I know Autumn is only a couple weeks away but I might as well start shopping for warmer clothes right now.  To be honest, I love the fall clothing season.  The pastel colours, combined with a warm look, bring out passionate flair that you could otherwise not find in any other season.

Bleh…

Casting my sexy urban lifestyle aside, what could be more cooler than a handmade Mario Brothers scarf to wear on a cool Autumn day?  To remedy this situation, an aspiring knitter from Georgia is using her God given talents to knit a scarf based on the very first level from the legendary video game.

Details notwithstanding, I hope to one day conjure enough courage to produce a scarf based on a video game.  How does a Frogger scarf sound?

In the meantime, you can check out the Mario Scarf Blog to see how the project is doing.  Now I better run off to the bookstore to pick up a Do-It-Yourself handbook on knitting.

The 2015 BMW ZX-6 Concept Car is supposed to be a car of the future?  Um…I hope not.

Maybe I’m getting older.  Perhaps my brain cells are deteriorating beyond a point where I can hardly remember the finer things in life, like fine food or eye catching cars.  Unfortunately, the ZX-6 is an aerodynamic monstrosity that fails to appeal my senses.  Nevertheless, I’ll give BMW credit for pushing the envelope in terms of visionary design.  Too bad they didn’t include any resemblance of good taste with their overall look.

2015 BMW ZX-6: The Hub Caps Look Like a Toilet Bowl Cover

Designed by Jai Ho Yoo and Lukas Vanek, I’m not fully convinced that similar designs will make it on the road by 2015.  Maybe 50 to 100 year from now but do you honestly expect to find a similar design in 7 years?  Call me insane but BMW is really pushing the limit.

Oh well, at least the aerodynamics and integrated hubcaps look pretty interesting.  Just don’t expect to find yours truly driving one of these futuristic Pintos.

Another mini-vacation to California?  Perhaps this weekend I’ll get another chance to relax in the warm L.A. sunshine.  Since I have nothing else on my schedule for the next week, this little trip will come at a very good time.  My previous mini-vacation was a lot of fun, so why not do it again?

In the meantime, I’ll try surfing around for plane tickets later tonight.  Imaginary Diva and I will make a final decision within the next 24 hours.

Here’s a sneak peek into my home office.  As you can tell by the picture, I’m a pretty simple guy with basic needs.

Overall, running a home based business has some pretty good perks.  I get to wake up in the morning without dressing up for work.  There’s no boss peering over my shoulder nor do I have any corporate deadlines to meet.

I have no regrets leaving the so-called corporate rat race.  Now I run my own race by reaping the fruits of my labor.
