My new car

I am the proud owner of a new car!
A true Chevrolet Corvette C6R !
This car has lots of horsepower with its 7.0-liter V-8! And it was very successful at the race track this year.
Too bad it’s not a real full size car, but a 2005 Chevrolet Corvette C6R #4 Laguna SECA Winner diecast model .
I like it anyway :)
I was the proud winner of this car at this year’s TechEd in Barcelona
There was a raffle at the Compuware booth, and I was the lucky winner.
I-Top
· 2005-09-27 18:41 by Thijs Kroesbergen for
I got this cool toy for my birthday!
It’s called an i-top and it’s the modern (geeky?) edition of the ancient spinning top.
This new version has a row of 8 led’s onboard, and by turning these leds on and off very quickly while spinning several games can be played.
Games:
Top This Mode… Spin the top and get the highest score. Compete against your friends or just beat your own high score.
Match Top Mode… The i-Top gives you a target and you have to spin the top to stop it as close to the number as possible.
Top Speed Mode… Spin the i-Top as fast as you can to get the highest RPM (revolutions per minute). Watch the i-Top record your speed.
Mystic Top Mode… Ask a question and watch the i-Top give you a response to your yes/no question. Over 30 different responses!
Hidden Mode:
The I-Top even has a hidden mode! And this is how you activate the hidden mode (also called secret mode):
Turn the I-top on, and select mode 1
Press and hold PLAY and MODE simultaniously
Hold for about 2-3 seconds, then release both buttons.
Led 1-8 will light up shortly to tell you that the hidden mode has been activated, and then mode 1 will stay blinking.
To return to the regular mode press the play button.
Have fun with your I-Top!
