I’ve Lost Objectivity Since We Dry-Humped On The Couch Last Friday
Posted on March 3, 2005
Racing continues. Still on the same track, the wonderful La Colina raceway. I’m sort of starting to get tired of racing the same track over and over, but I’m much improved from where I was a week ago. Before I started working with Jesse, I thought 1:27.500 was a good laptime and now I’m disappointed if I don’t get at least 1:25.500. I’ve cracked 1:24 twice so far and I’ll be quite happy when I can turn those laptimes consistently. Once I can get it down to 1:23, I think we can move on to another track. Laguna Seca was mentioned as being the next track to master. That’d be fun. More work to master than La Colina, surely, but if I can do the corkscrew at the proper speed, there’s probably not another corner I can’t do.
About a week and a half ago, my dad discovered a deal on a 17″ LCD monitor (a Samsung 710N-2 for $225 from chiefvalue.com - seems to be another site run by Newegg) and ordered one. When it got here, I was impressed with it and went ahead and ordered one of my own. He got the ivory model and I got the black. They both look sharp and the display is very nice indeed. Especially for the price. $225 for a 17″ LCD with 1280×1024 resolution, .26something dot-pitch, 600:1 contrast ratio, and best of all, 12ms response time. Yay for very little ghosting even when I’m tearing down the hill at La Colina at 180mph. Since I’ve fixed the site so I can put pictures inline, here’s a factory photo of the monitor…
So there it is. Looks quite nice, although that picture doesn’t really do it justice. It looks hot sitting on my desk. I’ll have to take a better picture and post that up here for peoples to see. I like showing off my new toy, hehe.
I guess that’s about all the news for now. Enjoy.
