Street Legal Sofas

Say it with me now... "I Am Sofa King We Todd Did." But seriously did you know the current Guiness world record for top speed on furniture is on a street legal sofa? An impressive 87 mph at that - thats almost fast enough for time travel ladies and gentalmen.

Right now you're thinking, alright then - good to know. But wait there's more! "The wonks" at www.sofa.com, a British based online sofa retailer, are building a sofa to beat the existing Furniture Land Speed Record. Reportedly all they need is "someone brave enough, fast enough, daft enough... They need a driver." The best part is you can head over to www.sofa.com, take a guess at how much change they found between the sofa coushions and are keeping inside a glass jar pictured on thier website, and enter to win a weekend of racecar driving, followed by the ultimate prize - drive the sofa for the win!

Indiana vs. Belgium

I just got back from Columbus, Indiana. I was there for about a day and a half on an interview for a full time engineering job with Cummins. The interview went well in my opinion and I should here back from them with an offer by next week.

One of the things that stayed with me the most was the similarity in landscape of Columbus and Belgium. I’ve provided some quick google-image-search results. Like I said, the likeness is incredible.
