So I found out my backup portable harddrive crashed. About half my files are now corrupt. Going through what's left, I had a bit of nostalgia. As you guys are the closest thing I have to family, I thought I'd share.
The lead picture was during my first night flight. Back when I used to talk to my parents about more than money, business, or planning the one time a year we see each other. We were flying down to Mississippi to visit my grandparents.
This was during my brief dabbling into photography and graphic design. The building has since been demolished, and the car was totaled years ago.
Here's an old picture of me, doing some work in DC. Unlimited free alcohol at the Library of Congress. Nothing quite like sipping a gin and tonic while checking out the Gutenberg Bible.
Back to car-related: The (actual) reason why I don't let anyone borrow my car.
When I first moved to Arizona, and bought my first Miata.
It's been a crazy couple of years. Since 2010, I've re-prioritized my life and cut out the parts that were holding me back. I've completely lost or cut contact with everyone I knew. I hardly associate with my family (save for an annual visit and the occasional phone call). I've accomplished more than most people around my age, and I'm sure I've failed more than most as well.
But you all have always stayed the same. Thanks, Oppo.

Very poignant.
Sweet miata, looks really clean.
LOL at the dildo shifter... One of my friends did that by choice. We weren't friends for long.

Thanks. The miata was fun. I want another. As for the shift knob: my friend who took mine left for a week with my shift knob in his pocket. Worst. Week. Ever.

how difficult was it to shift with that thing? I can only surmise, considering how soft and rubbery that dildo looks, it must not have provided much of a structure to grasp. also you might want to put an nsfw tag on this, I can see how some people would be offended by that dildo

Honestly? Get a firm grip at the base. But avoid quick shifts, as you WILL switch your A/C to recirculating.
...5 years and I still remember.

What are you driving now?
Those shifters are horrible. I got to drive a turbo s2k with a dildo shifter and it just made the experience so bad. The perfect throws of the s2k were ruined.

And no, it wasn't a big comical shift knob. It was legitimately an 8" rubber dildo that my friends poked a hole in and shoved onto my shifter.

good advice on regular dildo technique I suppose.

Ahh man, that's a bitter lesson to learn. Don't rely on a portable HD for sole point of storage. Anything that's portable should be a copy. But I guess that doesn't really need repeating now.

Well, "external" is a better word I guess. It's a full sized, 1.5TB drive in an enclosure. Even has a little fan.
