But that's how much was raised by RM Auctions at Monrovia, California on Saturday. Enthusiasts from all over North America had the opportunity to pay tribute to Joe and purchase a piece of the state's renowned car culture as 50 historic motor cars, 25 vintage motorcycles and a range of selected memorabilia from Joe's Garage went on the block.

These four words can turn a road trip into road kill. That said, come summer, many families will be taking road trips as a means of cutting the high cost of air travel. Fortunately, author Trefoni Michael Rizzi can show you that getting there really can be half the fun. He's driven across the United States on numerous occasions, and suggests that parents make each stop along the way an exciting ......... ]]> http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2008/the-higher-costs-of-single-living.php http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2008/the-higher-costs-of-single-living.php Mon, 19 May 2008 00:20:45 GMT Being single can mean many things: fun, spontaneity, independence, loneliness, and even higher living costs. A new article from the Guardian UK says "Who Can Afford to Be Single Now"? It talks about a subject that many married people just don't seem to get, that being alone means you have to handle the bills yourself. That often means higher energy bills, food bills, and then there's that little detail of paying to go out in order to meet someone ......... ]]> http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2008/will-the-web-20-bubble-burst.php http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/5-2008/will-the-web-20-bubble-burst.php Mon, 19 May 2008 00:12:20 GMT A video about the Web 2.0 conference in San Francisco predicts that their will be another tech bubble burst in the near future.

Part one is about how I read things in the news that really set me off, like this grand piece of stupidity from CNN: Moms'' new battle: The food price bulge.

Now at first glance this seems to be a cheery little story about how moms have found ways to save money and slash their grocery store shopping, but it''s really once again a glorification of poverty, from those who wouldn''t know poor if it bit them in the ass.

The moms in this story grow their own herbs and veggies (meaning they probably own their own home, since few apartments come with ......... ]]> http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/projjex-easy-collaboration.php http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/projjex-easy-collaboration.php Wed, 23 Apr 2008 22:24:44 GMT In the old form of web, it was hard to collaborate with our collegues easily and efficiently. When we worked on an article, we had to send our version to the other collaborators via e-mail. They reviewed it, added their own content and sent it back to us. E-mails back and forth. But then Google Docs became the best solution where collaboration is easy and ......... ]]> http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/fossils-of-the-wind.php http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/4-2008/fossils-of-the-wind.php Thu, 10 Apr 2008 02:05:33 GMT If it quacks like a duck… from the Undiscovery Channel on http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/get-creative-with-a-bad-digital-photograph.php http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/get-creative-with-a-bad-digital-photograph.php Mon, 31 Mar 2008 00:35:56 GMT Using a bad digital photograph to make something creative and artistic is an idea that I have plenty of raw material available to work ......... ]]> http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/let-your-worries-go.php http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/3-2008/let-your-worries-go.php Thu, 27 Mar 2008 01:19:54 GMT Financial worries. You may be familiar with the feeling. Northwestern Mutual has a simple solution. Let them go! You can launch your worries to outer space, over land, into the sky, or under water.

Just select your worries, put them in a vehicle, and launch. I know, it''s too simple and it probably won''t help.

The unremitting gray and tan of winter in the Roundrock woods will begin to green, then the first, tiny wildflowers will dare to raise their colorful flowers to the sun. Some will have come out even before the green leaves of the trees. The duckweed will spread across the pond, soon covering the surface with a brilliant green that will mature into a more sober green as the summer progresses. The spring wildflowers will transition to the summer wildflowers. The birds of many colors will appear in the forest (or they have been there all along but ......... ]]> http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2008/safari-wear-for-everyday.php http://www.myblogspan.com/blogs/permalinks/2-2008/safari-wear-for-everyday.php Wed, 13 Feb 2008 00:29:09 GMT Fresh from the runways (savannah) of Africa I present to you a hot new trend for the next coming months, safari wear! Hey, living in NYC is kind of like a safari. You have to hunt for cabs and dodge the wild animals (construction workers), so it works! You don't have to live in the wild to embrace your inner huntress. Think safari jackets, animal prints, wooden bracelets and of course the fierceness of windblown hair! Stick to taupe and khaki and add little pops of color to spice up the ......... ]]>
