As you are probably aware, I am a little obsessed with cars at the moment. I want a car. No, scratch that, I need a car. Big time. Given a perfect scenario I would like a nice car. Not just any car, a really, really nice car. One of those 'exotic' ones that has been lovingly restored or built from the ground up. Yes, they are expensive but they're pretty dang amazing as well.

I have found the perfect place to fit out the perfect car with high performance car parts - for Lexus, Lamborghini and Ferrari and other high performance vehicles.














From personal experience I have been for a two and a half hour journey in a Ferrari once before. Granted, they have very little back seat room but I remember being stuck to the seat by gravity for most of the journey. I can see why people buy them if they happen to have the money.

The company, 'In Sixth Gear' also offers a door to door car customization service and loads of ideas for sprucing up your car. The site also features GPS tracking systems (for those of you who travel in style without a sense of direction), wheels and tires, engine parts to headlights and fog lights. This site is likely to appeal to those who enjoy racing cars, high performance luxury cars and motoring enthusiasts who enjoy "fixing up" various models.

Charlie Brown Soft Toy

This is just cute. I used to read a lot of Charlie Brown as a kid and I think my favourite character was Schroeder. He reminded me of me when I used to practice the piano and didn't want to be distracted. Lucy used to annoy the crap out of me. I'm convinced she was based on a real person...


















Petrified Wood - Limb

This is one of those gifts for the person who has everything - except for a petrified wood limb. If I decided to start a collection, I would have displays of crystals, fossils and various other oddities. It's called being eccentric.





















Donnie Darko Original Soundtrack - Score featuring "Mad World"

Most people I know have an opinion on this movie. It is one of those films that is hard to define and even harder to quantify. The soundtrack was also an important feature of this film - if you ask me, many films would be less than great if not for the score.


















Obama "We did it" Guitar Picks

It's amazing how many Obama items are for sale throughout the internet. This is a new age, a new era where the US president can move merchandise in such a manner.
The last US president seemed to fare less well...

Except perhaps for the sales of George W Bush dartboards...

I recently got my first ad offer for Twittad - the new Twitter advertising platform. It will be interesting to see how it goes (and of course I'm looking forward to getting paid!)

Twittad works like this:

• Twitter member signs up for Twittad
• Twittad advertisers place requests to advertise on member's Twitter page
• Twitter member accepts (or declines) ad
• Twitter member gets paid and the end of the advertising run (eg. 7 days, 14 days etc.)

The ad will replace your Twitter background for the duration of the advertising run. Here is a demonstration using my Twitter page as an example:

Before Twittad:



















During Twittad advertising period:



















After the advertising period your Twitter page reverts to its normal appearance. I have no idea how this Twittad thing is going to perform for both Twitter users and advertisers - what do you think?

If you are interested you can sign up here to join Twittad.
