by Darel on Oct 18, 2011 • No Comments

As Jaguar’s designers created their 75th anniversary model, the new C-X75, they were inspired by the company’s long history of beautiful and powerful racing machines. In particular, they drew upon the spirit and style of the twelve cylinder XJ13, of which only one was ever built.

I hope you enjoy this Ferrari Prancing Horse wallpaper. The Ferrari prancing horse was “chromed” in Corel Photopaint using Alien Skin Eye Candy 4000. I may do another version without the Ferrari lettering, or possibly with the badge-style logo instead. Let me know what you think.

by Darel on Jun 16, 2006 • 4 Comments

An open letter to the MPAA and the DVD industry. My kids love Strawberry Shortcake. They have every single Strawberry Shortcake DVD released so far.

Google is being Evil. (maybe Roadrunner too)

A funny thing happened when I moved darelparker.com to my new colocation server. Well, not so much funny as disturbing and deceptive. After changing the registered name servers for my domain, my browser began displaying a banner infested pseudo-search engine at an IP address I’ve never heard of. And it looks like spyware isn’t the cause. This article...
