Chevy is reintroducing the ZR1, it'll have over 600 horsepower, and be ridiculously fast. The price? If you have to ask...but really, it'll probably be over $100G. 2008-04-13T23:36:23-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=105 Sorry for the lack of updates--I took this picture at the Chicago Auto Show a couple of months ago.

About a year ago I had taken a <a href="/index.cgi?id=6";picture of this during the summer</a;, a co-worker challenged me to take the same photo during the winter. 2007-12-08T17:49:10-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=104 I took this while I was shivering on the roof of my condo; I wanted to wait until we got some snow.

You decide. (Taken in Maryland). 2007-09-19T10:44:30-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=103 A pile of junk or a tech geek's dream? You decide.

It's so hard to tell. 2007-08-15T12:28:40-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=102 At the Wisconsin State Fair. Is Mark really scared, or is he faking?

Somehow he knows when you're trying to take a picture of him, and gets a little shy. 2007-08-13T17:11:11-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=101 This was taken a few years ago; Charlie still looks the same, though.

The goal here is to cut the log in half without removing a toe. 2007-08-10T10:30:25-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=99 At the Wisconsin State Fair, these butch (but strikingly thin) women show off their logging abilities.

That's a stage you can see way at the far end of the park. <br /;<br /; To sum up the bands (somewhat cribbed from twitter): Pete Yorn boring. Silverchair ok. Tapes n Tapes pretty cool. Cold War Kids kind of blah. Motion City Soundtrack good though a bit generic. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah not too bad. Matt and Kim like new White Stripes... Not sure about Matt's vocals though. Hold Steady ok, needs melody. Snow Patrol and Regina Spektor awesome. Interpol and Muse totally fucking awesome. 2007-08-08T21:17:23-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=98 Here's another shot of the big crowd at the show.

I didn't see Muse though--I was watching the great Interpol show on the other side of Grant Park. Both bands put on fantastic performances. 2007-08-05T14:40:27-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=97 Ok that's the end of the Japan pics.

You can see Aliza here at the Imperial Palace garden, with the city in the background. 2007-08-01T16:39:44-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=96 It's so humid and rainy in Japan, bright green moss was growing on the cement.

But the big Budda is the only thing that has feet big enough to wear these. 2007-07-31T11:11:37-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=95 Ok I have no idea if these are for Budda (I couldn't read the description).

Young folks who like to dress up like, well, kind of a cross between Robert Smith and Betty Boop. The website at the top is actually www.takeshitadori.jp, though with it cut off it looks more like something I need to do after I've had my morning oatmeal. 2007-07-26T21:52:03-0600 http://www.didomenico.us/index.cgi?id=91 Harajuku is a section of town with a lot of shops where the younger folks hang out.
