The iNAVI K2 is a Korean GPS that uses polygonal rendering to display a 3D view of the map and route that you are taking. The good news is that its price went from $520 down to $475. The bad news is that it is still not available in the U.S.

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 06:54:04 PDT
For most of the post-WWII era US oil consumption went up year after year. One deviation from that came in the early 1980s. An even longer lasting and probably permanent deviation from that trend is developing. Americans have traveled back in a sort of time machine to 2002 levels of oil usage.

Media, including the CBC, petitioned the court to permit the release of the tape (the tape doesn’t show any

How is online changing traditional real estate marketing? July 2, 2008 by Mel Aclaro comments (1) I came across a thread Stephan Swanepoel started in the Real Estate Trends group on Inman News. The subject of the thread and the title of this post were one in the same. While Stephan's article was insightful by itself, I was also intrigued by some of the comments. In response to an underlying theme about leaving "virtual bread crumbs" as a way of establishing agent credentials, readers offe

Tight funding and energy costs limit NOAA Bering Sea research

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:11:05 PDT
Increased fuel costs and reduced federal funding are limiting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s fisheries research in the Bering Sea and may—in the long run—impact harvest limits.

Iraq, Nader

Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:26:13 PDT
Tuesday and I'm really bummed because I thought it was Wednesday for some reason. I really went through the day thinking, "Hump day. Weekend's almost here." And when I sat down at the computer to write I noticed stuff saying it was Tuesday online and thought, "Huh?" I was so hopeful until reality sunk in! This is from Edward Luce's "Obama under fire over Iraq troop pledge:" US presidents have a history of abandoning campaign promises by pointing out that “the world looks different from here” w

A Bold Prostitution Ring

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:21:41 PDT
I haven't been blogging nearly enough lately about unusual sex crime reports. To correct that oversight, I offer this story out of the nation's capital: A Metro station manager and a Metro custodian were arrested on prostitution charges after an undercover transit police investigation found they arranged sexual trysts for money from inside the Dupont Circle Metro station. At one point the employees used the Metro loudspeaker system to facilitate an illicit sexual arrangement, according to po

Britney Spears Lamest – Scariest – Hairiest Buttcrack Pictu

Tue, 01 Jul 2008 14:59:19 PDT
Believe me when I say this: I’d rather be gay then to stare at Britney Spears bending over in front of me – basicaly that’s the main reason why I’d be gay in the first place!

News flash: Pharrell Williams has decided to get his tattoos removed. But rather than laser them away, he’s growing skin to cover them. See, he gave some doctors a skin sample and they’re replicating it in a dish to sew back onto his body. Sure beats having it grafted from your ass! . . .
