Magnus Walker’s 911 Porsche

Man, I’ve been so behind on blog posts. I didn’t even get to do my favorite post of the week, “Fast Friday”.

Anyway, here are some photos of a 911 I’d love to own one day.

Might just have to get an antique, just to avoid taxes. Man, personal property tax sucks in Virginia.

My Rock Skipping

I started skipping rocks randomly this weekend while Annie and I were hiking.

This first video shows a rock curving during mid skip.

This video shows a nice clean throw.

I’m going to have to start collecting some more rocks to skip. ^_^ Thanks Annie for filming—I never knew rock skipping could be so entertaining.

Sim Racing with GT5 + Fanatec

So I finally pulled the trigger on a virtual racing rig at home. It’s a pretty sweet setup by Fanatec.

Does it feel like a real car? It doesn’t have the “seat-of-the-pants” feel, but you get a ton of feedback through the steering wheel. It’s definitely fun. I might have to get an actually seat and a better shifter in the future.

I’ve already learned a bunch from Sim Racing… like picking the right line, controlling the balance of the car, steering with throttle, and making corrections through the steering wheel. Sadly, I still suck at heel-toe. x_X

PS. GT6 is coming out soon.
