The End of Painted Ads on Hotel Figueroa?
A vinyl Target piece was installed over Hotel Figueroa's painted Kung Fu Pandas on December 2nd. Photo by Eric Richardson.
The massive murals on the side of the Hotel Figueroa are famous far beyond Downtown, appearing on TV coverage, films and even as a protest

Viimased uudised Gizmodost: Liquid Image Scuba Series HD320 Diving Video Mask Is Dumbtastic [Diving Camera]
When I go on my diving vacation at the end of this month, I won't be bringing this video mask. Why anyone would like to attach dumb headlights to vital diving gear is beyond me.

2008 Mitsubishi Evolution X MR: Too Slow to Impress the Family?
We'd just finished dinner on Friday night, and my boyfriend turned to me and said, "Let's go for a drive in the MR."
Two of his relatives climbed in the back of our 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution MR. I wanted to impress them, but we were all much too full to go through any tight corners. What a shame. I love the way this car changes direction.
So we found an empty stretch of road and I engaged the launch control -- much easier than it is in most cars with dual-clutch gearboxes. Maybe we've already described it here on the blog, but memory fails me. So, you shut off the stability control, sl...
