Tires

There comes a time, if you drive a car or ride a cycle, when sooner or later you are faced with having to replace the tires.
I am at that point of my life, again. I have a Volvo 850 that had the tires replaced sometime in the fall of 2007. Now my other car needs the tires replaced. Must have been all the burning and drifting I've been doing.

Unfortunately, these tires are costly. So, I searched various websites for the perfect match at the perfect price and I cannot help but complain. At least wonder why this car needs to have such high velocity rubber. Oh, yeah its a sports car, duh!

I could sell the car, but I really love the way it handles, and then there is the speed factor. I can talk all day about how quickly it can reach a terminal velocity and it handles curves like they were a straight away.

Anyway here is the run down of what I need; two front tires 235/35 ZR19 91Y, and two rear tires 275/30 ZR19 92W. While I enjoy becoming a savy tire buyer, I still do not understand why 30 is wider than 35 or the difference between 91Y and 92W? Does anyone know the answer?

What I have found - Falken FK 452 for $168.00 for the front and Dunlop Direzza DZ101 at $233.00. Obviously, the problem here is that the manufacturer does not match.

FEEL THE HEAT

Got up early to verify connectivity to a database that experienced a controlled outage. Getting up early is never pretty, especially on a Sunday. But as I was idling time I checked my email and found a notice about forkergirl uploading a new video. Well I just could not resist taking a look. So for your viewing and auditory pleasure -------------- I can't believe it has almost been a month since my last post.

How alike we are?

We project similar thought, emotion, and insecurity.

It is a wonder we manage to handle the bombardment of visual advertisements that asks us to consume more and more to keep the economy in motion. The majority of people still display a need to consume in order to create identity. They smoke, drink, flirt, converse, and act out the drama of contemporary life.

We enter this electronic age, with the fears, pleasures, and cultural shock derived from our own experiences of religion, politics, alcoholism, drugs, sex, mental and physical abuses.

We have created a need and desire for more technology, linking us through everyday use, shaping our everyday lives, drawing upon the human mind for development. Influencing and changing how we live, act and love. We create collaborative artworks designed for a Utopian vision of a unified, commercialized culture.

Now our children need higher education, so they may survive in this modern society.

Time for another entry

Well, it has been almost two weeks, and as I sit in the western living area of our home. I think about all I have accomplished, okay it's not that much, but I am trying.

For my personal benefit, here is a tidbit. Updated my website, and all the other social networking sites that I belong to. In fact, I added so many sites to my facebook page that a colleague wondered if I have enough. Good question, do I?

I have linked my radar.net site with twitter and made some design changes. I wanted a way to keep a perspective on various stories from my personal website page coolture, which tells a daily, okay maybe every other day, or so... story of my own events and serves as a visual diary for my family, friends, and colleagues.

The Coolture page projects items I send to Radar, QIK, and Tumblr. Radar projects my community conversation about what is going on anywhere and everywhere I go. My intent for QIK is to record meaningful events. I chose this application because of its ability to record better video resolution when I need it, plus it is in realtime. Tumblr has become my mobile narrative, posting as El Malcriado, sharing text, photos, quotes, links, music, videos, yada yada yada!

Well, enjoy and let me know what you feel, good, bad, or ugly.
