I read this article a few weeks ago and I keep coming back to read it over and over.  This morning I finally decided to take the leap go all verby on my home screen.

Here is the result:

I went back and forth on if I was going to enter the 2012 iRacing.com Daytona 500 and then I finally decided that, I was, in fact going to.  I decided to since they updated the track surface to what it is now.  The old track surface was very bumpy and rough.  Very hard to drive a Cup car on.

Here is my ride:

Now usually I don’t have sponsors on my car but I decided to put The Dale Jr. Foundation on this car.  I think the car looks real good!

I ran about 50 laps last night in the open Practice sessions on the iRacing server and my car is fast.  Of course I’m not sure how fast I’ll be against the guys in my split but my car was fast as anyone I ran with.  I was able to run up high or down low and make moves in traffic.

The race starts at 5pm Local on Saturday.  It will be 500 miles.  Hopefully we have a pretty clean race and not too many cars are caught up in wrecks.  Should be fun!

In the latest episode of Triangulation Leo and Tom talk to Anil Dash who some have called a protoblogger.

In the episode Mr. Dash says we should be blogging more in 2012, instead of posting on G+ or FB.  His reasoning is sound: Why put your content up on a site where you don’t have complete control over it?  G+ could close tomorrow, FB could delete your account.

While those services are great for engagement I think that really original content should be posted on ones blog, or if you hate that term, website. I’m going to try to blog more this year.  I hope I’m able to.
