BMW 6 series, on a diet

Being the lover of BMW’s 6 series that I am, I asked myself what the car would look like without the infamous “banglebutt.” I took a stab at removing the said trunklid using photoshop and this is what I came up with…

6seriesminusbanglebutt

I think the car looks beautiful without the hard trunk line and I noticed that the rear of the car looks an awful lot like a 911. So then I came up with this comparison….

Just found my ultimate vacation home in Texas. Seems like a great “get outta rain” type place with a few nice things for the kids. :-D

Got a spare 7.5mil?



The TV: A wireless monitor?

Just thinking today that more and more of the content I watch on my television comes from my computer. All this AppleTV talk has me longing for a device which acts as a wireless conduit for content from computers on my network. The AppleTV isn’t right for many reasons, most of which comes from its itunes centric approach to managing content.

Netgear has a new product, the EVA8000, which does pretty much what I want for a bit more than I want to spend. It would be cool to have a plasma mounted to the wall with only this device behind it. All the content would be “pushed” via wireless with no need for cable boxes or the like plugged into the TV. Best of all, there would be no loss of quality as there is when I plug my computer into my current TV.



Miss USA

I’m embarrassed to say I’m watching Miss USA at the moment. Now that that’s out there I’ve got to say that the crop of contestants sure is low quality. I see some of these states (like WA) and say “thats the best you could do.” Oh well, I’m mean.

Also, I think it would be a fabulous idea if they made the contestants represent the stereotypes of their state.

Ok I’m done…this is a lame topic.

Google Reader Feed

I’m a huge Google Reader fan and I’m not afraid to tell people that “From your 82 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 14,816 items.” Wow, that’s a lot of news to read. Knowledge is power…quantity over quality.

I’ve just discovered the share functionality within Google Reader and I’m going to begin to share items which will show on the left column of the blog. So if you care what I care about reading, have a look.

Right now I like Gadling, which is a blog with lots of travel news. Maybe that’s because I want to go on vacation.



Hello world!

Molvar.com is back (sort-of)! I’m now blogging using a free blog on WordPress.com versus my old hosted blog.

Still trying to get the look and feel the way I want in and I hope to import the old posts and comments, but these things take time.

Just glad to be back.
