Via kos, this story hits all my little buttons.
It’s the story of Johnathan Goodwin, a 37 year old cat from the Great State of Kansas, who is making biofuel cars that stomp the living daylights out of the dinosaur-powered stuff out there today.
He makes Hummers (and other monstrous vehicles) that get better gas fuel mileage [...]

I’m having a horrible day.  Sucky suckiness with suck on top.
I have an August 1st deadline to have the truck moving under it’s own power.  That means I have today and tomorrow to hook it up.
I started the day with 5 things to do to get it going.  None of these things should take more [...]

I have thought about doing this post for some time and have just never gotten around to it.
There is a comment in an old post of mine that I have to call bs on. This was the post and here is the comment:

Via Wired News, this is a very cool engine. I find the concept of this engine highly intriguing and can’t wait to see what becomes of the prototypes due out next year. This could be the wave of the future. I hope some day to work on one of these.

I’m already thrilled to death with it. It is a [...]

I’m back at the beach. Quick turnaround time, eh? This time I’m in town for the first ever Uplifter Carolina meeting. If you wanna get in on some geek stuff, stop by. I’m excited by the whole thing.
I picked up the Rover on the way here after coming to the conclusion that [...]

I’ve got everything back together, I just didn’t have enough time to test it out properly before work today.
I started it up for a minute and it sounded good, but again, it takes more than one minute of run time to declare success.
I’m going to drive her around in the morning for a bit and [...]
