Making woohoo

[greatbear]

Wired has a rather neat, one-page article regarding sexual orientation and the new game The Sims 2, as well as some other games. Good read.

In other news, I've had 6 Gmail invitations for a while. If anyone is interested, let me know.

The word of the day is


Apologies to danthered, but Tecumseh carburetors, despite their beautiful simplicity, suck. I tried ordering a new one online through Sears' usually comprehensive online parts service, but for this particular mower, to get the carb you have to buy it with the engine attached. Ah well, off to hassle my local small engine parts suppliers ("Oh, that's a Sears mower, we dont have any info on their stuff, you gotta get parts from them." "Just give me a carb that will fit that new mower you have over there, and I'll make it work." Parts counter guys often can't look beyond their parts catalogs and numbers). The life of a gearhead is often tragic.

Like to play the Sims with my 13-year old niece. She knows all the cheats, so she always has the nicest houses and lots of stuff, and her favorite thing to do is to send the husband off to work while the wife has an affair with the gardener.

She sounds like she was already set for the real world! Well, according to what's usually seen on TV. Or quite a bit of real life! ;)
