Geek Habitat

I promise, I’m still alive. I keep coming down with the same sinus infection or plague or whatever it is and taking weeks to get over it. I’ve been catching up on my reading, on my Kindle no less (which has been enjoyable!), as well as other assorted “low impact” things. Generally not much to blog about. Sara’s doing well, and yes we need to take some new photos of her that aren’t blurry, informal cameraphone pics. Message heard loud and clear.

Every day I’m more and more happy we bought our hybrid when we did (March 2006). This “Cathy” cartoon, for example, is probably far more true than it should be –

In related news, I just learned Lexus has another hybrid on the market but it STARTS at $104,900 -> http://www.lexus.com/models/LSh/features/pricing.html
Oh.my.goodness! That’s almost $40k more than the non-hybrid version of the Lexus LS!

Several grand more and you could get a Tesla Roadster (100% electric sports car) ->

Insanity!
