various solitaire "challenges" (predetermined card-layout, randomly generated)... fun to waste a few minutes if you want :) ... Klondike, draw-1, go through the deck as much as you like, no undo.
finished this one yesterday, forgot to post it until now. i think it came out much better than my first desk, don't you? (this one is my desk at work... i sketched out the shape/dimensions at work, and made the model at home) the "black" sections are supposed to be a shiny-looking metal, but there was no matching material in SketchUp (even after adding the materials bonus pack)... and since i was neither motivated, nor properly equipped, to attempt to take a picture of the surface of the desk to make at texture with, i cropped out a piece of another picture (the back of a PSP, actually), to use instead
Although I have been known to proclaim the heart-felt joys of Podcasts for some time now, I generally do not suggest any particular one (other than suggesting new ones for people already "in the know", on occasion). I am now making an exception to that. Brave Men Run , a podiobook by Matthew Wayne Selznick, is the best audiobook I believe I have ever listened to. And, since podiobooks are the best thing to happen to podcasts since XML, I think it's my favorite podcast of all time! And I've only heard 3 episodes so far!

It has a dark grey interior, is quite spacious inside, and came with 6 free months of Sirius satellite radio! I am quite happy to report that it has an auxiliary audio jack, so I no longer need a cassette adapter to listen to my mp3 player! And of course, it has power windows, locks, power drivers seat, etc...

And no, you can't drive it (at least, not yet).
