- 2005 MINI Cooper Lug Bolt Torque Specifications
I had another flat tire today. Skip to the bottom if you just need information on the lug bolts BMW uses on the 2005 MINI Cooper. Or, read ahead to hear how difficult it was for me to find this information on the Internet! Anyways, as always, the tire pressure sensor indicator lit up before I knew anything was wrong. I carefully drove into a parking lot, took out the tire pressure gauge I carry in the trunk and measured 16 psi. Note to those of you who do not regularly check your tire pressures: the tire should measure 30 psi (when cool not after being driven) and it did not visibly look flat nor even low on air.
... - Accepted Into The iPhone Developer Program
Finally! I have been working on an iPhone application with the company that one of my mentor's (I hope he'll let me call him that) started. We applied to the iPhone Developer Program a while back but were not accepted into the initial batch of developers. That could have been a blessing in disguise. We have learned a thing or two from watching some of the first application developers make mistakes with pricing, execution, and simply having to deal with Apple's SDK.
... - A Little Social Network Rant
If you know me, you are probably familiar with my stance on Facebook. In fact, I probably was the person that urged you to join that social network just shortly before it exploded in popularity (at least here in Toronto). You were most likely puzzled when I quit more than a year ago. Today, most people look at me like a luddite when I tell them I'm not on Facebook. Certainly, I feel like those people that still don't own a cellphone. To say I'm outnumbered is an understatement.
