But, to make up for it, I am submitting these friendster freaks:

If they're not in your network, you should be my friend!
So, let's see what's changed since I last posted...um....
Job: I'm full-time now. Yay. Things are good.
Tracy: Over a year. We celebrated by going up to Big Bear for the weekend. It's freaky though...EXACTLY one year to the day from when we met (in the hospital, Tracy taking care of me), I was taking care of her in the ER. Guess she got some sort of kidney infection. Woke up that morning at 5AM freaking out, and we flew about 100mph down La Jolla Village Drive in the RX-8 to the hospital. She turned out fine and we continued on the trip later that day. But freaky what a conincidence it was. I don't even want to guess at the implications of that.
Cars: After a lot more work, I got the Fiat running again. Rebuilt the carb, installed an electronic fuel pump and all new hose lines. Turns out I had burned out the old fuel pump, it had nothing to do with an overheating ignition computer. Then the starter solenoid completely died. So I after pulling the starter for the 3rd time, I got that replaced and it starting correctly again. I ordered some new wheels. Gotta get bolts tho, that's been a chore. I am generally not interested in working on cars right now. Even the 8 is really dirty.
Fires nearly burned down all of So Cal. It came within a half mile of my apartment. Pretty scary that morning to wake up to all that smoke. My step-grandmother was evac'd as her bushes burned, but somehow her house and her daughter's house both survived while the rest of the neighborhood melted to ash.
My old company, MP3.com is finally going away away. Sold the domain to C-Net. It has been gone for a while, but killing the site had yet to be done. Most of my friends that worked there now work for other Vivendi properties, or have found other jobs. I feel lucky to have gotten out when I did.
Went to Sevenstock this year with Sander. Kinda fun, saw some cool rotary cars.
Getting back into Amateur Radio. Pretty much as a directly result of Eddy getting his license and listening to the emergency nets during the fire. It was my first real hobby, and a love I've always had. Too bad I haven't been into it the last 4 years. It's so neat, sending radio signals from a little wire. Anyway, just got a new radio, put up an antenna and am learning morse and studying for my General class license upgrade. Pretty exciting to finally get to where I was hoping to be 10 years ago.
That's all for now. Thanks for the booty kick Judy. Maybe I can start updating this with a bit higher resolution.
