Say No to a Prius

If you want to buy a Prius for fuel economy, that is a logical decision. However, to say that your driving a Prius around will save the earth is just foolishness. The Prius is outselling the Honda Civic Hybrid, which is a more superior car in design and function by all points of comparison, because it stands out like a sore thumb on the road. People recognize it for its peculiar shape and the ostentatious Hybrid sign. People are not simply buying a fuel efficient car that is economical; they are buying into the idea that the Prius is a magical- environmentally-friendly car that will erase all their past and current wastefulness that still continues to pollute the earth.

Enough of my rant, here’s the article from Wired Magazine that talks about hybrid cars and why they are not all that “green”:

Google SMS

How come no one told me that there is such a thing as Google SMS? Am I the only one who is in the dark?

What else am I missing out on? From now on, you have inform me everything there is to know about improving efficiency, even if it comes at the cost of my productivity.

Apparently, the super awesome geeks at Google have been using their free Fridays on worth-while projects like Mobile Google. Basically, I can text to Google and get the necessary info without calling the one friend that I know who is always sitting in front of a computer. Plus, it does not cost anything, except for the cost of a text message.
