Nitro RC Cars
I have decided I need a new hobby, and to that end I am delving into the world of Nitro RC cars. Nitro is short for nitromethane as these remote control cars are power by gas (nitro) engines. They can reach speeds of 70+MPH, this is real speed, not scale speed so you need room to let them run around. You can see the pictures by following the link below.

Halo - Bungie Studios
The Halo series as you well know has been a large part of my life for a few years now. While I enjoy video games and such this game has a very active community behind it. Bungie studios has an excellent way of interacting with their fans that encourages the community to give back songs and videos about the series. They have fleshed out the Halo world to the point it's becoming like the beginnings of Star Wars. There are three soon to be four books that further flesh out the Halo universe as well and adds more of a background than one could put in a video game.
To this end I help with the bandwidth load for videos from the halo series, both fan created and videos from Bungie Studios. It's not much but I like to think I'm doing my part to help the community. All this can be found on the HBO Mirror Page. Feel free to look around at the creative genius of the Halo community. For all news that is Halo or relates to it I highly recommend Halo.Bungie.Org as a place to start.
