The pearlized “ocean blue” colour is also a contender. The only problem is that I have to see it in person to find out if I would get sick of it or not. The 3 dealerships near me say that they never stock a car in that colour because it’s not popular. Guess I have to drive further to check it out.
Do you think that the red would make me a target for the police?
Ok, so I’ve decided (based on test drives, and pricing) that I’m going to go with the 2007 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro Avant.
The only problem now, is I’ve got not idea which colour to get. The red is sleek and sexy, but the grey is a bit more reserved and quiet.
Which do you think I should get? Take a look at the pictures below…
That’s right, you’ve been waiting for this day. The day, when you can see all the surprisingly amazing things that happen all day long outside my condo!
Enjoy!
Ok, so I finally took some photos of my new setup! Here you go…
Image 1
This is the desk - I’ll explain my setup.
This is the older style ikea desk (the model name is “Jerker” - no jokes please!)
On the left are 3 shelves that I use for my filing.
Top shelf I have my laser printer, a bunch of pictures, mini etch a sketch, some dolls, and an Austin Powers bobble head! Underneith the baboon, frog and dog, is my colour printer (epson 1280 - prints 13×44 borderless!!!) and on a shelf on the right is my mic - on a boom stand (I ripped apart an old desk lamp and made this) and my scanner. Both printers and scanner are plugged into the computer sitting on another shelf on the bottom left.
The middle shelf I have some more filing, my 20″ WS monitor (it’s my primary monitor for the computer on the left, as well as for my macbook pro when it’s plugged in. Beside that is my macbook pro. It’s on a bytecc dual fan stand, that’s on top of a 4″ monitor stand (well… laptop stand now). Teh fan is USB powered, so I have it plugged into a USB port on my monitor. It has an on/off switch on the back, so I only turn it on when it gets warm. Beside that I have the mouse for my tablet. Some cd’s and a shelf with my headphones and telephone. I have a corded phone, in case the power goes out I can still use the phone.
On my desktop, I have my drink (my L speaker is behind that), 1 of my external drives, my keyboard my tablet, the my R speaker. Just to the left and behind the R speaker is the USB switchbox that I bought. To the right of the R speaker and just in front, is the pen for my tablet. The subwoofer is on the shelf on the bottom R.

Everything is the same, except you can see the shelf that I built underneith. It has my router, network USB storage adapter, network drive, and cable modem.
For me to switch from back and forth between the computers, I push the input change on my monitor, and press 2 of the buttons on the USB switch (for the keyboard, and tablet). I suppose I could plug the tablet into 1 of the USB ports on my keyboard, but the thing with that, is that the ports are on the R side. So I couldn’t put them right next to eachother. No big deal for me to push 2 buttons. I have VNC installed on my computer, so I usually use that to connect to it and manipulate it. It’s there more for serving data and running my databases more than anything else.
So, that’s my system… in a nut-shell…
What do you think?
Well, it’s getting to that time. My car lease expires in March 2007, so I’m out looking for a new vehicle! yay… I love shopping for cars.
Basically the 3 that I’m looking at are:
So I’ve test drove all of them. I even went and tested out Subaru - I was not impressed at the lack of features that the Legacy wagon has when it’s priced around $40,000.
Take a look at this website for the Edmunds.com comparison of these 3 cars.
What am I looking for in a car:
That’s about it for my wants.
