Playing ‘Vidja Gamez’

I’ve been playing some Forza on Xbox. I figured I’d post up some pics of my Viper. Racing simulators are quite a bit of fun.

Not much more to say today. Another day, another dollar. I plan on generating my own electricity when in PR from the flow of the river. I can feed that into power conditioners and play videogames, watch movies and surf the web while being ‘green’.

Another day at the Office…Dreaming

I was doing some customer migrations from server to server and setting up scripts/troubleshooting them. All while listening to my Hector Lavoe library. It makes me think of the day when we can finally say that ‘this has all been wonderful, but now we are on our way’.

With the recent ‘economic crisis’ it has made me realize that I never wanted stocks. I want bananna trees, oranges, fresh water and I am starting to believe that less is more.

La Murga de Panama is a great song to dream to.

Though I doubt I will ever be in the street band of Panama, it sounds like I’d enjoy watching and drinking a cerveza.

Its a very stressful time to live in society and live up to its values.

Friday at the Racetrack

By BK
Instead of working on Friday a friend of mine that works on racecars invited me to go to the Pueblo Motorsports Park. I went with the intention that I’d get a ride in a pretty nice Z06 Corvette. At the end of the day I did. There really isn’t any way to describe how a 500+hp built for the track sportscar feels to ride in. Incredible doesn’t quite cover it. This car simply could not be used on the street…Well…It wouldn’t be even close to safe if you wanted to ‘see what she’d do’. We hit just over 160mph on the straight.

The race track is where performance is safe. This thing has a roll cage and racing seats with harnesses. Plus I had to wear a helmet.

Spend $70,000 on the car and strip out everything?


$500 per Tire and they are only good for 4 heat cycles. It doesn’t even matter how much wear is on them. You heat them up when you drive. Then stop to rest and they cool. 4 times….then they are considered used up.

All in all it was pretty fun. The ride made it all worth while and only cost me 1 vacation day at work. Plus the car owner bought everyone pizza.
