A couple pics and the order list for my 2008 Chevrolet Corvette....
This is what is listed on the 'window sticker' which, despite the federal warning on the sticker that says 'do not remove prior to delivery to ultimate purchaser', was not on the window at all. It was folded up with the rest of the 'day 1 info packets'. I was glad it wasn't on the window because it meant they washed the sticker goo off and I didn't have to worry about it.
Just like I set up a set of blog entries to talk about my photography gear I am setting one up to track my Vette mods. This post will be the main one, just a list of item names, that links out to individual posts that go in to more details about a particular item. Load the full entry to see the list...
I hesitate to call these 'mods' since they are so trivial, but typing that is easier than typing 'replacement parts, add-ons, modifications, and after-market accessories' every time. Couple pics and links to purchase some black chrome air conditioner control knobs, the black out stickers for the lame painted-on visor safety warnings, and a nifty product that lets you drive topless without fear.
It has somehow been 4 months since I managed to post anything in my blog! I've been working on a number of things, and have several partially-written blog posts in the queue. None are ready, but I'll give a teaser of one.
Back in the days before blogs I had a website with pages dedicated to various 'stuff.' Keeping those pages up to date was a pain, so they inevitably fell in to disrepair. Blogs (or rather the content management system that most blogs use) are great for this.

Home automation is not just about 'clap on / clap off' bedroom lights. A good home automation system has many aspects that are not noticable by the occupants, things that you don't notice until you move to a new house that doesn't have a system. Occasionally you do need your house to give you information before it does something, and doing that in a smooth way is important to keeping the system 'in the background.'
My new tripod finally arrived this week. I ordered it weeks, perhaps months, ago and it finally shipped. It was risky to order a tripod basically sight-unseen with no reviews or anything other than a single marketing picture that was on a number of sites, but for $30 it was a gamble I was willing to take.

Over the past month and a half I have replaced the Honeywell programmable thermostat that came with the house with a Venstar 1900 programmable thermostat. This is exciting. I don't understand why you are not excited to read more about my thermostat below...
