I was waiting for this to happen, and sure enough, some crazy Brit’s are racing a Toyota Prius in the Midnight Sun to Red Sea Rally. They are currently dead last, but for a first year attempt for the vehicle with what seems to be a fairly green rally team, I’d say that it’s an accomplishment that they’re still in it at all!

In my quest to get a residential fuel cell appliance for our home, I went looking for the current state of the art to see if I can actually get one yet. The current answer so far? No. Damn it However, I did find more links than the last time that I looked. One of them is UTC Fuel Cells which is saying they’ll have a 5-10kW unit available by 2003, and it’s heat output is pretty high so it can aid in residential heating if necessary PlugPower Fuel Cell Systems is kind of the grandaddy in research in residential fuel cells.

Dara’s new column has a bit of a zinger about the possible new Hooter’s in Block E: “Yes, there may be hope for downtown. True, non-inebriated mainstays like Chez Bananas and the New French might have left, and Hooters might be fast on its way in the coming Block E development - oh no! I feel a rant coming on - can’t resist. Are any of my tax dollars responsible for this Hooters?

Al Sicherman’s latest column has some very good commentary about the farce last week with David Blaine’s “daring” 36 hour stand up act. I would link to other stuff about the pointless event, but that would be giving it some respect which I just cannot bear to do.

Al Sicherman’s most recent column brought to light something even more disturbing than colored ketchup. Even more compellingly vile than colored margarine. Chocolate flavored and electric blue covered oven french fries. I ask you: Where will this madness end?

So I did get my Fossil Wrist PDA on Friday, and I am a very, very happy little geek indeed. It comes with 4 different watch faces and I’m happy to see that some people online are already toying with it and there are a couple of mods already available. The one that I currently have selected has nice large numbers for the time and the date running around the outside corners.

A few weeks of comics all in one shot:
A few weeks of comics all in one shot: Marvel Comics: Avengers 52 (May 2002) & 53 (Jun 2002) - The Kang the Conqueror storyline thunders onward to it’s conclusion in issue 54. In a lot of ways I’m really looking forward to it ending, and in a lot of ways I’m not. A friend of mine was asking about team comic books the other week and I really had to recommend against him picking up the Avengers for several particular reasons.

In this world there are storytellers.
In this world there are storytellers. People who utter strings of words from there minds that might be otherwise impossible, but when those particular people utter those words, there is the barest hint that it might just be true. I’ve never been gifted enough to be a true storyteller, but I know some of the tricks. Believe what you are saying just long enough for someone to notice. Attempting to support the story with facts or evidence is not nearly as effective as being able to to support it with hearsay and coincidence.
