VW 1-Litre concept going into production

One good consequence of $4.00+ gas is the development of vehicles like this. This sweet little commuter missile gets 235 mpg! I drive the highways of Atlanta every day (in a Toyota Yaris, averaging 37 mpg), and mostly what I see is people in giant cars by themsleves. Little two-seaters like this just make more a more sense. I thought they made sense at $1.50 a gallon, but then I'm a dirty hippie.

"It'll be a long time before we fight a war over used veggie oil," says Claiborne with a sly smile.

Amen, brother.

I think you're crazy

The amazing and powerful Violent Femmes (I still find myself singing "Old Mother Reagan" all the time) have put up some kind of nutty MySpace profile to promote a blue vinyl record; therein you will find a blisteringly transcendent version of Gnarls Barkley's instant classic "Crazy." Pre-order to get in on that ground floor, glitches!

busy = yay!

Too busy to keep up with this thing. Way too. Working on coming around and complaining about the cartels that keep us down. Just not right now.

OH YEAH - and they think they've found ice on Mars.

Come Out
