Acer launching world's first Android-based netbook in Q3 {Engadget}
Jun 3rd 2009 9:45AM Based on my experience with my G1, installing Android on my Netbook will reduce the battery in half. Either way, I would love to have one.

Online Shopping Spree Continues ... {Regina Lewis}
Jul 14th 2007 8:40AM Regina! Thanks! I know it is silly of me to say, but they're not called "Izods" any more. There *are* Izod shirts but they don't have the little alligator/crocodile guy. What I wear are "Lacostes." I am wearing one now! Ha!
Microsoft Vista Ferrari Payoffs--horrible move. (bonus: PayPerPost comes clean--who cares) {The Jason Calacanis Weblog}
Dec 29th 2006 9:44PM Bloggers. Are. Not. Journalists. And. If. They. Wanted. To. Be. Journalists. They. Would. Be. Doing. Journalism. They would be journalists. How dare you refer to the New York Times code of ethics. They are not responsible to anyone except the relationship they have with themselves and their readership. If you map journalistic requirements on bloggers, then they had better receive all the protections journalists get under the Supreme Court.

Happy 50th 300SL {Autoblog}
May 9th 2006 12:52AM I really should have been the 50th Anniversary Edition AMG SL65. You're right about the cognac.
Bathy 100 Fathoms Diving Watch {Luxist}
May 7th 2006 2:14PM Comparing my Submariner to this watch, I noticed that the 100 Fathoms lacks a bezel, something that even the computerized diver should have as a fail safe. Better off safe than sorry.
Land Rover nav system used to guide C-130 cargo plane {Engadget}
May 3rd 2006 11:20AM I personally think it is fun and cool.
The adventurous spirit of Land Rover is sort of built into the source code. The Range Rover Sport is more of a sports car than a Ute, and it is nice to see Land Rover really building the adventure back into the brand.
I used to own a Discovery SD and it was the most capable vehicle I ever owned. It could do anything. And when I lost her in an accident (and I was unharmed and safe) I really never have had anything like her.
The whole culture of Land Rover, in my opinion, has a lot to do with climbing Mount Everest.
"Why did you climb Mount Everest?" Because it was there.
"Why did you navigate the English Channel with an LR3?" Because it was a cool thing to do.
Sometimes coolness is reason enough, in my humble opinion. This is a British car and the Brits love doing this kind of thing. Germans didn't do this, the English did. If you look at it that way, you can see the playful snarkiness in all the seriousness.
The dry English sense of humor is palpable.

Combining Spearfishing and Freediving Into One Sport {Divester}
Aug 9th 2005 11:25AM I grew up in Hawaii and freediving has always gone hand-in-hand with spearfishing. Usually, ahi and ulua are the rewards of kicking out from Diamondhead trailing a float (or five), a dive flag, and a really long nylon line. Why would a diver in Hawaii just plunge into blue water without the chance of bringing back a deep water fish. Just ulua and ahi? No way, also ono, swordfish, and marlin! I have a feeling that you got this all wrong. The sport of freediving spawned from openwater, breath-holding, fishing!
