Two BMW Links to pass along

I have two BMW-related links to pass along. The first is for Bavarian Sound Works (http://www.bavariansoundwerks.com/). They provide speaker upgrade for BMW’s. A speaker upgrade costs about $650. Compare that to the several thousand dollar upgraded sound system from BMW.

The second is a site that makes car computers to boost diesel engine output and efficiency (http://www.dieseltuning.co.uk/).

Getting a New MacPro and ’set up’ is Hard Work!

New Mac Pro. Sixteen processors. Four hard drives. Twelve gigabytes of RAM. Hours and hours of setup. Yippee!

I am the proud owner of a 2009 BMW X5 35d

That diminuitive ‘d’ in the model designation stands for Diesel. Loving it so far.  When on the highway, if I zero the mpg meter it eventually settles at 30 mpg.  All around driving is around 24 mpg.

I have a new web site to announce: http://www.parentsofaddictedkids.net/

The organization was founded by one of the nurses I work with.  It’s a support group for parents of addicted kids that meets in Cental Pennsylvania.

Repeat After Me: I will not buy a new Apple gadget right away

Early owners of the  so-called ‘late 2008 macbooks’ have already found out why it pays to wait a little while before ordering a ‘new’ Apple anything:

Some Late-2008 MacBook users have posted complaints about the hinges on their computers apparently not holding the display open properly, resulting in the display either falling open or closing on them.

Alway, always give them 6 months to iron out the kinks. Quality control on these things is an itterative process, with updates being made incrementally throughout the production cycle.

Stocks: Will There Be A Follow Through Day?

After a significant market correction, the market will look to regain its footing. Any up day then counts as Day 1 of an attempted rally.

The next two sessions, Days 2 and 3, don’t need to show much in the way of gains. As long as they don’t undercut Day 1’s low, the rally remains intact.

For a follow-through to occur, you want it to land between Day 4 and Day 7 of the attempted rally. On any one of those days, you’re looking for one or more of the major indexes — the Nasdaq, S&P 500 or Dow — to rise 1.7% or more in higher volume than the previous day.

Finally Found a Reason To Upgrade to iPhone 3G

In addition to the faster data speeds and higher-quality audio, 3G offers one additional advantage over EDGE: 3G can take an incoming phone call while simultaneously using the data network. I missed a surprising number of calls on my old iPhone while dicking around waiting for pages to load in Safari.
