This truck is phenomenal. There's so much pure awesomeness here it's hard to capture with a single photo, but I had to try.
Here's a list off a whiteboard at work. It's the "Carter list of Planning Firmness" - from Dan Carter the awesome PM.
1. Prayer (hopeless wish)
2. Sand (known but not firm)
2a. dry
2b. wet
3. Swamp (disappears when you look away)
4. [ elided due to argument ]
5. Tarmac (firm until things heat up)
6. Concrete (lasts for eons unless attacked by acid)

On a related note, since the Cannondale foul weather tights I had xmas-listed became completely unobtainable around christmastime, j3n was on the lookout and found a pair of these Sugoi Subzero Zap tights on clearance at REI yesterday.

Currently the only options are "Yes" and "No"; the feature I'm requesting is to detect that the inserted CD is by Jon Spencer Blues Explosion and, if so, add a "HELL YEAH" option.
