It would appear some kids in Santa Cruz built an flying wing with VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) capabilities.

So am I the only person who’s tired of living in the rectangle world?
Ok; I understand we need standards 4:3 ratio worked fine for a TV standard for many years, and I do agree the broadcast industry needs a standard, and wouldn’t it be nice if that standard where common and automatic?

However out of the box it doesn’t seem to be the case, So… I started poking around.

The mustang is an age old icon introduced in the sixties which has gone through a number of iterations to reach their current generation; an obvious tribute to their beginnings.
It’s been many years driving the ol girl, and now its time to review it as I say good bye. To be exact, the vehicle is a 1989 Toyota Camry DX StationWagon. Outside the primary birth control affects the station wagon gives off, it turned out to be one hell of a vehicle. Now, as [...]
I got a phone call from an old customer about her PC acting up. She talked about installing stopzilla and everything going to the snails since. Any how long story short i’m going through a re-education period of trouble shooting XP. Any how, after failing to find some of the old jem of resources I [...]
