New Press Release

With Google logging more than 2 billion searches per day the web has become an integral part of most businesses, even businesses that have been around for many years are having to build a presence on the web to continue to grow their business. Growing a web presence as many know is not an easy process and finding the correct company to design and manage a program is probably more complicated than ever. With what seems to be an endless supply of so called web designers how does one pick the right one?

Well UNIQUE Advertising Solutions + Graphic Design makes that choice a little bit easier. They have broken the traditional web design company mold with in-house financing. With a partial payment to start and payments as low as $100 per month it has never been more affordable to have a professionally built website. UNIQUE does a lot of things differently, with roots as a marketing company there is a solid understanding of advertising works. Building a successful website is far more than simply making a cool design.

A website is nothing more than a sales tool, sometimes that tool drives customers to a physical store or restaurant and sometimes it closes the sale before the user leaves the website. These variables are extremely important. A website should drive it’s users to the website owners ultimate goal, whatever that may be. To make that happen the web designer needs to have a solid grasp on marketing to specific demographics, and this is something UNIQUE thrives at.
With UNIQUE’s in-house financing programs and their unique out of the box style they are an affordable and solid web design solution for any business that is trying to build a web presence

Lunar Eclipse Dec 10, 2011

As most everyone already knows we had a Lunar Eclipse this morning, unfortunately it was not visible to us on the east coast but thanks to www.slooh.com I was able to watch it real time this morning at 8am. With the slooh feed I was able to take screen shots of the eclipse and then put them into a video stream to take the entire 3 hour eclipse and turn it into a couple minute long video. I did switch from the Singapore observatory to the Eastern Australiann observatory during totallity, as it was a better view than the Singapore observatory. I did not get the second half as it is the same as the first half just reversed. This will be the last Lunar Eclipse till 2014, so enjoy.

 

FYI www.slooh.com has almost weekly events that they feature on their site, for example in 5 days they have a meteor hunt show. Might be worth checking out if you are into astronomy.

 

 

 

There was even a UFO sighting during the Eclipse, I can’t speak for it’s validity but it does look odd.

 

 

 

Horsepower has changed a lot over the past years…

As a kid I read nearly every car magazine or book I could get my hands on, and memorized every car spec I could.  As a grown up, nothing has really changed except it’s not magazines and books, now its YouTube and automotive blogs but that’s not all that’s changed.  When I was a kid my dream car was a Lamborghini Countach, which had a 5.1 liter v-12 that cranked out 455 HP which at the time was huge.  The US did not have a viable counterpart but the closest thing was the Corvette, which had a 5.7 liter v8 that put out a pitiful 245 HP.  But in the US 245 HP was a sports car. 

If you take the muscle cars of the past and look at the horsepower ratings they are a bit disappointing by today’s standards:

1969 camaro
Camaro Z/28 – 290 HP
340 mopar
Mopar 340 – 275 HP
boss 302
Mustang Boss 302 – 290 HP

Now let’s take a look at a few modern day “family cars”

maxima
Nissan Maxima -290 HP
taurus
Ford Taurus – 400 HP
genesis
Hyundai Genesis – 429 HP

 

 

As you can see the Horsepower of yesterday’s muscle cars is the same as the family sedan of today. That of course is understandable with technology advancements.

When I was younger I built many very fast cars, most notable were a few Toyota Supra twin turbos.  Taking a stock 276 HP Supra and removing the twin turbo setup, then adding a single big turbo we could get 900 HP which at the time was insane.  This was early 2000’s and today just a mere 10 years later a 1500 HP turbo car is not unusual.   Underground Racing in Charlotte is cranking out 1500 HP Lamborghini Gallardos left and right, and they are reliable cars that are driven on the street. I just saw a video yesterday about a new Nissan GTR that broke into the 8 sec realm, with more than 1500 HP, again a street car which is mind blowing. 

900 HP Supra
1500 HP gallardo
2000
2011

 

So 20 years ago a 500 HP Lambo was the holy grail, then a 900 HP supra, and now 1500 HP lambos, and GTRs.  I’m just curious where are we going to be in 10 more years, will the family minivan be loaded with a 500 hp motor and the sports cars cranking out 2000+ on the street? I sure hope so….
