    Watch the video.  That is all.

    I had a big write up on this but why bother?  The video is enough as it is!

  • Chevy Volt – It’s Electric! It’s Expensive!

    Just a few quick thoughts.  It’s a great idea but is riddled with potential problems.

    First, I read that it has an MSRP of $40,000.  Wow.  Ok, but it gets 230mpg!  Well, you still have to plug it in.  That’s fine, if you have a garage or extension cord.  If you live in the city, this might not be a viable option.

    I just can’t get past the price tag.  Not to mention how long do the batteries last?  I’m sure the price is hefty due in part to those puppies.  If one needs replacing, am I stick with the bill?

    Great concept going forward but right now I don’t think it’s highly practical for most.  Give it a couple of generations (in automobiles, not human generations) and I think it’ll gain more of a following.

    Just my opinion!

  • Day 5: On the mend

    Posted on January 5th, 2008 admin No comments

    We’re all gaining our health back but this first week of the new year has been rather, hmm, blargh?

    Dinner was great last night and we topped it off with a little treat of sweets.  That was our reward for surviving the week.  I really wanted to end the evening with some WoW but none of my friends were online and WoW with no friends isn’t very ‘wow’ at all.  I ended up just laying down and calling it a night.

    I did find a person in Peachtree City selling some dumbells for mega cheap.  Waiting to hear back from them.  Having workout equipment at home usually doesn’t work but I’ve found that I actually use dumbells.  You just pick them up and go to town.  No set up required!

    Lastly, something a little odd.  I was reading the ingredients on our coffee creamer and noticed it contains titanium dioxide.  TO2 is a very strong reflective white pigment.  It’s added for color.  So, right now, I’m drinking TO2 laced coffee!
