Talking lawsuits, gas maps, and foldin’ money:
Future me is writing an apology again. What possible lame excuses kept me from writing up this post last night?:
Patience is a virtue. I’m still trying to kick many, many months of bad blogging habits. Once upon a time, I really did know how to balance constant posting with a richly lived life….
This is a nice step forward for robotics. In 2004, not a single car entered to race in the relatively open space of the “Desert” challenge. Just a scant three years later, six of the eleven entered in this year’s Urban Challenge finished the course (also here).
Cars from Carnegie Mellon, Stanford, and Virginia Tech were the top three, in that order.
Gridlock talking, Head and Shoulders discovering, and Writers striking:
Tomorrow is Election Day, and my phone has been ringing all day with pre-recorded reminders from the candidates. Note that my cell phone is my only phone, so I’ve been able to drag the annoyance along with me all day.

Green: This write-in candidate is probably getting my vote just for the honesty in the name of the “party” he’s representing.
Remember to vote, kiddies!
