Almost Bought One of These

Since I had to junk my Jetta, I’ve been looking with what to replace it.

They’re sold regularly at auctions. Of course the decals must be removed before putting it on the road.

Come on, of all the people you know who should be driving one of these…

 

 

Cleaning off my Phone

Things from the last few weeks.

Catchup with Casie xo

We built our blogs together. Are you reading hers? You ought to – CasieStewart.com, and her Twitter is consistently one of the best curated feeds.

My comforter project is almost complete.

And my fan finally arrived, look how beautiful! Look how excited I am about a fan?

Home-owning makes me excited about things I never thought I’d be. Blog tag = house

I track the planets and planetary alignments.

This security project kicks off this week, it’s very good.

Monthly steak with a BFF, a 5 year tradition.

And I’m trying, hard, to learn to make food.

This is actually good for me, plus I didn’t have to go to the store first or anything.

Caught up with an old friend over the holidays, “remember this?”, “remember that?” and “wait we documented it…”

Re: the masks – that’s the 1st time I’ve dressed up on Hallowe’en in 20 years, and I’m still paying for it.

I’m not guys, same answer as another organization, last line here.

Night.

 

 

Your Screen can be Seen from Far Away

Like the 2nd floor of a mall.

What about using using a real camera, instead of a phone?

And know how, while typing, the letters get larger?

The Attack

HD video camera > zoom > record > play it back slowly > get password

The Defence

Back to the wall when entering passwords, and look up first, everyone forgets to look up.

 

 

My 1st WRX OMG

It’s all-new this year, re-designed completely.

2015 Subaru WRX Sport Package CVT

2.0L Turbocharged
268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque
0 – 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds
Top speed of 240 km/h

Subaru uses a boxer engine, which makes that signature growl, which I think sounds good.

Although a manual transmission comes standard, my tester was an automatic, and a CVT at that.

I declared it to be the first CVT I’ve ever liked. Still would prefer manual.

Non-car nerds: you’ve likely seen a WRX, but with a massive spoiler on the back, and maybe rolled your eyes like I have.

We are wrong, the wing is cool, and functional too.

Boost!

And that hood vent, into it.

Available in 3 trims, this is the middle one; it has the “Sport Package”, which sees the addition of a rear spoiler, sunroof and fog lights.

Booking another of these soon as my schedule permits, in manual.

Prediction – within a couple years, Subaru will go from being the underdog, to the one to beat.
