Cupcake Showdown!

MMM....cupcakes. My fiancé is a semiprofessional cupcake (and the occasional muffin and regular sized cake - oh and she makes good lemon bars - so does that make her a semipro baker??

Bastardizing the BMW M1

The M1 is the epitome of BMW's greatness. I have always wanted one and hope to one day buy a '81. I have hoped that BMW would one day bring back their beloved supercar.

PwnageTool 3.1 Released

PwnageTool 3.1 was just released about thirty minutes ago. I will admit that I have and will always jailbreak my iPhone for as long as I have one (as long as my parents still continue to pay for my AT&T bill).
