*Drooool*

In 1994 the Ford Mustang changed its look from this

to this

and I fell in love. It was more streamlined and covety, ohhhh so covety. And I think the Mustang has just gotten better looking over the past 12 years.

Lo and behold, as of May 2006, look what is parked outside the Frayna family homestead.

Guboy, you're a lucky bastard.

Say wha? update

There was an update on the Sneeze post on the hearing test. A reader with some fancy schmancy audio software put together a range of frequencies here. For me, my limit of easily hearing the tones is 16,000 Hz. But if I turn off the TV and listen carefully, I can hear up to 21,000Hz. The tones are markedly fainter after 16,000 Hz, but 21,000 is also a noticably lower pitch (or is it tone?)

Neato.


P.S. I also hear better in my left ear than my right. And yet, I'm more comfortable talking on the phone to my right.

Didn't anybody tell him?

I was feeling kinda blue. But then I watched this.

This quote came to mind:
Dance like nobody's watching; love like you've never been hurt. Sing like nobody's listening; live like it's heaven on earth.

That may be a good way to live your life, but Uhhhh...Billy Squire...people ARE watching. For the love of god.

Say wha?

Here's a really interesting post on the Sneeze http://www.thesneeze.com/mt-archives/000529.php about high frequency sounds that are used to deter youngsters makin' a ruckus in stores.

I'd post the mp3's here if I knew how...I could probably figure it out, but I'm lazy and I should actually be asleep right now.

Anyways, I could hear a high pitched oscillating sound on #1 only if I put my ear up to the speaker. For #2, I suggest you stand back. It made me queasy and had me shaking my head for five minutes trying to get rid of the sound.
