Yes, finally I changed my old style for something new, if you are reading this with an RSS reader I think you should check out the blog, for the new design. This a theme by Ben Gray of Open Switch, called unsleepable. I felt like I needed to do some redesigning since my old look, and thought that this look is just great. I esspecially like the bottom links, adds a nice touch.
Please comment on what you think of this design or any questions you may have, as they will be greatly appreciated as always.

payperpost.com is a new site that promotes other blogs, it also pays you to review other site, doesn’t have to be a positive or a negative review. The amount they pay you depends on the type of post. I think this is a great way to create a buzz about other sites and even your own, through the word of mouth, well in this case word of blog. And you get paid to do it, although some people might not like to make money promoting other people’s blogs on their own blog, it doesn’t even have to be a positive post, not that I’m sure of, it could be negative and still will get visitors, because of the talk over it.
Final thoughts
I think that this is great for everyone, because the advertisers get popularity and the bloggers get money, although keep your posts honest, and make your point across about the blog. Great site worth a click.

Wish you had your neighbors 4 car garage? Well check out Volkswagen’s storage facility. This 20 story garage is located in Wolfsburg, Germany and is fully automated. The garage was designed to be automated to save space as well as prevent accidents caused by human error. In fact because of the automated design 20% less space is needed to store the vehicles. “In a fully automated procedure, your new car is brought down to you from one of the 20-story Car Towers. Large signboards in the Customer Center show you when your turn has come. Then, you’re handed the keys, your picture is taken, the glass doors open and your brand-new car appears. You’re all set to go.” More pictures are included below.
