Jeep JK Shrockworks bumper
Zombie Killer's Shrockworks front bumper was installed back in April 2010, but I didn't have the Warn winch until August 2010. I was going to do one big write-up but it ended up too long, so I'll break it in to the two parts. Then I got super lazy and started failing at blogging... so now it is almost a year later.
Expand this entry for the walkthrough of the bumper installation.

New Vinyl
Instead of finishing the posts I've been working on for like 6 months, or even the one I started 3 months ago titled 'a quick post while I finish the longer ones I've been working on for months'... Some shots from my cell phone of the new decals I installed.

Off-road recovery kit
No one should leave the well-groomed roads without some amount of recovery gear. It may not be cheap, but it is way less expensive than getting a tow truck out in to the middle of nowhere (if it is even possible). Plus you won't end up being known as the 'equipment leech' of your group.

First aid kits
I have a couple of different first aid kits that have been bought pre-made or custom assembled. Having a first aid kit (and being prepared for an emergency) is serious business - it is sad to think that a little $10 pre-packaged kit is more than 90% of people have in their car.

Tuffy under-seat JK security drawer
Hopefully everyone realizes that a Jeep soft top is basically no more secure than a topless one. It is surprising how little effort Jeep put in to designing secure storage areas in them. Tuffy Security Products realized the problem, and has created a number of different products to address it.

Cobra 75 and Firestick Jeep CB Install
Part of being bad-ass is being able to outwit the 5-0. One way to do that, and make it easy to keep in touch with other folks in your caravan, is to install a Citizen's Band AM radio set.
I ordered a Cobra 75wxst

Kilby Enterprises Wrangler Cargo Panel install
To facilitate future mods, I installed a set of Kilby Enterprises JK cargo panels. These are basically two pieces of bent sheet metal cut to fit.
They don't actually do anything at all. So what's the point? The point is that they give you a nice surface to mount things on.
Read on for install pics.

Simple Wrangler body mods - steps,de-sticker,soft top, and black antenna
Made a few body mods right away - installed some OEM side steps, removed almost all of the branding, installed an OEM soft top, and blacked out the antenna.
Minor Jeep accessories - floor mats and grab handles
Installed Quadratech floor mats & cargo liner, and MasterCraft front & rear grab handles.
My Bad Ass Jeep (An index of my mods)
I'll keep this post updated like an 'index' every time I throw another mod on my 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited during its journey from 'showroom' to 'mine'.

Weather Now v2.4 Released (Davis Vantage Pro software)
I've done a pretty horrible job at updating my blog, but I have updated some software at least.
Weather Now has been updated to version 2.4.
Weather Now v2.4 is now available through either the local 'Downloads' section on XadaTech.com or via VersionTracker.com.

Davis Vantage Pro interface, Weather Now, released
Most of you know that I dabble in software. Well on April 1st (just a coincidence) I released version 2 of my shareware application Weather Now.
Weather Now 2 is a Mac OS X application that talks with a Davis Vantage Pro weather station via the data logger console option. You get an on-screen display of the weather, an option to log the data out for history, and an easy-to-understand AppleScript dictionary so you can pretty much do anything you like with the weather data (for example, using it with Perceptive Automation's Indigo home automation software).

'Battlestar Galactica' at the UN: A night of geekery, human rights, and fantastic curtains | PopWatch Blog | EW.com
Apparently someone decided that the guys over grom Galactica should address the UN. It sounds fairly loopy, but Robert Orr, the Assistant Secretary-General for Policy Planning said, "You've got people thinking about issues that we try and get people thinking about every day." and that does make sense.
For years Science Fiction (and Fantasy as a whole) has had stories that tackled various social issues in a way that made them approachable. The current version of Battlestar Galactica has put many issues in front of its viewers - from torture, to martial law, morality when people are pushed to their limits, government styles, and even what does it mean to be human - when you can't tell the difference between man and machine, what is the difference?

NameCheap refusing to refund $7.45
Update: I finally got ahold of someone who had common sense. My money was refunded within 24 hours.
The domain registration company NameCheap.com is refusing to refund $7.45 that is due to me. I had purchased a 1 year email hosting subscription, but they cancelled the service (and replaced it with a similar service, but didn't move previous customers over!) when I had 5 months remaining. It takes very little rocket science to figure out that if a customer buy a 12 month subscription and it only functions for 7 months that the company should refund 5 months worth of subscription fee.
Oh, did I mention that they didn't bother to notify me that they were about to shut down my email service, and that I only noticed because my dad sent me email (from his work account) saying his home computer was not working anymore?
After the jump, one of the messages I sent them after they twice refused to refund my money. Updates will occur when something happens.

About my Vette
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.
