I’m only 1/2 way through winter and I’m getting that car jones. Media Center part 4 coming soon.

Thanks to recent discussions about this years racing schedule as well as a few f-body conversations, I’ve got a full-on car craving! On that theme, I give you the Autoblog Tuner Tuesday. Enjoy.

As far as the last installment of my MCE write-up… I swear it will be here soon… stay tuned.

Frozen man found on Brad’s front lawn.

Brad’s tenants found a frozen homeless man on the easement in front of his Redford rental property. A soon as word spread, a discussion erupted. The summary is: a friend of a tenant picked her up around 11:30 pm. The friend noticed a “shape” that she assumed was a knocked over garbage can. (This happens a lot near Beech Daly… tipped over garbage cans… not frozen bodies.) Around 1:30 am, the friend drove Brad’s tenant home. At that point, they noticed that the shape was a person. The tenant immediately ran inside and had he boyfriend check for any response. None. The body was frozen solid. Police and EMS responded immediately. There were no signs of trauma, and it is assumed that the man (estimated to be in his 50s) was overcome by the cold when he failed to find shelter.

Mac mini is official. Begin lusting.

It’s finally here. The $500 Mac. No mouse, keyboard or display. 2 inches tall. 1.25 ghz processor, 256 megs of ram, 40 gig drive. Burn CDs, play DVDs. Sounds like a winning combo to me. This more than matches the bare bones offerings for do-it-yourself pc builders. Other suggestions: automotive mounting, media center solutions, quality assurance stations, classrooms. Now I just need to see some pics.
