New Porsche GT1 supposed to "kill" the Veyron by 2MPH..too bad it doesn't look as good http://www.germancarzone.com/carrera-gt/6181-forthcoming-2009-porsche-gt1-pics-disscusion.html What do you guys think??

I have a bad reading habit. Most times I tend to pick up a book, start reading, I'll finish it without too much of a "time off." However there are a few that I have started and have taken a break from. Interestingly, I do seem to remember and ponder what's going on with the characters exactly at the place/time where I left them while I am off. There are some extreme examples.... The Stand: I left the troop of wanderers (not quite wanderers after all) stuck at mother Abigail's for about 1 month. So I wondered what where they up to, playing in the corn fields. Brother Odd: Left odd looking/following a bodach/beast (won't tell more so that I don't spoil) in the basemen…

Birthday's seem to run in batches around here, but this one is yours! Happy birthday to you. Have a great day.

Flying us to Dallas and back, along with a suite at the Gaylord texan hotel in Grapevine and seats in one of the Sky Box suites at the new Cowboys stadium for the Falcons/Cowboys game. Leave in the A.M. and get back Monday. GO FALCONS!!

I think you'll enjoy this. One of the better emails I've received in months.

Just in case anybody was watching.... We're all pretty happy around here today that my friend and former colleague Getty photographer Joe Raedle, AFP photographer Roberto Schmidt, and AFP reporter Dave Clark were released unharmed today after being captured by Libyan forces on Friday. Considering what a nasty place Libya has turned out to be (50-some attacks on journalists and a couple of fatalities in just a couple of weeks) and the circumstances of of Joe's going missing, which weren't auspicious, we were sweating it big time. We're pretty relieved. Welcome back Joe! http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/florida/fl-raedle-libya-20110322,0,1737314.story

Have a good one Adrian! Cheers!

Hope it's a good 'un!

Hope you have a fantastic day!

Have a phenomenal day!

Have a spectacular day!

If so could someone mail me a copy? I don't mind burning a few and sending them out to whoever wants one.

Have a good one!

I have a Canon EOS 40D and a 28-135 f3.5-5.6 IS lens. I have been asking around randomly and was looking at lenses today with the hope of finding the perfect lens for gear pics and use at meets. The question of whether it is better to get a macro or just a wide angle lens is not completely clear to me. Several people have 50mm f2.8 macro lenses and like those, and you can even go to f1.4 with a new Sigma lens, but I think I still want it to be a zoom for greater flexibility. Talk me out of it, of course, if you think that is the best choice. The lens that looks killer to me is the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM, although it is very pricey and may be overkill for me. Th…

Nice to see some familiar names on the roster; too bad I'm joining you.

Shout out to any other Girls & Corpses magazine readers? Okay, I have to give Oddee their due.

Hello, I just realized I am lending my Aero DAC to Mike.. ... and he has a gun. Help please. Edit: I will also accept any cans of maze.

I love to read and don't mind a challenge but I started reading Proust again and I think he is the most difficult author to read. His sentences are insanely long, often times taking up a long paragraph's worth of space. He also writes with an iron fist. If you're mind wanders for even a bit you'll often times be lost. This is a striking difference between his work and let's say Ulysses where your mind can drift as often as the protagonist's and be on the same page. What author or authors give you trouble?

Happy birthday to you. Hope your day was good.

Hope you are both having great birthdays with plenty of cycling or beer, as the case may be. Cheers!

May the cake flow and the whisky burn! Have a great one!

I know that it's not your nature to do so, but this year cut loose and have a little wine on your big day!

Have a phenomenal day Santa!

Great movie. I can't think of any reason why anyone shouldn't see this flick. It took me a little while to see it, because when it was first recommended to me it was called a "dark comedy". And while in general I like "dark comedy", sometimes I find the term "dark comedy" actually means "boring" and "not funny" (think Death To Smoochy). Lots of fantastic acting, from the oldest actor (heroin using grandpa played by the always kick ass Alan Arkin) to the youngest actor (little girl, character named Olive), the characters are all real and engaging. Also starring Greg Kinnear and Steve Carrell, who continues to impress me with his incredible talent range. He'll snatch a B…

Happy birthday and have a great one!
