This solar roadway is neat, and has actually caught the eye of the US government. It'll be interesting to see how many members of the general public actually invest in it, though: http://www.outsideonline.com/news-from-the-field/Blazing-Trails-Solar-Panels-Could-Replace-Roads.html Can't mention sol...

Ok I found what you're talking about now. http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/05/mario_kart_month_mario_kart_8_character_profiles_koopalings_galore I've always liked Rosalina over Peach and Daisy. Most likely it's the voice. And yes that color looks just like rose gold. Maybe the Japanese call it ...

Red Converse Laces

Finally getting to use my new red converse, but had to re-lace them instead of using the boring criss cross lacing pattern they came in. I went with the straight European Lacing pattern, since I have an odd number of hole pairs. Otherwise I would have gone with the Straight Bar one. http://www.fiegg...

Nope, the options are in the games themselves. Keen 1-3: F3 Keen 4-6: Configure > Use Keyboard > Movement/Buttons Pretty sure that the other two were just saying that they're comfortable enough with the defaults that changing the controls is unthinkable to them. Okay then. Yeah I'd change it if I k...

Last time I did that my kids laughed at me for "recycling myself". I had dumped a bag full of shoes in the recycling bin by accident. Shoes we were planning on donating, so I fished them back out. This was a big dumpster type bin we have behind our church.

I thought there were at least 3 semi active girls here. But probably not appropriate to announce them if they don't do it themselves.

Keen4 any% 10:19 Probably doesn't look any different from the old record but man it felt good to get that time. I think I'm going to work on Eight Accumulators next as a run, might do both easy and normal and see which one's more interesting. I saw some errors(or could have been stalling for enemy ...
