Dexter

Dexter is going to be back on air again soon, and I'm totally amped up for the return of my favorite serial killer ;) Now that he's got a newborn son and two kids, I wonder what this new series' motif is going to be? Last time it was the battle of the family man and his inner evil, but what about now? I hope it's not anything cheesy or boring, especially involving too much story-telling involving Debra. Michael C Hall might be married to her in real life, but her character is so damn annoying. Perfect rendition of the character or just true personality? You decide...

This is what I listen to while rollin' along the neighborhood of suburban whites. Suck that, muthasucka.

Sense. This Car Makes None.


A hybrid? Okay, that's fine. A sports car? Okay, I can see it. But how the hell can it be both? This isn't a pure electric sports car like the Tesla Roadster, nor is it a stripped down, high power-to-weight ratio, coupe. It's a silly idea at Honda for a "sports hybrid", which I think in of itself is a terrible idea.

Have you ever seen a BMW M5? The e60 model? That's a proper sports sedan. It has a naturally aspirated V10, and it makes about 8-12 MPG. What you also get is 500+ hp/tq.

Lets take a look on the other side of the spectrum at the Toyota Prius. It gets about 50MPG, and is a proper hybrid. In fact, it defines the hybrid market. Specs aren't terrible either, at about 120 combined HP.

But what the hell is this Honda CRZ? It has neither the fuel efficiency of a Prius, nor the sportiness of anything more than a Corolla.

Do yourself a favor and skip thinking about this car; sportiness and fuel efficiency is not impossible, but you shouldn't have to settle for the CRZ.

My recommendation? If you like fuel economy, go with a Prius. Or a Civic, if you want to be a bit more "sporty". Want something bigger? Ford Fusion Hybrid.

Want sporty at a low price? Mazda MX-5. Don't want a convertible? Hyundai Genesis Coupe or the new Mustang. If you've got the money, spur for a 3 series coupe, MercBenz SL/SLK, or maybe even a Porsche Cayman.

Voting!

Please vote for my friend's brother! He's a blind artist and would really appreciate your votes :)

Here's his website and some of his work:

Intel i7 860

I've been using this on my work computer for the past few months, and it is sooooo quick. My usual rig for posting and just surfing the web (and maybe a bit of casual photoshop/itunes/etc) is a Macbook Pro 2.4ghz 15" with 2GB RAM, basic onboard video, and the works. It's pretty zippy already, but NOTHING compares to the i7 860.


It's probably the best bang for your buck you'll ever spend; it retails for something around $250 at the time of this posting. Anyways, look into it, especially if you're thinking about updating your rig.

BMW Z8

I loved it when I first saw it, but the closest I'll ever get is the BMW Z3 :(
