If you drive… or ever drove a Dodge Dynasty, you deserve to be kicked in the nuts. That car sucks SO much.

ClickToFlash
If you know me, you know I love finding new crap on the internet.
One of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time is a Safari plugin called ClickToFlash. If you saw the picture above, you already saw the main purpose, but ClickToFlash is MUCH more than a Flash-blocker, and I’ll explain why in a moment. Trust me, even with a higher-end system with maxed out memory, a page carelessly loaded with 20 or so embedded YouTube videos will still bring your system to it’s knees.
Beyond selectively loading Flash applets (including ANY video sharing site’s player and Flash ads and banners), the sickest feature is that you can automatically bypass Flash all together for YouTube players and go directly to the H.264 version, which even supports HD. No more clunky/choppy/half-loaded videos. If you can play QuickTime, your YouTube experience will automatically be better.
Go to the site and install this now by clicking on the picture above. Best part? It’s FREE!
(Yet another reason to use Safari on a Mac. Booyah.)

1348 - Umphrey’s McGee live at Expo Gardens in Peoria, IL on Saturday, October 10, 2009.
This was the beginning of the band’s second set. That would make this 9 of 18 songs. While you were doing something lame, I was having my face melted.
Pick up the whole show here.

Sam Adams Boston Lager
This is quickly becoming one of my go-to beers. Full bodied taste with distinct hints of toasted grains and citrus. Hops stay long enough to give it a good kick but it finishes smooth. What an amazing (real) American beer.

Ford SYNus Concept
I’ve always had a crazy fascination with concept cars. They’re the ones who someone thought we needed, but weren’t ready for. In the past five years, however, we’ve been introduced to some more alternative designs like the Nissan Cube, Kia Soul, and Toyota FJ Cruiser.
Enter the Ford SYNus concept. Pronounced sin-you-us, not sinus—like I thought and still see. It’s supposed to sound like “synthesis” and sinuous. I was stumbling around Ford’s website looking through ‘current’ concepts and saw this gem. Instead of a rear window, it simply has a big LCD display with a camera outside. According to the Wikipedia entry, it’s based off an armadillo and (in the lower part of the picture) can go into lockdown mode, where the seats turn around and face the TV while simultaneously the bulletproof (yeah) windows are covered by an outershell.
Beyond these eccentric features, I guarantee this thing could easily go into production with today’s tastes.

Just in case you’re wondering (which I know you are), this site looks great on your iPhone. No additional app needed!
