Simmons launching at the ProSolo Championship against The Jeff Kiesal machine, this dude is Sponsored by Goodyear. I wish you guys could see this thing run live its ridiculous. I think Simmons had a 6 second head start.

I kept thinking that I would have woken up the next morning a little embarrassed if I were that guy. He approached me when I was packing up and was more or less the same was. I presume he was sober considering we just got in from a session that he was instructing in.

I waited in line for 15 min to pick up my AT&T iPhone 5 at the Apple store in KOP...my bill was just as normal. Should've gone with AT&T instead of Verizon.

I thought Kimi started further back than that in 05'. Could have sworn he was in the twenties... Oh, well.

14, I should have known that... yes the race was at Fuji not Suzuka (which is owned by honda).

Interesting! I checked my cellular usage just now and over the last week I downloaded 14gigs. Good think my plan is unlimited. I use my phone a lot but I don't think 14gigs in a week. My wife's phone had barely any usage.

I turned off the automatically sending of info to apple.
