Blast From the Past

Posted by on December 26, 2009 No comments

With the new year arriving and a new site update on the way (stay tuned), I decided to get nostalgic and take a look back at where we’ve been with Sevenmile.net.  Remember this?  Pretty contemporary looking for each period, I’d say…

2001

2002

2003

2005

I have multiple versions of the site backed up in various places and forms, but rather than dig up my own archives, I decided to take a look at  the Wayback Machine on Archive.org.

I’d heard of the Archive.org project before, but had never taken a good look at it.  Definitely worth spending some time there to remember the good ‘ol days of the Web.

I was amazed to see our little site represented in so many versions and with such detail. Enjoy the trip down memory lane, and don’t forget that more recent history can be accessed with the Sevenmile Classic link, elsewhere on this page.

Don’t Do This

Take a good look at this photo and note the stellar parking effort.  Be advised, this vehicle is not in motion and there is no visible driver.  Not sure if the location has anything to do with the circumstance, but this is a Buffalo Wild Wings parking lot.

Several possible scenarios leap to mind:

1. Slipped out of gear/park

2. Never put in gear/park

3. Driver is unconscious in front seat

4. Driver is asleep in bed of truck

5. Driver is receiving special favors and doesn’t care where the hell he is parked, thank you very much

6. Vehicle is abandoned

Other theories?

Strong Men Drink Real Beer. Offroad. In the Phillipines.

Ah, the beauty of the internet.

Every once in a while you come across something you never would have found, predicted, or cared about, unless you were looking for the cosmic convergence of trucks, trails, mountains, beer, and rock n roll.

Today I found just such an entity in the form of NASfOR, the National Association of Filipino Off Roaders.  This organization, several thousand miles away, must surely be made up of kindred spirits.  As if the mud, rigs, and slogan weren’t enough to earn a genuine appreciation, these guys are sponsored by non other than Colt 45!  All that with the added bonus of a marketing tag that proclaims “the strong beer for real men”.

Classic.
