Why not just convert to metric while we're in the process of making arbitrary changes... pad it with NERF for the last 320ft, but otherwise leave the 1/4 mile alone!!!

Polaroid PoGo portable photo printer hands-on, Engadget reader style {Engadget}
Jul 3rd 2008 2:31AM Give it up Polaroid! That ship sailed and sank like 5 years ago already!
Bob Lutz: EV1 never coming back {Autoblog Green}
Jul 2nd 2008 4:52PM I wish Toyota would bring back the Rav4 EV. Those were a solid piece of engineering. The current ones are what, 8 years old now and they're still going strong on their original battery packs.
Create your own HDR images {Hack a Day}
Jul 1st 2008 6:54PM
I don't really consider the surrealistic looking images to be true HDR (High Dynamic Range) images, but more of a byproduct of applying a HDR process (just think of it as another filter or action in Photoshop.) IMHO, true HDR images should capture what normally would have been lost in the limited latitude in a film image or digital sensor. More closely reflecting what our own eyes are able to see of the scene. Here's some HDR images that I did at my vacation last year (yeah the first one does look a little halo-y around the top of the hills, but I couldn't get it to blend with enough luminance otherwise.)

Rendered Speculation: Honda NSX without zebra camouflage {Autoblog}
Jun 28th 2008 2:25PM How sad. The previous NSX had some low-slung, cool supercar looks. This one looks like some Prelude-Z-S2000 knockoff.
