I haven’t made a “Links of the Day” post in months but since I don’t have a pic of the day for today, have a link. Maybe I woulda had a pic of the day but I left my camera at church today… ooops.
YouTube – Modern Warfare 2 Mythbusters Episode 4: Chickens can survive tactical nukes, and the thing about using equipment on ladders was like a revelation to me.
Astronaut Sandra Magnus who, at least for the next couple of days is serving on the International Space Station, wrote a captivating entry describing what flying over the dark side of the Earth looks like on her space blog which I only recently found out about. I’m dying to visit space!
I would like to wish my many good friends who are on Team PorcuBimmer the best of luck this weekend at the 24 Hours of LeMons!
The 24 Hours of LeMons is a great idea — an endurance race on a budget. Each of the cars must be worth no more than $500! (This amount doesn’t include the cost of all the safety equipment such as roll cage, etc.)
This is the second 24 Hours of LeMons my friends on Team PorcuBimmer are competing in. The last time around the clutch or something blew up, but while they were running they were one of the fastest cars out there. Hopefully this year the car will be able to go the distance!
Check out this in-car clip they got their first time out in May 2008:
And what’s the deal with the porcupine theme? Well they say that this is the only BMW with the pricks on the outside.

UPDATE: Team Porcubimmer ended up finishing 32nd out of 114 teams, completing 290 laps. Not too shabby!
ESPN – Cindy McCain takes the wheel in her own race: Cindy McCain is an honest to goodness drifter! Check out this video from ESPN.com – I had originally wanted to post this back in September in the middle of the presidential campaign when it was a bit more relevant, but I got a little sidetracked by my stay in Tajikistan.

What We Do is Secret – What We Do Is Secret premiere dates:
This is the second of the feature films I’ve worked on to actually get released to the public (not counting festivals) as well as the first to get a (non-festival) theatrical release (the other film was direct to DVD)! I don’t even know if I’m in the credits or not. But check the link to see if it’s playing in a theater near you. Just don’t get mad at me if it sucks, haha.
