Updated my NASCAR and Weather pages, and it’s June 6th

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

Just a real quick note to mention that I’ve updated my NASCAR and Weather pages to include some additional links and Twitter resources.

June 6th.. well, not only is today D-Day, it’s also my B-Day. I turn 40 today! ACK! 8-O

The following music video also mentions the date June 6th:

Convoy

Yeah.. that’s about all I have to say for now LOL. I’m tired. :)

Updated My NASCAR Inspired DestroyTwitter Theme

Saturday, April 4th, 2009

I have corrected my DestroyTwitter theme which was inspired by the colors in the NASCAR.COM logo. The theme requires at least version 1.4.4beta of DestroyTwitter and now works properly with DestroyTwitter’s new theme management system that was introduced in version 1.4.6beta. I have also modified the colors used in some places. The main difference being the scrollbar that is now red when there is nothing to scroll and green when there is. In any event you’ll want to re-download this updated one if you have been using it. I have also placed the theme on DestroyTwitter’s Theme section

Enjoy! :)

NASCAR page updated with 2009 Driver Standings

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Now that NASCAR has updated their site,  my NASCAR page has been updated to show the 2009 Official and Unofficial driver standings. I have added Mark Martin’s graphics as well since he’s replaced Dale Jared as one of my top 3 active drivers. :)

Not sure which was more exciting, the Daytona 500 or following all the Twitter action that was occuring at the same time. One thing is for sure though, having a rain-shortened, anti-climatic race sucks. Congrats to Matt Kenseth for winning the Daytona 500. He’s cool. :)
