I came across this extremely funny article this morning on Chaos Magnet. Now, beware, you must put your “Geek-Hats” on to appreciate this. Some students at MIT have created a program to generate CS (that’s Computer Science for those non-geeks) papers and had one of their papers accepted to a conference. Here is a small blurb from their website:

SCIgen is a program that generates random Computer Science research papers, including graphs, figures, and citations. It uses a hand-written context-free grammar to form all elements of the papers.

Take a look at this stuff here:

Mustang project

Well, I started diggin into my pony last night. I pulled out the spark plugs and loosened all the bolts holding the exhaust manifolds on. But I haven’t pulled those off yet. I just wanted to make sure the bolts will come off easily. During that process, I realized that I didn’t have new bolts to put my hedders on. So I went and checked the Summit website and found out that my Hedman Hedders were supposed to come with the bolts to mount the hedders to the heads, but they didn’t. I gave Summit a call. I must give their customer service an A+ because they are shipping out the bolts right away and I should have them tomorrow. I didn’t expect them to fix it that fast, but they did.

Anyway, things are progressing. If I remeber, I’ll snap some pictures of my progress and put them up. That’s it for now.
