Bring the Mazda2 Stateside!

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 23:30:17 GMT

So I really want to Mazda2 to be available in the US around when I graduate college and can afford a new car, so I figured instead of wishing I'd let Mazda know and sent them an e-mail.

I think there are only a couple of people on my f-list who care as much if at all about the 2 as I do but here is the URL you can e-mail Mazda at.

http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/emailMazda.action

I couldn't find an exact Topic: to send them an e-mail under so I sent it as a "Advertising/Website Feedback" with a Subtopic: of "Suggestion & Opinion".

So if you like the Mazda2 as much as me, send Mazda USA an e-mail. =P

It isn't smart to upset your userbase when the only thing that gives you value is said userbase...

In case you haven't heard, LJ has summarily banned thousands of users and communities in a purported attempt to "combat incest."

Caught in this round-up were support communities devoted to the victims of incest and child molestation as well as a Spanish-speaking community used for the discussion of the novel Lolita.

I read it here, http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/05/31/0329200

I know for a fact with how things stand I will not be renewing my paid user status, however I am not unsure if I intend to move my blogging elsewhere as the main purpose for retaining a livejournal is that all of my friends make use of it.

If anyone is as bothered by this act on Six Apart/Livejournal's side as I am perhaps we can migrate to another blogging community together, I know there are many many to choose from, it would not be difficult to find one who even uses the LJ engine for familiarities sake.

Anyway, that is my piece.

I could get used to this linux thing, well, except for the lack of games (C&C3 / Counter-Strike: Source).

Ok that and the lack of Trillian is kind of annoying. And iTunes. I really miss iTunes.

I had some fun with my documentation.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// This is a helper funciton for pat_delete.  It does some node
// pointer voodoo to make case 3 of delete work properly.
// Input parameters: pat_node* &subroot- the subroot that will be
//	victim to the voodoo.
//	pat_node* path- the node that helps with the voodoo
//	int val- vicitim nodes value
//	int* bs- victim nodes bitstring
//	int lcb- the checkbit of the last visited node
// Output: doesn't return anything but performs some HIDEOUS voodoo
//	on subroot.

I wrote Governor Schwarzenegger via e-mail...

Dear Governor Schwarzenegger,

I have never written a government figure regarding any issues but I felt I had to let speak out on my view regarding the upcoming execution of Tookie Williams. There is no question this man has done wrong, he was responsible for the murder of several people. But in recent years he has become a force of good rather, fighting against what he himself is all too knowledgeable of which is the ever present problem of gang violence. He is a powerful force now, doing all he can to speak out against gang violence and stop young people and educate before they head down that path. To execute him now when he could still help so much would not only stop the much needed help he provides against the problem of gang violence, but could possibly incite the already existing problem. He has murdered people, justice should be served and he should spend the remainder of his life in prison. To execute him now would not be an injustice to him but to all the efforts being made to stop gang violence.

Sincerely,
Matthew Hopkins

I've been seeing the issue on the news lately and I figured, hey, why not?

As some of you may recall what my car looked like, I just recently put on a new hood and front piece, both of which gathered from the junky yard.

Use the "recall" link for before pictures to refresh your memory, as below I have picture of in-between and after.

Behold my car's pimping interior.

Thu, 12 May 2005 03:20:04 GMT

Omigodomigodomigodomigodomigodomigodomigod!!!

I drove my car! Like really! ^^ XD

My friend Tim took me out by one of the schools and we drove around and he said I basically got the knowledge down so its practice and he said I'd be fine driving home so I did! XD Didn't stall out until I was in my parking lot. XP And that's probably cos I was in 2nd and not 1st, had no momentum going on and such. ^^

Thu, 12 May 2005 01:13:18 GMT

She needs a lot of love but after I get all the new paneling on there, paint it up and fix the enterior it shall be a pimping ride. Just got the exhaust done, it helps. I drove it again today, stalled out twice at a light, whatever.

Been thinking about what to paint it as. Thought about all black, white with black trim strip. But my friends James Gibson and Matt (kiamakrai) recommend either all midnight blue or some really dark blue, or all white with the trim strip a really dark blue. I think I'll do that, all white with the trim strip midnight blue. Then I'll get a vanity plate that says "USAGIYO". ^^
