The Car-plane has arrived!

I found myself scrolling down Perez Hilton’s website earlier.  I don’t know why.  To be honest, it’s pretty lame.  But People love this crap.  I found myself slightly hypnotized by the Headline of the Week Weak.  It’s about a flying car. 
Although the idea of having flying cars is surely not new, it was only [...]

Camera’s, Concerts and Free Marketing

I go to a lot of concerts. Music is a big passion of mine and whenever I have the chance to see an artist live I will very quickly and usually without thinking jump on the bandwagon. Last night I went to We Will Rock You. Although not a concert, it is a musical inspired [...]

For those of you that do not know what Y-combinator is, it’s a start up incubator that basically takes good ideas with strong passionate teams, gives them a bit of money to build [...]

Who Said Books Had to be Written on Paper???

I must have drank some seriously potent iPhone Kool-aid while I was in San Fran for the Web 2.0 Summit. Ever since I have been back all I can even think, dream or talk about is the huge potential behind the iPhone. The problem is that some people, in some cases even Apple, do not [...]

And we really wonder why we are in a financial crisis!?

Can someone please help me logically justify the rate of return on “investing” $12 billion a month on the war in Iraq? Is that really what the oil reserve in Iraq is valued at?  I assume more if you include inflation over the past 5 years.  WTF.
For more insane statitics from US Senate and Congressional Services please [...]

The Driving Plane
