Aerial Video of UCSD

I've only been back to campus once since graduating over 10 years ago and it's grown. When I say grown, take that as an understatement! There are so many new buildings and structures that I don't even recognize. Take an aerial tour by watching this awesome video that was just put up on Youtube. The accompanying music is pretty awesome too. One more thing. If you didn't already know, alumni of UCSD can check out the Birch Aquarium for free! Norah loves it!

Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG vs Yamaha R1

A Yamaha R1 topping out at 299 kmh (185.789 mph) trying to catch a a Mercedes-Benz SL63 AMG. Ridiculous speeds, small but open roads. Exhilarating. Of course, this is happening all in Sweden. Guess who pulls away? http://youtu.be/rVY51Q7q0os

Afraid of Riding in the Rain?

Some of you may have heard about the time trials at the Isle of Man, but I was first introduced to it this morning. TT actually stands for Tourist Trophy and the race on the island has actually been taking pace since 1907. These racers are insane, riding Hayabusa motorcycles at speeds of up to 330 km/h (205mph)! Check out this amazing video! http://youtu.be/LU-ynRoqDEs

And there's also this summary of the 2013 time trials here.
