Way off topic: Music and movies

17. September 2007

(nothing says “off topic” like a golfing moose) Just because I figure SOMEONE will appreciate it, I wanted to list a couple of useful tools and one badass movie trailer for something to hit in May 2008. First, let’s talk music. If you are like me, you love music and are always hunting for something […]

While visiting VespaMaintenance.com, I found Richard Hoar’s pretty comprehensive checklist of tools he brings on the road with him.
