6 speed hybrid!

see it here! the CRZ concept that I posted a few weeks ago will have a six speed manual option!! it pretty much won't have any power but it could be fun as hell to drive... i'm just hoping it won't disappoint like the insight did

Posts on Life here in LA

So, I'll try to add some posts here about events that's been happening here in LA for my own viewing pleasures in the future, but most importantly to stay connected with people here since I don't go online much. I am in the process of writing a paper so I'll list some topics that I will discuss further later.
1. "Giving Dell some beef" to get a new motherboard- Success!
2. LA traffic and riding your bike safely here- Doable.
3. LA traffic/ driving= traffic ticket + car flipping over from hitting a parked car right outside my apartment... more details to come.
4. Some fun and nerve racking situations- battery in car breaking down in beverly hills and record time in finding someone to jumpstart car,
5. school work and tidbits of life there
6. reflection sessions

Until later, challenge yourself (in the way you think, do things, and react to situations) every day! Take care!

Ken Jeonggg

Nice piece on Ken Jeong, the Asian guy who's been appearing in every movie and tv comedy lately.  Read on angryasianman.com

Ahhh been so busy lately, not as much time to scour the internet and keep the unread items on google reader down.  OH, and check out Shannon Brown's monster dunk against the warriors a few nights ago:

Why is the layout broken

damnit, the columns are at the end of the page why is this happening

figured it out... effing jump breaks are messing up the layout, prob can't use them anymore at least for now

ok then it's not the jump breaks, it was just the post with the Honda concepts, have no idea whats going on

Interfacelift.com [wallpaps]

Need high resolution wallpapers from quality photographers?  www.interfacelift.com, all of their wallpapers are top notch and come in every resolution imaginable.  I'm pretty sure it's hands down the best wallpaper site on the web right now.  I'd say majority of the wallpapers are actual photos of real places, 99% of them being landscapes or nature kind of stuff.  Haha, I just realized my current desktop doesn't actually use a wallpaper from interfacelift... oh well, for the past 2-3 years the site has been good to me.. check it out!

Heres my current desktop in the meantime:

Don't get fooled by cheaty valet tactics

Watch this investigative piece on how valet attendants use fake signs and park your car in illegal zones (they trash the ticket and don't even tell you) among other retard strategies, glad I don't have to deal with this in La Jolla

Let's Wave [Google]

What's Google Wave?  I don't know.  I can't explain it whenever I tell someone and they ask me 'what's special about it?'  Luckily this video does a pretty good job, but it makes the good point that what the Wave preview shows now is only a fraction of what Wave is capable of when its fully released.  Thanks for Eric for sending me an invite to try it out.  Anyone else want one?

I must get the clown car from Honda

I think this has to be the most amazing cars Honda has ever conceptualized.  Just look at it.  Actually, look at how small the wheels are hahaha.  I can't stop laughing when looking at it, but i gotta admit this is badass.  I would totally go to the auto shows just to check this out.  If it's realized, it's looking like it's going to be some kind of hybrid with a solar paneled roof.  Also in one of the pictures it has that little unicycle thing that I posted about a few posts down.  The other two cars are really nice too, but I wonder if Honda is biting a little too much from Audi in terms of designs... that CRZ has a lot of wrinkles that resemble certain characteristics of Audi sports cars.  Oh well, I'm all for hybrid sports cars as long as they look good.  Lastly, the ultimate soccer dad's van will probably never materialize, but it's just interesting to see what Honda's auto designers are coming up with.. gull wing + sliding doors??  Hit the jump to see more picturessss
