I am doing my research on alternative fuel cars, and thought I'd compile "research" here.  If you have any good finding, please post in the replies.

 

My current plan was to look into biodiesel, and here's what I'm finding:

So Mike was out in PA this weekend, leaving me to my devices.

 

I've been trying to set up a trip to Portland with Felicity for a while, bailed on her a few weekends ago cos I was sick, and thought this would be the perfect weekend to go.  Portland's hotels ended up being expensive, so we looked for a less expensive trip.

 

I don't know where Felicity pulled it out from, but she suggested Aberdeen, WA.  What's in Aberdeen you ask?  Well, we were asking the same question ourselves.

 

For now I've posted an album of pics I took, and here's a link to Felicity's much nicer pics:

I was so happy to read this :-)

Thanks to Tyler for pointing this out from a recent interview with Bill:

 

Are you bugged by the Apple commercial where John Hodgman is the PC, and he has to undergo surgery to get Vista?
I've never seen it. I don't think the over 90 percent of the [population] who use Windows PCs think of themselves as dullards, or the kind of klutzes that somebody is trying to say they are.

 

How about the implication that you need surgery to upgrade?
Well, certainly we've done a better job letting you upgrade on the hardware than our competitors have done. You can choose to buy a new machine, or you can choose to do an upgrade. And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it’s superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say? Does honesty matter in these things, or if you're really cool, that means you get to be a lying person whenever you feel like it? There's not even the slightest shred of truth to it.
