Excuse me while I.. →
I’m not one to get overtly political on this blog but frankly the above linked article is the biggest pile of rambling bullshit I’ve read in quite some time. Sure the government bailout didn’t work, sure the US is headed toward financial ruin if we don’t get spending under control and take care of our liabilities. But whatever Peter Boettke is talking about either only...

Tesla Going For Mainstream Market With Sub-$30,000... →
Tesla’s been pitching this for a while now but thankfully the government bailout money will be put to good use. I could really see an all electric car sell well in the $30k range if it had the right mix of performance and range. Ahh, the holy grail of electric cars.

Track speed traps with Trapster.com →
From twitter it’s Trapster.com a site that merges Google maps with user submitted info about speed traps. The site tracks active speed traps, red light & speed cameras and shows you popular hiding places for police. Probably the coolest map mashup since GasPriceWatch.com.

More than Tim Richmond died in 1989 →
Ed Hinton argues that it was the end of an era for NASCAR the day Tim Richmond died. In ‘88 came the uproar that, to this day, keeps me from rushing to judgment on Jeremy Mayfield in the current substance-abuse mess. Intentionally or unintentionally, NASCAR “besmirched” Richmond, his attorney claimed, for substance abuse, widely suspected to involve cocaine. NASCAR never proved...

Schumacher to drive 2007 Ferrari again →
fone: Michael Schumacher will be testing Ferrari’s F2007 once again, it has been revealed. The German first drove the double title-winning car two Fridays ago and is unable to take control of the current… I have no doubt Schumacher will do fine. Might not be the fastest, but we are talking about a driven individual here. The question is, if he’s faster than Raikkonen, after several years...

10 Words I Would Love To See Banned From Press... →
LEADING / LEADER, BEST / MOST / FASTEST / LARGEST / BIGGEST / etc., INNOVATIVE / INNOVATION.. and more. I’ve worked for companies who thought that “press release speak” was the way to go. Maybe, if you’re an establish company trying to live up to a reputation. Unfortunately for the small guys, towing the line on public releases neither makes you stand out from the crowd...
