That would be a great ride to experience. However it’s illegal in the US? If watch the video you can see why. He is drag racing cars off the line at lights. Of course that is probably what riding in traffic in New York is like. All based off movies and TV. Your opinion, should it be banned?

Distracted By Google+
I am pretty certain that Google has hit a homerun with Google+. I have spent “0” time on Facebook and Twitter. I wasn’t a prolific blogger to begin with but Google+ has become the platform I have been looking for. Posterous has filled the gap between all the other services for short post, fun things to share, and topics I want to gripe about. All I am saying, is I maybe moving soon. If this trend holds, there will be no need to occupy space here.

Oh, I Don’t Know, Why Your 9yr Old Have iPhone?
http://m.cnet.com/Article.rbml?nid=20054432&cid=null&bcid=&bid=-260This post is for all my friends, and family, that has purchased their kids iPhones, iTouch, friggin iPads, and all other devices with an app store. You gave your child a device with purchasing power without you even understanding its power. Live with the consequences. Instead use your child’s naive-ness to cover your own. I know it’s not a word! To get out of it.
I hope that judge gives this guy a talking to.

Time Totem
The coolest thing I own. Well, do you really own an heirloom? OK. One of the coolest things I am responsible for:
It is beautiful. As you can see it is gold. The back is a case, with a door, similar to a locket. I found a small piece of paper stating the warranty and serial number of the case. I know it’s the cases serial number from reading the message boards. The serial number for the watch is inside. There is a picture showing its inscription. So off to the tubes to see if I can search the serial number of when this thing was made.
Elgin Pocket Watch
My father just passed it down to me. I believe he got it from his father. Who in turn may have got it from his.I did a search for Elgin Pocket Watches. Of course, it’s what makes the Internet crack, there is a Elgin website. I can even search the serial numbers. So I opened the back. Easy. I found even more simple beauty. From what I can tell Elgin is also a city in Illinois.
NOTE: Was Illinois, at the time, the place time pieces made? When I did my initial search there was also a Illinois watch company.
There’s the serial number. Entered.
I was surprised.
It says this particular watch is one of 2000 made in 1894.Cool.
No. I don’t want to know what it is worth. I thought about it. But feel if I know that is considering a value to part with it.
Now think about this. My dad never wound it. The first thing I did was. It works. 117 years later and it is still keeping perfect time. Whoa. I don’t have a watch that I would consider passing on after using it and expect it to work.
In today’s society are we even expected to hold onto any item forever? Is anything even made that well anymore? Excluding a Rolex. I have never owned one or will but it would have to be a kinetic version.

A LEGO Car Factory, Fully Automated
via youtube.comMindstorms Autofabrik will blow you away! It appears you pick the colors you want for your car and the “factory” does the rest. It takes roughly 6:30 minutes but I was in a trance of amuse-amaze-ment!
I’m going to show Cameron this, but I fear he will ask if we could build one. I’ll offer the car!
[hat tip: all that is cool on the internet, reddit.com]

Future of Geek Transporters
http://mashable.com/2011/02/26/connected-car/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_mediu…I am to the point where I want to give up size, power, and sport if my next car will have connectivity. Right now that would be Microsoft Sync.
They say 4 years we could expect saturation of the market with connected cars. Will that also mean the ability to add it. Install it after market? Wouldn’t that be a better option for access to market for Sync?
After market addition and upgrades has to happen, because otherwise you’re opening yourself to buying a new car to get an upgrade to the “computer”.

Let’s Go To MoMa, Google Art Project
This is cool and probably the best use, and less controversial, use of the “Street View” technology of Google. I was super excited. I would love to see the curved walls of the Guggenheim or to look up at the glass pyramid of The Louvre.
Oops.
Ok, still cool. You just can’t go to ANY museum or ANYWHERE once at a museum.
Take a look though. You can get closer to the most famous paintings without getting thrown out.Google Art Project and more in depth particulars.
