http://www.gregterzian.com Mon, 26 Jul 2010 10:23:42 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've been involved in working on getting the new Scream And Fly home page launched for a long time now.  That, along with the other work involved in running the site keeps me in front of a computer for most of the day.  I needed a way to give myself ... http://www.gregterzian.com/2010/06/rc-helicopters-a-new-addiction/ http://www.gregterzian.com/2010/02/what-is-this-and-why/ Right now, short course trucks are all the rage in radio control.  I'm not exactly sure why - maybe it's the realistic looks of them.  Short course trucks don't typically have the wide, opened-wheeled characteristic look of RC trucks, which certainly adds to the appeal of realism.  While HPI started ... http://www.gregterzian.com/2010/01/hpi-blitz-short-course-rc-truck/ I was very young when the 'new generation' 1984 Corvette made its debut, but I still remember the hype it generated.  Even in elementary school, I remember kids talking about it - it was the quintessential 1980s tech-gadget showcase of design.  That's why I like the C4 Corvette so much ... http://www.gregterzian.com/2009/12/1984-the-new-generation-corvett/ Everyone has something that fights them in their lives -- something that relentlessly antagonizes them.  For me, one of those things are network routers.  That may sound silly, but since the majority of my work is conducted over the internet, a router is a very important part of my daily ... http://www.gregterzian.com/2009/11/network-routers-the-bane-of-my-existance/ When I was younger I had a lot of fun with radio controlled vehicles - what kid didn't?  Up until recently, I haven't paid much attention to them.  It's not that I had no real interest, it's more because my life was filled with so many other activities that I ... http://www.gregterzian.com/2009/11/hpi-racing-baja-5t-size-does-matter/ I'll keep this post pretty short, but I was compelled to make a record of my first impressions of the new two-stroke Yamaha 15-horsepower outboard engine.  It's just a small outboard, right?  Yeah, it is - but I've always liked very small boats and motors since they can literally go ... http://www.gregterzian.com/2009/11/yamaha-15-horsepower-outboard-surprises-me/ I've owned several Carolina Skiff J-series boats over the years.  They are inexpensive, utilitarian boats that are designed to serve a simple purpose - a basic boat that's supposed to be tough and low-maintenance. Overall, Carolina Skiff makes a decent boat for the price.  When you look at the insane prices ... http://www.gregterzian.com/2009/10/carolina-skiff-jv13-a-better-boat-than-the-j-series/ Kawasaki introduced the 2010 Ninja ZX-6R and although it's still considered the best middleweight Super Sport bike by most publications, it remains largely unchanged from the 2009 model. This isn't surprising, given the current downturn in sales, Kawasaki probably wanted to play things safe. The same story goes ... http://www.gregterzian.com/2009/10/kawasaki-news-2010-zx6r/ A few days ago I had this need to get out of the house, but I didn't know what I wanted to do.  I spend way too much time in front of my computer, so I've been making a concerted effort to pull myself away from it for my own ... http://www.gregterzian.com/2009/10/yamaha-ttr-50-the-ultimate-pit-bike/
