When Rust Is Cool: 30 Insane Rat Rod Photos When Rust Is Cool: 30 Insane Rat Rod Photos Rat rods are nothing but an automotive phenomenon. Indeed, who could imagine these rusty jalopies, derisively dubbed “rat rods” would become a whole subculture? Born in America in the 70’s (like it could be born elsewhere), rat rodding has become popular all over the world and peeps that build and enjoy these cars have adopted the term in a positive connotation.
Vans (Dajiban) are the HOT SHIZ in Japanland I guess Saw this on another board:People have been asking what this is in the "2010 trends" thread, so I thought I'd make an appearance thread about it. I suppose it's like any other wacky JDM style (i.e. shakotan, yanky, vanning-zoku, Dekotora, etc), but I think this one is tits.I first stumbled across this back in July on the Japanese RS Watanabe website in the "owner car" section.It's been referred to as "Youga Base" style, "Hentai Vans", and a few other things, but apparently they just refer to their cars as "Dajjibans", or Dodge Vans. The Katakana to search for is "ƒ_ƒbƒWƒoƒ“".If anyone finds any new blogs, sites, or images related to the Dajjiban thing, post them in here.

The StanceWorks Shop Truck: 1928 Model A Pickup - StanceWorks I finally moved the truck in to the "shop" today. Plenty of room to work on it and start diving in... or rather walking down the steps in to the shallow end. I wanted to start visualizing where i want the truck to be in the end. While it's a far cry from what I see in my head, I figured I'd at least do what I could at the moment for some motivation. I pulled off the bed- Facebook Pulls Back Curtain on 'Timeline' Serkan Piantino in Facebook's New York office Photo: Victor J. Blue/Wired.com Eight hundred million Facebook profiles will soon get Timeline. Over the coming week, Facebook will officially roll out the latest addition to its world-spanning social network: a Timeline that maps out each profile as a series of chronological events. And for the average user, it will appear as if by magic. But Timeline, Facebook’s biggest interface change in recent memory, is the end result of a six-month effort not only to create a new piece of software, but to find a way of quickly serving that software to an audience of 800 million.

CERN physicists find hint of Higgs boson Researchers at the CERN particle accelerator have found "intriguing hints" of the Higgs boson, a moment of major progress in years of previously unfruitful searching for the elusive subatomic particle. The search for the Higgs boson is the top priority of CERN's massive and expensive Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland. Its Atlas experiment showed a statistically suspicious increase in activity that indicates the Higgs could be pinned down with a mass of 126 giga-electron-volts, and showing some important agreement, its independent CMS experiment found a possible result nearby at 124GeV.
Motor Trend: The C7 Corvette Body is Done! — Corvette: Sales, News & Lifestyle As the C7 Corvette project moves along, gird your loins for many of these prognostications about the status of the new car, including new features and options that are being considered. Today’s rumor about the next generation Corvette is a two-fer from the MT Confidential column on page 17 of Motor Trend’s December 2010 issue. Motor Trend “MT CONFIDENTIAL” editor Mike Connor says: “The C7 Corvette body is done, after a two-design in-house competition at GM design. Like the C6 that launched as a 2005 model, the 2013 or 2014 Corvette will be an evolutionary update of the current car, say a C6.5.
App Engine Our development language of choice is Python. To invoke a SOAP web service we chose to use the SUDs library rather than create a web service interface from scratch. We tested it locally and seemed to work fine. When we uploaded it to App Engine with some sample code, we found some errors due to limitations in App Engine for using sockets and accessing the file system. To get around this, we extended the SUDS library so that it didn’t use the sockets module, and instead of using the file system we used the App Engine memcache API. Brochures Nothing for sale here.
