Chevy Volt

The first car to be house-current plug and play, the Chevy Volt has now hit the news circuits. Nice styling don't you agree?

Specs on this new vehicle are scarce so far, and price and availability is skeptical. Some writers even think this car is a figment of some GM exec's imagination.

It'd be nice if this was a concept Camaro with some honkin' V8. But alas. It's gonna be all electric. If it's ever gonna be at all.

The Apple collector

Some guy has over a hundred Macs in his basement, on display and in working order. He's oviously got some bucks to be soaking them into this hobby.

I don't know what to think. Am I jealous? Maybe a little. But collector-people are everywhere. Whether it be Macs, guns, empty beer cans, cars, comic books, or string, there's a nice way to spend time and money that makes these types happy.

Here's a short video of the Mac collector.

Woz gets busted

The Woz was recently cited for speeding on an Interstate in California. The CHPs nailed him for cruising along at 104 mph.

In a Toyota.

A Toyota Prius. Huh? Check the story here.

Woz and Datsun


Steve Wozniak is a cofounder of Apple Computer. He designed and built the first Apple IIs that rolled out of Cupertino.

Recently, and old commercial has resurfaced with him driving a Datsun 280Z. Early '80's I would say. Have a gander below.



I, you. He she it. He what?

Volks-pool or Pool-wagen

Here's a VW bus modified into a pretty cool pool table. How it is steered or transported is a mystery to me.

Pretty neat, though. Check out more pix here.
