For the past couple of weeks I’ve been an entrant in a competition called the Ultimate Blogger.  When I submitted my entry & started promoting it, I figured I’d get a respectable number of votes, but it would be a ludicrous understatement to say that about what’s actually happened.  Within a couple of days I’d …

Vote for me in the Ultimate Blogger contest for a chance to become a full-time automotive blogger in Toronto. The winner gets a one year contract, a $65k salary, a condo in downtown Toronto, a new BMW every 6 months & a ton of travel! You can vote for me once a day at http://cnvr.cc/ubcconover

The news from Egypt is exciting & fascinating: the most populous country in the Middle East is working for democracy through peaceful protest & the call for Hosni Mubarak, dictator for 30 years, to step down & the entire government to be restructured.  Mubarak’s regime has shut down the Internet in Egypt, and cell phone …

In addition to the photos of the lunar eclipse I posted earlier this week, I also took video of the event.  It’s rather long, but it shows the eclipse from just as the moon is fully covered through to when it starts to reappear on the other side.  Take a look after the jump.

Last night (I guess I should say early this morning) a full lunar eclipse took place.  I stayed up to watch most of it, and took a lot of photos & video.  Here are some of the better photos that came out of it.

I’ve resurrected my use of Tumblr & will be using it from now on to post items of a more random & informal nature.  I’m using it with a new domain: cconover.me.  I’ll post things that I think are cool, weird, fascinating, exciting, or anything else I feel like sharing, as well as stuff I’m …

Isn’t technology great?  The San Francisco Giants won the World Series tonight, sparking riots all over San Francisco.  Obviously I’m nowhere near there, but because of the Internet I can see & hear all the excitement in real time.  Here’s how you can too!

Recently I got a video camera, a Canon Vixia HF200 to be exact, for use with Conover Media & Wheelspin TV.  I’m headed down to Spartanburg, SC this coming week to the BMW Performance Driving School, where I’ll be doing a special episode of RoundelTable as I tear it up around the track & learn …

This was in the parking lot this morning as I was walking into work, and I couldn’t help but notice that one special word on the trunk lid: “DIESEL”.  Is this really a MINI Cooper S convertible with a Diesel engine, here in the U.S.?  The only Diesel MINI I know of that’s slated to …

Happy Friday everyone!  I took these photos earlier in the week while I was out walking the dog, and I figured I’d post them up as a pleasant start to the weekend.  Enjoy!
