“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.“
     -–George R.R. Martin

Today, I’d like to expand on that theme a bit.

I have learned over the years that most people fall into one of three categories:

Human ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. I can’t even conceive of some of the creations people can come up with, let alone build them myself.

I really enjoy seeing someone take a normal, everyday object and transform it into something completely different.

Watch the short video below and you’ll see a man take a normal full-sized car and turn it into a vehicle that he can barely fit inside of. It’s different, it’s cute and it’s apparently street-legal! Check it out.  [Read more…]
