Electric Drag Racing
This is a pretty fascinating article (and video) mostly for you guys. I have one question which doesn't seem to be brought up in this story and one comment.
What does this cost overall? How much was paid for the "just in time" delivered battery pack?
I remember in the early 90's asking a long time friend of mine who had become a successful artist what he had paid for his futuristic flatbed computerized image scanner. I was taken aback when he told me it cost him 10K! Last year, I purchased a far more advanced and compact model (in fact it was designed for "briefcase travel"), on sale for $19.95!!
That gives me hope that the costs for new Lithium battery packs will allow me to consider drag racing as a choice of new hobbies in my future.
Enjoy!
Thanks to my buddy DSG for this entertainment.

Mr. Smarty Pants?
Well, I'd say so. Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. seems to have a reasonable grasp on the reality that surrounds us. (Warning: you must have at least a two year college degree to read these op-eds):
- Washington's Suicide Mission - Banks continue to fail at an alarming rate, the dollar is under assault, and Washington is looking at a future of trillion-dollar deficits. One might have guessed it would take a decade of Obamanomics to produce European welfare state levels of youth unemployment, but at 18.5% we're there.
- The Economic Uses of Al Gore - Notice, for instance, after a decade in which the earth appears to have stopped warming and even cooled, that global warming advocates have rushed to embrace a computer simulation that predicts this cooling (in retrospect, of course) and allows for indefinite future cooling, even while assuring that the world is destined to face disastrous warming anyway. Isn't this what forecasters of doom have done since time immemorial when their deadlines for doom haven't been met?
Religious Zealot; A Fanatical Partisan
I live in an area of the USA that is populated predominantly by people of the Mormon faith. They are good people in general yet they have a reputation for being a bit odd. Perhaps it is because of their strict moral code which includes everything from modest dress to abstaining from sexual encounters (until marriage) and avoiding all things addictive, including caffeine and alcohol. But it is primarily the behavior of the zealots in their sect who insist on their right to live a polygamist lifestyle that gives them a bad name.
I was raised in an area of the USA that was populated predominantly by people of the Catholic faith. As a non-Catholic I felt they were basically good people but considered them a bit odd. Their strict dogma (especially the birth control thing), rosary beads and hail Mary’s, dashboard Jesus statues, no meat on Friday and their Pope’s fancy robes and hats all seemed somewhat strange to me. Yet ultimately it was the 'forbidden' sex rule imposed upon their priests which led to their penchant for molesting little boys that gives them a bad name.
Later I lived in an area of the USA that was populated predominantly by people of the Baptist faith. As a non-Baptist I felt they were basically good people but considered them a bit odd. In general they seemed a little on the fanatical side. I’ll never forget the grand white tent revivals with their healing preachers and their honest-to-God holy-rollers, and the occasional snake handler. Yet ultimately it was their racial prejudice and their zealots in white sheets that gave them a bad name. The dress and actions of these zealots and their isolated incidents of violence were intentionally sensationalized so as to bring their beliefs to the attention of all.
They did some horrible things and as a result were abhorred by all outside of their ranks. Subsequently, most realized the error of their ways and sought more peaceful ways to convey their message.
Now I find myself living in a world overflowing with Muslims, which I find odd because I don’t know any Muslims. My perception however is that this particular group of people is overrun with zealots. Dangerous, deadly zealots.
It seems like every time tourists are blown up in a resort hotel or a night club, every time an American embassy or military barrack or naval ship is bombed resulting in the death of young women and men, every time a suicide bomber shreds the flesh of innocent shoppers or worshipers in an open air market or mosque, every time a hijacked airplane is used in an unbelievable act of horror, every time a Dutch film maker is stabbed in the heart on a public street for expressing his beliefs, every time a writer or cartoonist is sentenced to death for his words or drawings… there seems to be behind it, the almighty Muslim God, Allah, who seems to trump all other Gods, and the Koran (Qur’an) which appears to me to be written under the guidance of the same entity who inspired the work, Mein Kampf.
I’m not reading about any Mormons or Catholics or Baptists or Protestants or Jehovah Witnesses or Seventh Day Adventists, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus or any other group of people murdering others in the name of their God, other than the exception of Muslims.
Can someone please explain this to me? Are there any moderate Muslims out there who do not believe in ‘death to the infidels’?
If so, why do we not hear your voice?
This latest incident at Fort Hood has once again been associated with a Muslim. Regardless, any individual who chooses to wantonly murder 13 individuals and wound another 31 in an attempt to end their lives deserves to have his life ended immediately and without mercy. The brave souls who confronted him and cut short his vicious and heinous act are hero's without question. Yet in a way they fell short for not treating their reaction as a mob execution and walking up to Nidal Malik Hasan's motionless body and pumping a few more bullets into his skull.

Basic Laws of The World Wide Web
Here's a few important laws you need to be aware of when surfing the web and especially when reading blogs:
- Skitt’s Law - Expressed as "any post correcting an error in another post will contain at least one error itself." It is an online version of the proofreading truism of Murphy’s Law, also known as Hartman's Law of Prescriptivist Retaliation: "any article or statement about correct grammar, punctuation, or spelling is bound to contain at least one eror."
- Pommer’s Law -Proposed by Rob Pommer on rationalwiki.com in 2007, this states: “A person's mind can be changed by reading information on the internet. The nature of this change will be from having no opinion to having a wrong opinion.”
- The Law of Exclamation - First recorded in an article by Lori Robertson at FactCheck.org in 2008, this states: "The more exclamation points used in an email (or other posting), the more likely it is a complete lie. This is also true for excessive capital letters." It is reminiscent of the claim in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels that the more exclamation marks someone uses in writing, the more likely they are to be mentally unbalanced. According to Pratchett, five exclamation marks is an indicator of "someone who wears their underwear on the outside".

When tempted to over indulge, reach fo a Lucky Strike instead...
Yes folks, in the 1950's it was claimed that nicotine was a physical stimulant that would lead to exercise and thus fitness. Just as cocaine was in the late 50's - early 60's, with the added benefit of increased brain power. All true, and believable even by researchers until empirical data began to show the substances caused the body and mind to crash and burn.

Some great marriage advise...
This has always been one of my favorite quotes:
I never realized what a poignant statement that is until just recently when I started to think about my upcoming 25th wedding anniversary (gotta plan ahead for such an event).
The twenty-five years is an ‘official’ date. Cathy and I have actually been together for twenty-eight years. I attribute the longevity of our relationship to the fact that during our entire time together we’ve never heard a single word of what the other has said.
Thank God.
My advise? Try not to be too precise when communicating with your spouse.

The 'Nuge' for President!
Next election for POTUS I'm writing in 'The Motor City Mad Man' Ted Nugent.
"Not in all my years in Florida have I known of a gang attack by raccoons on an individual." That being said, had this woman been packing your basic squirrel gun this never would of happened.
Over at Reason, they reason about gun ownership. The comments following the article are as interesting as the article itself.

Okay, so summer is over and I've put my grill away and have started raking the leaves from my yard. So I'll put this behind me for now. But come next spring, if things don't change there's gonna be trouble.
The Evolution of 1 and 0 and A/V
About 7 years ago I purchased a computer with a TV tuner and DVR built into the video card. As far as TV went, I was interested in only a few sitcoms, the History and Discovery channels, the NFL and NASCAR and the news, but I felt like sitting in my living room or lying in bed and watching was a colossal waste of time. I figured if I could watch TV on my computer I could work at the same time.
I was right , I could do my finances, pay bills, do work I brought home from my job (even extra credit stuff), check and respond to personal as well as business emails, keep up my personal journal and continue to educate myself with things related to my life by doing research on the web.
That’s when I started using two monitors. If you don’t use two monitors you don’t know what you’re missing. Even when NOT watching TV on one of them. It’s like you’re in college studying for a test and you’re in the library and you have multiple books open and spread across the table. You can have several programs and/or windows opened up at the same time on each monitor. So the ease at which you can bounce from one reference to another or one application to another increases your productivity.
The TV? Well I could open it up in a separate window and size it in the corner of one of the monitors.
But then came HD and the idea of watching movies while I worked.
So now I’m at three monitors. One dedicated, when I wish, to entertainment as I work.
As things have evolved in my digital experience now comes along online or internet, world wide web video and ‘on demand’ television viewing.
Remember when MTV first debuted? We were all mesmerized. Nonstop eye candy coupled with music with NO commercials or any other interruptions, 24/7.
I stumbled upon this video web site last night, as I did in 1977 with my discovery of MTV and couldn’t stop watching for over 2 hours: www.isofa.tv.
Make some popcorn and check it out. Simply amazing… give it at least 15 minutes. You’ll see some fascinating stuff.
I’m betting it won’t be long before it’s riddled with commercials.

The Broccoli of Logic
Makes me want to gag.
Mandated health insurance is now being compared to auto insurance. If you drive you must have auto insurance. I agree with that. Good idea. The flawed logic that follows is that if you are alive you must have health insurance.
This logic, 'spoon fed' to the masses by the Obama administration and propagated by the mainstream media, is like being forced to eat broccoli, or lima beans or in my case, asparagus. What's next, mandated life insurance? Burial insurance?
Many people don't even own a vehicle. Some who do never intend to drive them. Can you imagine the outrage of New Yorkers who walk, bicycle or use mass transit if they were forced to purchase auto insurance via a government mandate?!
Ironically, if you do own a vehicle and drive, your mandated auto insurance covers medical expenses for at the very least, someone you hurt in an accident (you can choose to exclude yourself).
The solid logic that follows the above is that not everyone needs or wants health insurance.
Here's a very enlightening video from Reason TV illustrating how some people, by their own free will, choose to spend their hard earned money on other 'stuff:'

Gasping For Air
It was enthusiastically reported today that the recession is over, based in part because of a 2.7% surge in retail sales in August.
I bought some stuff I didn't need last month. Even I need to come up for air once in awhile.
But I'm going right back into my foxhole until Christmas. And then back in again, I'm guessing, until... next spring?

Hurricane Katrina, New Mexico and the love of my life.
Shortly after Cathy and I discovered we were in love we took a two week break and went on an exploratory trip through Utah, Nevada, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. We wanted to relocate, get away from our current surroundings and start a new life together.
We were both bold explorers; double Leos to boot. The only navigation tool we had was a $1.50 fold up paper map that laid out interstate highways and paved state roads. We didn’t have a credit card between us or a cell phone (they hadn’t been invented yet) and we were traveling in a 10 year old van on questionable tires.
Using only the sun and the stars and our common sense we fearlessly ventured down roads less traveled, many of them unpaved and unmarked. Sometimes we even made our own roads. We were in love, nothing else mattered. There was no targeted destination.
There was a small lake at the end of a dirt road, as high as you can get in the mountains of New Mexico. It was hours off of our map. It was a mirror, reflecting its own frame; shimmering aspens and tall pines bathed in the light of a dramatic and blazing sunset. It was one of the most beautiful sights I’ve ever seen in my life; an engram on my mind.
We couldn’t figure out why there was no one else there. In Utah there would have been so many people wanting to camp there the Forest Service or the National Park System would have long before claimed the property in the interest of the public and be charging a fee just to look at it.
About an hour later our question was answered. Misquotes, the size of Volkswagens descended upon us in unrelenting swarms and began sucking our dreams away. One of them even got away with a lawn chair.
It wasn’t funny. They left swollen, quarter sized lumps on our skin that itched insanely and eventually scabbed over and bled.
We successfully neutralized the calamity in Durango, Colorado with copious amounts of tequila and victoriously made it home.
A few months later we moved to Colorado Springs, got married and gave birth to two beautiful daughters, Amy & Lindsey.
Such memories, so long ago.
Twenty-three years later I was watching reports and conclusive opinions about the devastating effects of hurricane Katrina on a TV in a motel room in Big Spring, Texas and realized that what happened to Cathy and I in New Mexico so long ago was not only the fault of my government but could have been entirely preventable.
For God’s sake, the forest service or the NPS, the state the county or the closest city government should have posted warnings about the dangers of hanging around a lake infested with mutant mosquitoes. Better yet, someone, the mayor, the town crier, the governor or Ronald Reagan should have fumigated the entire area to prevent such an event. And then I had to ask myself, why was the lake there in the first place?
Freakin’ stupid, incompetent Army Corps of Engineers would be my best guess.
And why wasn’t there someone at the bottom of the hill with a suave to sooth our pain? What’s this country coming to?
It gets worse than you can even imagine. Later on I realized the mosquitoes were intentionally planted in the lake by our government to help the world rid itself of ignorant men and women, unnecessarily destroying our environment by driving on dirt roads created by mindless men and women unnecessarily creating their own roads.
I'm guilty as can be.

'Angry White Man'
I've been avoiding this 'Angry White Man' issue for some time now and will continue to do so for a little while longer, so don't hold your breath.
In the mean time, here's the definition of an 'Angry White Man' through the eyes of an 'Angry Black Man':
"Someone from a demographic that has the majority of Senators, Law Enforcement officials, Congressman, State Governors, Judges, the top richest people in society, the majority of management positions, yet still thinks he's oppressed because you won't let him call you nigger."
"Usually ends up sending letter bombs or killing and eating the women who won't sleep with his bitter, self-righteous ass."
Example:
Angry White Man: "How come I have to pay you slave reparations?"
Average black person: "You've never paid slave reparations."
Angry White Man: "How come I have to pay this illegal immigrant?"
Average black person: "Because you hired him."

Getting Your Rocks Off...
It seems to me that “environmentalists” lack the basic understanding of the difference between changing your surroundings and changing the environment.
If my eyes are burning and I’m choking on smoke maybe it's time to open the vent at the top of my teepee.
The environment is a term that encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region thereof. If you happen to be a “living thing” in the environment, or some region thereof, the only way to survive is to consume the environment. The environment is one of many of God’s gift to man.
Here’s the way it works. You burn the trees around you to keep from freezing to death or you cut off their branches to build a hut on the beach to prevent yourself from being burnt to death on the sand.
As a “living thing,” to think that you have the power to change the environment is to take on the intelligence of say… a rock; a “non-living thing.”
Humm…? Maybe that’s the way to go. After all, most rocks were on Earth long before “living things” were ever considered and will remain on earth long after they die.
The downside of course is that it’s a scientific fact that no rock has ever experienced an orgasm. Which begs the question; where did the phrase “getting your rocks off” come from?

As a “living thing,” to think that you have the power to change the environment is to take on the intelligence of say… a rock; a “non-living thing.”
Humm…? Maybe that’s the way to go. After all, most rocks were on Earth long before “living things” were ever considered and will remain on earth long after they die.
The downside of course is that it’s a scientific fact that no rock has ever experienced an orgasm. Which begs the question; where did the phrase “getting your rocks off” come from?
