Click on this picture to see more pictures of Jennifer’s 2008 LandRover LR2. I will be writing a longer review soon, but it’s a fantastic vehicle for the amenities and the price. And the colour.. the colour is fantastic.

24- and 18-bit Color Test Images

I’ve tried these on my MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo purchased in October of 2006, and the display is a 24 bit display. The one wrinkle I suppose is I custom ordered a glossy display instead of the matte one.
U.S.-Canada Gas Prices – Call It Even

You know gas prices in the US are bad when they have basically caught up with Canadian prices – which always seem high to me..
Facebook is going to be huge…
A few months ago I created a facebook.com account, to help keep in touch with the older youth that had graduated or are about to graduate that I volunteer with at Entheos. I could only find a few of the youth when I joined, mainly the ones that had graduated last year.
The past few weeks though, the younger kids that I know have been creating accounts and adding photos and making friends. So much so that my ‘news feed’ section of facebook has mainly been full of “youth1 and youth2 are now friends”.
You heard it hear first. Facebook is the next MySpace.
CocoaHeads Portland May 8th – NSViewAnimation
We’re starting back up the CocoaHeads Portland chapter tomorrow night with a meeting at Extensis in downtown Portland (url to map).
I’ll be doing a short presentation on NSViewAnimation – a general overview of how it works, what it might be useful for, and then walking through a small example program. I’ll provide the source if you want to bring a laptop and try it out. We might have a last minute change of presenters, so stay tuned to here or the official page for more info.
We start at 6pm. Come early for pizza at 5:45pm.
Update:
It went pretty well I thought. We had a decent turnout, good for the first one in like 9 months.
Here’s my presentation and example source:
