Got my new wheels, some 18×8 SSR GT7-H, with light grey spokes and a chrome ring. Had em installed saturday. Follow the jump for some quick pics. I had just washed the car and it started raining, so the pics are some goofy angles from inside the garage. |

Sold the Axis Se7en’s

Sold the Se7ens, i’m gonna buy some other wheels. The “gunmetal” on these wheels is just way too green for my taste. |
1 Year Later: Marvel Precision .22LR 1911 Conversion Review
|
I’ve had my Marvel Precision conversion kit for more than a year, and my first review of it here was just over a year ago. So In a year, and probably close to 4,000 rounds through it, how has it held up? |

Hawaii Vacation!
|
Back from our trip to Waikiki, so i have a few pics up on flickr. More to come. All of the Hawaii pics are geotagged too, so you can see almost exactly where we took them. The pic here is of Makapu’u lighthouse, on the east coast of Oahu. |

Not my week for technology…

So on Saturday my Xbox360 died a horrible death. Well, horrible for me anyway. It hasn’t apparently affected Laura very much.. 🙁 Tonight, for the very first time during my long tenure of TiVo ownership, i got the “Green Screen of Death”. I’ve had 4 TiVo boxes in my lifetime, and 3 of them have died of various hardware failures. 1 dead tuner, 2 dead drives, and now the newest one (which is several years old) is apparently having issues. 2 of the dead ones, including my original series 1 TiVo, are now External HDD Enclosures in my office! By the time I edited, uploaded the photo of the greenscreen, the TiVo had restarted and is working. But it appears a little more sluggish than usual, though. Ruh-roh! |

Want an overpriced Resolver?
I never thought that i’d see anything i worked on would show up on ebay. Well, mostly because i work on software for a living. And its very specialized software. And it isn’t really something you look for on ebay. Well, hopefully someone does… and hopefully they have a fat checkbook. And if you really want a real Rosetta Resolver®, let me know, because i can get a bonus for the sales lead (i’m not in sales, so i don’t get a commission! 🙂 ), and i can get you a new one for probably cheaper than that!
The best part of the auction is that they didn’t post screenshots or screen captures. they posted digital photos of the monitor. classy. There’s a pdf attached to the auction that is a series of photographs of a powerpoint presentation. And they didn’t even use an lcd, its a curved CRT, so you can even see the screen refresh. Awesome!
So maybe my signed XBOX360 isn’t so great…
If you’ve read the, My XBOX360 is cooler than your XBOX360, then you know how about a year ago, i bought an XBOX 360 at a charity auction which was signed by Steve Ballmer.

I’ve had some “This disc cannot be read” errors, requiring a restart, but they only happend in 2 games (PGR3 and Oblivion), and after restarting, the system generally worked fine. That all changed today when i was going to continue co-op Gears of War with a friend. The dreaded “Ring of Light” appeared…. |
