This article in the Chicago Tribune (requires annoying registration) details some of GM’s plans to introduce new SUV hybrids in the next few years (try 2007). What’s particularly funny is the MPG difference you can expect to see in some of their trucks and light pickups. For example, the Chevrolet Silverado right now [...]

I saw this story on TV a few months ago.. It’s an art exhibit called Cloaca. Basically, it simulates the human digestive system. Feed it veggies, meat, beer, and about 2 days later it actually makes poop. Stinky poop. I saw a video of the thing pooping, it was seriously gross, [...]
For like the last 2 weeks, my blog has been hella slow. I called Yahoo!, and they told me it was “heavy traffic”. What a crock, that’s what I always tell my customers when my software is slow and sucks. But for some reason, I logged in this morning and everything was [...]
I love The Onion. My favorite article headline this month?
“Mormon Family Trying To Ignore Dog’s Huge Boner”. Classic.

This is awesome. I just found a newsgroup on yahoo dedicated to the civic hybrid. It was weird, this morning for the first time I actually heard the starter motor kick in, IMA (integrated motor assist) didn’t start the engine like it usually does. I think it had something to do with [...]
I think extreme cold makes the hybrid suck. This morning, my average mpg coming into work was about 35. Now, keep in mind, this is probably about a billion times better than any other car, ESPECIALLY in this weather, but still not close to 50. When the engine is nice and warmed [...]

It looks like Karen and I will be setting our wedding date in the coming weeks. We are in the process right now of pricing out facilities/banquet halls, etc… Saturday they are having a “super wedding blowout extravaganza” at the expo center in hartford. Hopefully we can talk to some vendors and get [...]

Last saturday I bought a new Honda Civic Hybrid.
I went through Cars Direct. They made the whole process super easy, and their prices were outstanding. I got a little hosed on the trade-in, but that wasn’t such a big deal, my old car was a piece of crap anyway.
I love this [...]
