Apple's main ad man thinks different, steps down as Macs battle PCs like it's 1984 {Engadget}
Oct 30th 2009 6:46PM Quick, "think fast." How's that much different from "think different?" It's not the norm, but it's not incorrect usage.
REPORT: Rural roads more dangerous than congested urban areas {Autoblog}
Oct 7th 2009 6:54PM Thanks Boreas. If anything, it showed big-city me what small-town hospitality was all about. I was greeting people in that long receiving line that went out the funeral home parking lot for hours.
REPORT: Rural roads more dangerous than congested urban areas {Autoblog}
Oct 7th 2009 4:24PM I just lost a loved one in SC due to a car wreck. Lone 2 lane road in the middle of nowhere, blind curve with a 25 mph limit where this lady was obviously traveling faster than 25, spins a car at a T-intersection into a ditch. She didn't even brake, the police didn't even see if she's been drinking.
Is BMW poised to take the luxury sales crown from Lexus? {Autoblog}
Sep 9th 2009 1:47AM I don't care if BMW ever does "takes the crown" from Lexus, after how the sales people and even the nose-turning front desk greeter at BMW of San Francisco treated me two years ago, I'm never buying one of their cars. Sure, some BMW dealerships are plenty nice, like Weatherford in Berkeley, but they're still no match for the Lexus customer service I've experienced coast to coast.
Power Bridge flips the strip upside-down, instantly kills ugly {Engadget}
Sep 8th 2009 12:13AM *Language police* I think it's a "simple" idea, not a "simplistic" one, which would mean you think it's dumb.
VIDEO: Zipcar has $1 billion dreams... and 46 members per car? {Autoblog}
Aug 31st 2009 2:51PM I really like Zipcar. I drive very rarely (twice a week, 10 miles total). When my car had some problems that I couldn't figure out, I signed up for their service and just ran over to one of their 3 local locations within 2 miles from me when I needed to drive somewhere. I like their variety, Volvos, Mazdas, BMWs, Minis, etc. My membership has since expired, but I'm planning on signing up again soon after I sell my SUV for when I need a pickup truck rented on the fly.
Their advantage is instant rental by the hour or day. I could be walking somewhere, decide I need a car, see a Zipcar station, see what's available on my net-phone, reserve it, slap my membership card on the windshield and the doors open. No extra papers, gas is included, no clerks.

VIDEO: What goes into German engineering - Audi's TechDay Quality {Autoblog}
Jul 6th 2009 1:51AM All that engineering and the hand brake lever in an A3 hits the arm rest when pulled. Then to lower the arm rest back down, the hand brake has to be released, the arm rest ratcheted all the way up, then lowered. Ugh.

May 20th 2009 3:46PM Tempting, but I have a very good Sprint deal now, I'll still go to the Sprint store just to get confirmation that my rate won't change with a new contract. That way, if it does change, I'll have an employee name to lay the blame on.
