Amazon.com offers a small civilian land cruiser / tank for sale.
It houses 5 people, comes complete with vehicular lights, camera, a 6HP Gas engine, and “plush interior”. Ships in 1-2 Months.
Kinda looks like something from Star wars to me, heh.

I guess fame has its price, as most things do in this world. My Windows Vista story managed to land itself on the front page of Digg.com. If you haven’t checked it out yet, it’s a really sleek technology news site that’s immensely community-driven. Unfortunately Slashdot and Digg work in horrendous ways…check out my Awstats reading from the past couple of hours:

Amazing how powerful the Internet can be sometimes. Still, I did manage to get on the homepage of Digg, which is saying something. One story is enough for me for now, I’ll wait ’till things cool off before attempting this again.
Update: My Digg story is now on the third page, so I hope traffic will dwindle. I thought I’d provide an update, though. My story ended up getting over 700 Diggs consuming 50 Gigabytes of bandwith. That’s just this month, too, on average, people only use 2-3 GB/mo. Too much excitement for me, next time I submit a story, I won’t try as hard to get it to the front page.
