Cleaning my car

I've spent quite a bit of time living out of my car - and working construction for a good part of that time.

The last time Karen rode with me, she complained about the smell, which I didn't really notice - probably desensitized to it or something. But it seemed to be making her nauseous or something. And I recently lent the car to some friends who put 2 or 3 air fresheners in there... though I still didn't notice much of a smell.

So I decided to really clean out the car. Right now, it's sitting in the driveway with no seats, no gear selector, several interior panels removed, etc. I've pretty much gutted the interior. I'm going to thoroughly clean all the upholstery and interior panels and run the carpeting through the laundry.

I still haven't decided if I'm going to try to get inside the A/C system and clean that out as well.

Google Page Creator

The goog's page creator is pretty cool. It's still pretty young, so there are a lot of features lacking, but I bet Google will make it more and more awesome as it ages... The Google people are smart/cool like that.

Oh, here's my page: http://qpmarl.googlepages.com

I'm going to move my tech blog over to this page and set it up as individual articles instead of blog posts. Then I'll probably delete my tech blog and maybe freeze qpmarl.blogspot.com and just update this blog, Craziness.

I can draw.

I pretty much just learned how to draw overnight.

Here's a pic I've been practicing on. I started with a photo and started painting in black and white overtop of it. As I've been playing around with it, my skillz have improved - in just a few hours.
