I've actually been on RTM Mango for quite some time now, but a recent offhanded mention with no real interest behind it prompted me to prove my status as fully released Windows Phone 7.5. Two months ago I installed the developer preview and so far the only difference I can find in the RTM is the phone now says Windows 7.5 instead of WP7_5_Trial for the version. I'm absolutely thrilled to be running the latest of the 3rd most popular mobile OS with less than 10% market share. I look forward to the day when Mango officially releases to the public and it skyrockets to 11%.

I'm confused, how does this pertain to the iPhon5? Stavos
I did not feel the earthquake. A few people in Detroit and most of my east coast friends claimed they did, but apparently Livonia is impervious to such natural disasters. Despite my frequent trips to California I've never felt one there either. I'm beginning to think it's some elaborate hoax because I've yet to experience one. Enorym's theory of HAARP related testing is much more plausible as you can measure the output from that array with respect to the claimed earthquakes.
After concluding my ASUS G50V was merely an impulse buy I had no actual use for it, it was sent back to the eBay it came from. This left me with a spare 60GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD to benchmark on my primary system. While my Win7 performance index went from a 6.9 to a 7.2, the benchmark only noticed a 2 MB/s improvement. Amazingly my RAID still holds it's own against the current SSD drives. Should I make the mistake of buying another 60GB SSD I'll of course RAID them and undoubtedly beat the crap out of it.

But Bill Gates rates standard moving hdds as a max of 5.9 and only allows SSDs to get a higher rating on the win7 benchmark test. And whatever Job's says we do! Unless you own a mac, than we just drink the koolaid. Stavos
After months of scheduling, the day finally arrived. The day we sail with the Morlocks. A threat of rain almost cancelled our adventure, but since we all live life on the edge we took the risk. It paid off big time, with the rain holding off long enough for a 30 cross sail. Cross being the length of time to play Sailing by Christopher Cross, of which I played it 30 times consecutively while shirtless and proud.

If it only took months to schedule with them it will take us years. They're more busy than the Tigerbomb's now! Yarrrrrrrr Stavos
It was easily the most glorious day of my life.... MorlockPrime
After Robbie coerced me into installing a new exhaust system, I was left with the crappy tips that came with the kit and different lengths of endpipe that the included ones
did not adjust to well. Continuing my mistake, I took Robbie with me to pick out new ones, and he of course suggested the largest and most expensive, but they did claim to "resonate"
the exhaust and make it a bit quieter, so I went with it. They turned out better than I hoped and barely stick out at all. Now I'm officially fart canned up.

We dont' take kindly to you type-R fanboy's around these parts boy! You do have a pretty exhaust lip though! Stavos
To my utter shock, Lisa actually washed the brand new car I bought for her today.
You can witness the amazement on the GnomeCam before she moved to the side of the house
after realizing the hose nozzle was busted. While I was forbidden to help in any way, I was allowed to hold Lila so she could also
witness this historic event.
Sassypants turned 30 today which means she no longer has any trade-in value. I've already come to terms with this after the baby came out and
significantly reduced her resale value. Fortunately she's been a good investment so far and at this point it's just cheaper to keep her.
Our celebration of her decrease in blue book value began with a Red Lobster adventure
followed by the typical shenanigans that automatically occur when groupings of our friends happen. The evening rounded out with some BF3 Alpha action for
the guys and the girls talking about babies and vaginas or whatever it is they do.

Sassy to the 30th degree! And no mention of the floor mats! I'm unsubscribing from this newsletter. Stavos
Despite my best efforts, my neighbors obsession with modifying his car has spread and I've caught the disease. Regretting my switch to a stock exhaust on my Cougar, I found a $200 Pacesetter kit someone was probably glad to finally get out of their warehouse. A few nights of soaking in WD40 and the exhaust bolts were ready to come off, at which point Robbie and I made the swap. Thankfully it's not nearly as loud as my original flowmaster setup, but I also didn't notice any significant power gains. Hopefully I'm now immune to the modification insanity or I'll end up with body graphics plastered on my poor car.
