The first talk was How Sackboy Learned To Love Physics by Dave Smith co-founder of Media Molecule which produced the triple-award winning Little Big Planet. The talk wasn’t so [...]

The mailman finally brought something good instead of his usual packet of bills.

I missed this race last year, and was bummed. This will be my first race of the season, next will be the Indy 500. More importantly, though this will be Tab’s first IndyCar race ever! We’re volunteering for the [...]

The “Pit Boss” is back for the 2008 season, and I think his predictions are jacked up! He’s relying too much on previous seasons and isn’t paying enough attention to what’s been happening in the off-season testing and the pre-qualifying practice sessions.
