So a few years back I used to ride a Yamaha FZR-600R, which was a great first bike. Anyway, I was just thinking back today about how great riding it was and remembered that I used to attach a camera to the bike and record while I rode.

Well, one day I was riding out on one of my favorite roads (Dashpoint in Federal Way, WA) and hit a bird. The crazy thing is that the bird got stuck right in front of the camera! Anyway, a long time ago I put it on YouTube and thought I would share it here as well.

Before you watch the video, you should know the bird was obviously killed and although it isn’t hard for me to watch, it may be hard for you to watch if you don’t have the stomach for a little bird guts.


Now if only I had been recording when I was in my motorcycle accident. That would have been one heck of a video! Anyway, just sharing a little piece of me back in the day! :-)

Anti-Applers Beware

Friday

I’m still amazed at how many people out there despise Apple and their products. The most common thing I hear now is, “It has the same hardware as my computer (Windows/PC), it just costs $1k more.”, which absolutely drives me nuts.

Apple might use the same processor, hard drive, graphics card, etc. but they used the components better than any other computer manufacturer for the price. What gives Apple the edge over the competition? Their operating system and their quality casing designs.

OSX is the best operating system I have ever used. I don’t even have Leopard yet but people love it so far and it blows Vista and XP out of the water (so does Tiger).

Apple is a name that is gaining popularity very quickly. So many friends & family are making the switch and wondering why they hadn’t done so earlier. But this is exactly what Apple users have been saying for awhile now. Switch, it’s better.

Before you think about posting a comment flaming me Mr. Windows user, I DO use both platforms (well, I run XP within OSX :-P ). If you want to be a gamer, either buy a console or get Windows (which can also run on Mac). Now you may flame…

Anyway, the purpose of this post was because while perusing Gizmodo I saw that Apple is now the #3 U.S. computer manufacturer (no surprise). Who is their competition? Dell and HP. Dell is sitting at almost 32% of the market, HP with just over 25%. Then there’s Apple… Apple is sitting at 8.5%.

They have a long ways to go but I don’t think it will take all that long. Apple has had a 38% growth in Mac sales and it’ll continue to grow.

So for all you Apple haters out there! Beware, the day of the Apple is coming! :D
