My Mind is Idle, So Are the Thoughts
This is a list of odds and ends I’ve run across in the last few hours.
The debate over the Dale Jr., Carl Edwards deal still rages on in certain parts of the media and blogosphere. It had calmed to a point, then the Edwards penalty was announced and like spontaneous combustion it raged back out of control. But… this reasoning on how it could have been avoided is the most illogical of the bunch. One would hope it was written in a satirical light, but I’m not so sure.
While on the subject, here’s a list of the Top 10 Things Carl Edwards said to Dale Earnhardt, Jr. in Victory Lane Sunday.
This story about another NASCAR lawsuit is all over the wire services and racing sites. I counted 16 different instances, all variations of three wire reports. It only took them two weeks to catch up with the Half-Vast Staff
Six figures on spam? Glad I’m using a lesser know CMS for the Frontstretch! I think I’ve had less than ten spams since I started using Textpattern in February 05. The only reason I used it and not Word Press was because Textpattern can handle multiple writers, otherwise, I’d probably be on Wordpress, which is excellent otherwise, or Joomla.
By the way, did you know they don’t really care if your visitors click on those links? All they want is for Google to see it when your site gets crawled so that their page rank goes up, giving the spammer a higher position on the searches.
Oh yeah! Thanks for the link to the Fronstretch story Marc!

Hi Marc,
My sources, namely me, also feel that the current configuration of the CoT is set in stone - with the odd little 1/4 inch tweaking here and 1/2 inch adjustment there of course.
Hey Marc, next you’ll want a filter to stop annoying posters, like myself, placing comments on your blog.
:-)
I think you wrong 4ever3. As soon as that contraption hits the larger tracks with a full field it’s drawbacks will be fully known.
This latest test had the largest number of cars in at and they divided them inot two groups of roughly 6-7 a piece. That’s hardly a test of anything.
Peter your filter has been in for a long time. That’s why you get the Frog Flag on occasion.
Sorry Marc,
My failed attempt at humour regarding your motorized beer cooler was lost in translation I guess. I think the CoT really needs to be reconsidered, in design but not in concept. We must remember that the reason behind all of this is saftey, and no matter what else that is what the car must be about in the end.
