Incase goes green with a Slider case that is 40% bamboo. Sexy and green.

Bursting Out of My Shirt
All Trini massive put yuh han in di hair if yuh luv buss-up-shut!
Now I'm not Trinidadian, but you don't have to be to love this tasty Trini (really east indian, read on) treat. This is by far one of the Caribbeans more tasty dishes.
For those who don't know Trinidad has a pretty significant population of East Indian transplants, who brought with them the fine art of Curry and flat bread making. "Buss-up-shut," vernacular for "burst-up-shirt," is the West Indian version of Paratha Roti which is generally served with any one of these sides, bodi, pumpkin, ochro, curry chicken, curry goat, curry shrimp, curry mango just to name a few.
I was reminded of how good buss-up-shut can be when I went to Tassa Roti Shop, a Trinidadian restaurant just North of Atlanta in Marietta and had more than my fill.

Aahh Chute!
I'll just say it. I HATE FLYING.
When I was younger nothing was more exciting than knowing a plane ride was coming up, no matter the destination. These days sweaty palms, butterflys and anxiety attacks accompany me with most flights, unless I increase my alcohol consumption right before boarding. If the fears of flying really come from the fear of crashing then there might be some relief in sight, at least on smaller planes. In comes Cirrus an aircraft manufacturer that has found a way to attach deployable parachutes to their planes. They even have videos showing the ultimate flying safety feature in action.
I can't wait for these things to become standard on passenger aircraft.

My Ride Is Back
After 3 long weeks I finally got my bike back from the HD mechanics. It appears that the recession is affecting parts production for motorcycles, delaying the delivery of my brake line which had to be shorter for installation of my new drag bars.
So far I've installed a set of Vance and Hines Short Shots, done the stage one race tuning and now installed black drag bars. I'm already trying to figure out what to do next that will not make the custom installations seem forced. I'll let you know when I do.
Now if the ATL weather would just cooperate I might actually be able to ride.

BMW Eater?
Test driving the new 2009 Subaru WRX was as much fun as I expected. My one regret was that I didn't get to drive the WRX STI which is rarely ever available to purchase let alone test drive.
Is the STI a BMW ETR? I don't know for sure but checking out the written specs it would seem so. The BMW M3 costs around $70K the STI $35K. 0-60 in the M3 takes about 4.6 secs, the STI, a meer 4.4 secs. At half the price and with as many rally wins as WRX's have, some might say, "dinner is served".
2008 WRX STI pictured above. No real external differences from the 2009 model.

Beat Your Ear Drums
I've not had the chance to experience these head phones yet but from what I've read they sound as good as they look. Available in custom colors, ColorWare Beats by Dre from Monster Headphones make a bold statement.
Looky C-LUX
While in college I wanted a Leica camera but was never able to afford one. Finally when I could, there was no justification for spending thousands of dollars on a camera especially since I wasn't even an avid photographer.
Recently I decided to take another look and discovered that while Leica is still THE exotic camera maker, there are a couple of them that are reasonably priced and don't stiff you on picture quality or the sexy factor.
I like the C-LUX 3 in Black.
I could really get into snapping pics again.
