Even better than the KITT replicas I mentioned yesterday, this guy bought a replica of the Delorean from Back to the Future. Looks pretty realistic to me. It was pretty old, though, so he had to overhaul it. Apparently, the Delorean Motor Corporation is still around and still has spare parts in stock, so repairs were not a problem.

In fact, you can \”order\” a Delorean for $32,500. Well, you\’re actually getting a used Delorean that\’s restored to like-new condition and warranteed from DMC, but still.

Remember KITT the talking Trans Am from Knight Rider? Knight Registries is an entire website dedicated to replica KITTs built by members. Some of them even have functional interiors.

Woohoo! I\’m finished with jury duty. I called the number at noon and it said \”Your service is complete.\” Excellent. I don\’t know why people are always complaining about it. Unfortunately, though, I don\’t think I get paid the $8.50 per day. Oh well.

Ex-Enron CEO\’s Wife Says They Are Broke

Asked what had happened to the reported $300 million in compensation and stocks her husband earned over the past four years, Linda Lay said the couple relied on now-worthless Enron stock and did not have a diverse portfolio.

Awwwwwww, how sad. This is the worst news I\’ve heard all week. Let\’s start up a collection to help these poor, poor people get back on their feet.

Lucky me, so far I haven\’t been called in for jury duty. See, every night I need to call an 800 number to see if I need to show up the next day. It saves me from going to the courthouse everyday and waiting around for hours. Modern technology will never cease to amaze me.

Here\’s an interesting article about transparent concrete. Apparently it should be possible if you add bits of plastic and glass to the concrete mix and use a transparent glue. So now when the commies start nuking us and you\’re hiding in your bunker, you\’ll have a spectacular view of the apocalypse.

Tech TV reports on a new device that TV stations are using to squeeze in more commercials. The technology cuts out duplicate frames from a show so that, over time, 30 seconds are accumulated and made available for another commercial. Sneaky, but I guess it\’s better than cutting entire scenes.

Orders – France 1944. An incredibly detailed diorama in 1/35th scale.

My life\’s so boring right now, I\’m actually looking forward to jury duty tomorrow.

AMI BIOS or NOT. Christ, I actually laughed out-loud at this.
