Vote for me II.

Here it is. The chance for you to vote for me has come. The photos are out of order, but if you hover over each picture it gives you a number. My number is 20. So scroll down below the gallery and you can vote for #20 right there. I know you want to. It is the only entry with any sort of passive or active Zombie safety devices.

Vote for my Scion Hako Concept here.

Beer Book


I was home for a couple of weeks at the beginning on this month, and while I was there I picked up a great book about Beer. I didn’t read all of it, because half of the book is actually a reference guide and doesn’t make for good reading. But the book has become my new travel companion. The author is a guy named Michael Jackson. I was reading about him looking for a link, and it appears that he was one of the most respected figures is Beer literature of all time. He changed the way many people look at beer. Both drinking it and brewing. He liked to look at beer in reference to the culture from which it came. I read a lot, but I think this is the first book I’ve ever mentioned in my blog. If you’re a fan of beer, good beer, not the crap college freshman drink by the case, than check out this book. Now that I know his stature in the beer community I’m going to search out more of his books.

Vote for me.

You can't vote for me yet, but if I make it as a finalist you can. Here's the scoop.

Scion debuted a new concept at the New York auto show called the Hako.
This is what it looks like:
As you can see it is ass ugly. So, the auto bloggers over at Jalopnik have opened a contest to readers looking for the best redesign.
I've drawn out my re-interpretation of the Hako and hope it wins.
Here is my version:

If I make it to the finals I'll give you an URL to vote for me. And if I win I get two hats, which I would gladly post pictures of me wearing.
