It&#8217;s still a work in progress but it&#8217;s a good start.  So I was on vacation last week and didn&#8217;t get around to posting any new links, I don&#8217;t have a ton this week but I have a couple neat ones.  Before I start the links a little about what&#8217;s going on.  We&#8217;ve been working a bunch on the home still, we were able to get the garage all cleaned up and we also got a new garage door and opener installed, so now we park our cars in the garage overnight!  Other then that the house is coming along great, I&#8217;m meeting with our contractor next week to finalize some stuff regarding our master bathroom and soon we will have two working baths!  We got annual passes to <a
class="zem_slink" title="Disneyland Park (Anaheim)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland_Park_%28Anaheim%29">Disneyland</a> during our vacation (this isn&#8217;t the first time), so expect some posts about the park, and pictures from it eventually.  I&#8217;d love to hear what anyone thinks about the site redesign, it allowed me to make some nice personal headers (the top graphics) of things from the last couple years, I will be adding more.  Ok now on to the links!</p><p>I have a little bit of a perdicament, a year ago I registered the domain <a
href="http://letsgododgers.com" target="_blank">LetsGoDodgers</a> and at first I was going to make a Dodgers blog, but I&#8217;m not committed enough to continue something like that, since I really do have a life outside of the internet.  The problem now is that I have 19 days to decide if I want to continue owning the domain, I think it could be a nice site to own and develop someday so I don&#8217;t really want to let it go, I even registed <a
href="http://letsgotrojans.com" target="_blank">LetsGoTrojans</a> sometime after that, but did even less there.  So I&#8217;d love to hear comments from anyone that reads this as to what I should do with either of those sites.</p><p>First off probably the best site I&#8217;ve found this week, thanks to <a
href="http://dubiousquality.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Bill over at Dubious Quality</a> for <a
href="http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/" target="_blank">Awkward Family Photos</a>!  There are some real gems there.  For those of you in California, thougth I would pull a oldie from my own links I like to visit, <a
href="http://www.cahighways.org/" target="_blank">California Highways</a>, can pretty much tell you everything you&#8217;ve ever wanted to know about the roads we travel on here in the CA.</p><p>Kelly and I both enjoy watching Talk Soup and now after watching this preview for Community and I&#8217;m really looking forward to seeing <a
class="zem_slink" title="Joel McHale" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_McHale">Joel McHale</a> (and even <a
class="zem_slink" title="Chevy Chase" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevy_Chase">Chevy Chase</a>) in the fall.</p><p>Here are some links I found through <a
href="http://lifehacker.com/" target="_blank">LifeHacker</a> this week.  <a
href="http://truecar.com/" target="_blank">TrueCar</a> will help you find out if the price you are getting for that new car is actually a good deal compared to what others are getting.  I can tell you we got a great deal on our G35 looking at the price of the new <a
