration, to put it lightly. Fortunately the ongoing restoration meant that most of the historical pieces […]

Besides finding a great place to buy fasteners in bulk – like orders of 5,000 or more – we also ran across a new project planner that helps you visualize what a particular stain will look like on your furniture in a room with similar paint. We also checked out a breakout box that […]

You know we love our Deadliest Catch around here, so you can imagine my delight at this post on Fecal Face from Corey Arnold, who apparently was on the show, but is more notable for being a great photographer. He’s got his Alaska story online, how he made his way into the lucrative King Crab […]
