Pumpkin Pizza and Boo Brownies

We are all set for Halloween. Last night we had Pumpkin Pizza from Papa Murphy’s and my wife made Boo Brownies.

Then we all watched Beetlejuice.

Tonight me and my daughter are handing out candy and later we are going to watch “The Wolf Man” with Lon Chaney Jr.

Last weekend we watched the original “Dracula” with Bela Lugosi and “Frankenstein” with Boris Karloff.

Have a Happy Halloween!!

Drift Your Way Into Performance Art!

Looking for a new way to express your artistic abilities beyond just pencils, pens, and brushes?

Drift Champion Vaughn Gittin Jr. teamed up with Bosch to stage a one-of-a-kind event on September 6, 2008. The event was billed as “Performance Art”. Vaughn created a unique pattern of tire marks by drifting his 650 hp Mustang through a closed course in downtown Los Angeles. He titled his creation “Abstract on Asphalt.”

Vaughn won the 2005 D1 Grand Prix USA vs Japan event and the 2007 D1 Grand Prix World Championship.

Now where did I put my car keys, I’ve got some performance art to create!!!

Lego V8 Engine

If you are like me you have probably seen Lego building blocks used to make a variety of things. This week I came across a video of a Lego V8 Engine that someone created. What makes this Lego V8 Engine different is that it spins at 1440 rpm!

On a post from Make, it says that it took 4-5 months to make and it is not part of a Lego set. Some very nice images of the engine can be found on Brickshelf Gallery.

Ride along with the Bandit on Google Maps

Smokey and the Bandit is one of my all time favorite movies. I must have seen this movie over thirty times.

It came out about the time me and my friends were getting our drivers license, so needless to say it make a big impression on us. Still to this day there are certain phrases in the movie that always come to mind whenever someone says something to trigger them.

Just like the previous post about following along with the chase scene in Bullitt, now you also follow along with one of the chase scenes in Smokey and the Bandit.
