This is 1/4 my stepvan and we have decided to sell it for awhile now. I just thought I would post up some pictures and whatnot in case anybody knows anybody and would like to buy it from us. The price is flexible right now and you would have to email me to get that information. (stepvan@adion44.com) It’s in fairly good condition right now and it was fun while we had time and love to give her.

Make sure to go to www.adion44.com/stepvan for more info

I’ve put together (finally) an online store for my little ebay/e-company selling vintage motocross stuff. I like to call it Black Racing. Catchy and easy to remember eh? I thought so too. I’m still working on putting together a better design, yet whats up will do for now. Check it out if you wish. I’ll be putting up new products more and more. Things such as old vintage motocross jerseys and waaaay old vintage jeans and corduroys. I have an excess of this stuff so I’m trying to make a little money off of all this product.

Right now I’m putting together a new computer right now, and just as my luck goes, it’s never smooth in my experience. All well. Here’s some specs of the new compy. AMD Athlon XP 2500+ with GeForce FX 5500 XT with 256mb’s memory and 768 mbs total memory, 80 gb hard drive, LG DVD ROM/CD-RW at 52×32x52 and 16x dvd rom and that’s about it. It’s the fastest computer I’ve put together and I’ll actually have an almost completely up to date computer for once… Besides my laptop. Anyway enough gloating, I’m just happy to have a new computer. That puts me up to 4 total. Thanks just rediculous.


HP Ipod

Turns out HP and Apple have joined forces to conquer the digital music scene. Sometime soon I’ve read that the ipod like player will be available here in the states. The trade off of the deal is that Apple’s iTunes jukebox software will come pre-installed on all new HP/Compaq computers. (Remember the HP/Compaq merger? I do.) I think the deal is pretty awesome and exciting to hear.

I personally switched from WinAmp to using the windows based iTunes just for the features. I use the search function all the time and I love that all my music is right there in front of me after one initial loading.

That’s that, look out for the HP iPod coming in the next few months or sooner to stores. Here is the press release of the details.

Those of you who know about Blogger.com may know about the new bar they placed on the top of every Blogger.com hosted weblog. Well if you don’t here is some screenshots:
blogger.com toolbarblogger.com toolbar

While looking at evhead.com as I usually do, I thought of something that is nothing new, yet something that should be added to the blogger.com toolset. How about a personalized list of Blogger Blogs customized by the user. It would be exactly likeBlo.gs yet for Blogger weblogs. It would be super cool. Those Blogger people could just add it into the Dashboard, and then on that tool bar put something like “Add to Watcher” or some other catchy name they might think of. I think it would be very useful since I’m sure more and more people are clicking “next blog” and they might see something they really like and would like to continue reading that weblog. So instead of bookmarking it, Blogger could make the “blogger watcher” that people could use all day everyday.

Thats it! I think it would fit very well with the other pile of tools and features Blogger.com has. In fact I have a Blogger.com blog –> dan.adion44.com I set it up just to see how it works. Currently I am a very happy Wordpress user. Yet if you don’t know how to setup websites or anything, I would suggest Blogger and you will be set up with a weblog in just a few minutes.

Whew! That was a fun quick vacation. I’ll give you a mini summary of some of my ventures on my 2 day vacation…. um or rather trip up to school for the night.

One of the more notable items of the trip was going to Habibi’s Cafe in Westwood. (Right next to UCLA) Let me tell you, this is one really cool Hookah Bar. It’s one of the largest Hookah Bars I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to many. They were packed when we first got there at about 11 pm and stayed until about 2 am. It was still busy. That hookah bar is lots and lots of fun. Also, if you don’t smoke hookah, (it’s completely legal by the way.) they have pretty good food items on the menu as well as coffee and those types of drinks. The prices are not too bad aswell for hookahs. Only $10.00 for for the hookah and then $7.00 for the first refill and $5.00 refills after that.
Here’s some info for Habibi’s Cafe.
Address: 923 Broxton Ave. in Westwood Los Angeles
Phone: 310-824-2277

The rest of the time I was up there Chris and I hung out and did not much at all. Yet it was good. That’s about it. I didn’t take any pictures because I forgot my camera most of the time. All well.

I’m going up to LA today. Going to hangout with Chris and then help out Rachel with a few things. If you are around Cal Poly today and tomorrow. You should call me, if you want to do something.

On another topic, I have some more summer photos coming that I will be posting very soon. It turns out I am quite busy and able to work a bunch. Which means I get a bunch of money. Still 1 month left of summer and all my friends are already going back to school or at school. I laugh at them. That’s that. Talk to you all later.
