Not quite a prius ...

One of my occasional car postings. Other than the sticker price and the lack of trunk space, this car looks pretty cool. Check out this new car that will be hitting the market next year.  The performance statistics are incredible for an electric car.  Apparently it is all possible due to a new lithiom-ion battery.

- 100% electric
- 0 to 60 in 4 seconds
- 250 miles per charge
-about $0.01 per mile

Now for the bad news, being eco-friendly will set you back $100k.

Encouraged by Uncle Chiamu's message this past sunday, I've also started peering at the news. I don't have a TV at home, so I often find myself surprised by news that everyone's heard for hours or days before.

1) City wide FREE wireless network in Mountain View. This certainly is pleasing to the ears of those paying $40 per month for cable modem or $12-$20 per month for DSL (plus another $18 for a phone connection).

2) More on the Mt. Soledad saga.

3) I also learned that school kids will need to learn the names of several new planets in our solar system.
