I've been looking at this GPS unit, the Dash Express. It looks pretty cool. It has internet connectivity through cellular and wifi networks. So, instead of having a static list of restaurants or other area points of interest... it can search. Maps can be automatically updated. Traffic heat m

I have been littering the political posts of A|R with comments about policies being proposed by either McCain or Obama. In some cases I have alluded to other things I think they should be considering. And in both cases I think that the parties and the candidates are missing the boat. Energy...

Racing is racing... there are just different scales. F1 costs $300m+ to field a team for a year. Nascar is starting to approach $100m. Saturday Night Dirt Track racing can take up $25k or $250k. What if you only want to spend $500? There is a scale... I've mentioned it here a couple of times

I have not made it a secret that I LOVE WRC (World Rally Championship) racing. It is simply just about the most exciting form of racing in the world. So, for Video Sunday, I got Back in the Rally again... Video Sunday. I am a fan of Localism. I'm not hiding that much either. While I think th

Everything old is new again... Like electric cars. Think that they are a new idea? Think again. In 1907, the Anderson Electric Car Company (later Detroit Electric) began building electric cars. The range was over 80 miles... in 1907. Of course, speeds were low (20mph) but not out of line wi

I am cleaning up my blog... and it is really not fun. I am making a few changes to the old posts, basically cleaning up the tags and adding "Read More" tags. Boring... But, it is also forcing me to look at old posts. One of those posts was this... and that brings me to the point of my post.

It is pretty easy to start out by saying that I am NOT a fan of Barak Obama for President. As I have watched his candidacy unfold, I have noticed it long on rhetoric and short on reality, forethought and responsibility. Yesterday, Inman had a story about the Obama Housing Plan. I'm not shocked
