According to this article, GM has approved production of the all-electric Chevy Volt, to be released in 2010.  Here's hoping that's not an overly optimistic estimate, because it's a pretty cool car.

I had the pleasure of viewing this vehicle earlier this year at the San Diego Auto Show, and took many pics.  Enjoy!

I feel a bit... unpatriotic.  I did not vote in the CA election today.  It was called a "primary" but not a Presidential Primary - just some judicial, Board of Education, and some Congressional seats being elected.  Oh, and two completely opposite Propositions.  Seriously, one prop was in existence to nullify the other!  Both of them have to do ( Read more... )

Sometimes you just gotta get over the "I just know as soon as I push the Purchase button, the price is gonna plummet" and just BUY THE FRIGGIN' THING ( Read more... )

I experienced all 3 subject emotions in a matter of 15 minutes tonight - while searching for a flight to Boston for ARGFest in July ( Read more... )

You guys have been a talky bunch lately! I'm way behind on my LJ reading, and I can only go back to 8 May!  However, way back when, one of my LJFriends (yes, you) was talking about raw food for cats, and pointed me to a great website on the subject... and now I can't find that post!

This is what I do when I have discretionary time and no one to interfere or divert me - I play guitar for 3 hours  :D

No pain, no gain, right?  :D

Ok so it's true - my town, Santee, has more churches per capita of any of the San Diego suburbs (or at least it seems so).  When entering the town, you are greeted by a sign that says "The Churches of Santee Welcome You" and a list of like 15 different churches underneath.  I guess when faced with religious hypocricy, I shouldn't be surprised - yet ( Read more... )

The spouse forwarded this to me in email and I thought all you who are owned by cats would appreciate it  :)

I got email today from Windows Office Live, stating my domain name (redbanshee.com) has been canceled - but has been paid through March 2009, and gave me instructions on how to transfer management of the domain to the company they had outsourced to handle domain names ( Read more... )

So I'm curious to see what my LJFriends know or feel on the subject of the changes going on at LJ - the latest being the ban on basic accounts for new users (after 12 March) and not allowing current paid LJ'ers to "downgrade" to a basic account.

To be honest, until today, I had no real opinion - I have a basic account and the only reason I was ( Read more... )
