Art By Phil Hansen

Added on July 18th, 2007

Wow, what can I say? I’m really impressed. Phil Hansen really needs more exposure, though it’s not like my blog will bring him much attention, but every single person who does learn about him from here is really an excellent thing. So who is Phil Hansen and what does he do? As the title already implies, he is an artist, but not just any artist.

This guy is really amazing, and each one of his works is different as well, and somehow it all makes wonderful sense. Really really amazing. There’s another video, which shows off more of his work and how he does it at Yahoo’s People of the Web feature.

Post Ratings And You

Added on July 17th, 2007

To get a better idea of what people like and don’t like, I have added a post rating system which lets everyone, anonymously rate a post. The ratings are your typical five star business, where five is the best, and one the worst. I’d like to add a sort of guide though, or more like a reference, so that I could maximize the rating results and draw better conclusions from them.

It’s actually just one thing. Please rate. That’s it, it doesn’t take any time, and doesn’t require you to do refresh the page or anything, just one click and you have rated the post. Rating posts will help me decide in what direction to take my blog, and to see what type of posts (lots of text, or lots of images, or a mix, or whatever) people enjoy reading most.

So go ahead and rate my posts, and don’t just go giving everything five stars, if a post deserves only one star (and I’d give quite a few that low of a score here) then please do put it down as one star. Thank you for your time.

Tuning A Zaporozhets (ZAZ)

Added on July 16th, 2007

While I think that most tuning is a waste of money and time, if it’s done excessively and only to show off, I really do love what some people have done with their ZAZs. For those of you who don’t know, a ZAZ is basically what a VW Beetle and East Germany’s Trabant were, a people’s car. Very compact and most importantly affordable.

Really amazing what some creativity and money can do. For even more crazy ZAZ tuning pictures, have a look at English Russia’s entry on ZAZ tuning.
