Ergonomic Workspace Planner, Workstation Installation Tool

April 5th, 2009

Off and on, I’ve been curious how my workspace stacks up in the ergonomics area.

Flying Lizards take top GT2 spot at St. Petersburg

April 4th, 2009

Congratulations to the Flying Lizard team! The #45 Porsche 911 GT2, driven by Patrick Long and Jörg Bergmeister, take the top spot at today’s ALMS race at St. Petersburg. The Flying Lizard team was able to keep the car in the running, while many other participants fell out due to various technical difficulties.

P.S. Good to see BMW do so well, especially after the challenges they experienced at Sebring a few weeks ago. Great show!

MindRaider looks like it just might… Off to the tests…
