The Tesla Roadster hits the road.

http://www.teslamotors.com/media/press_room.php?id=841

Here is the press release from Tesla Motors that they have fired up the production line and are finally unleashing this electric beauty on the world. Toyota Prius, Honda Insight and other hybrid owners have a reason to be envious. This beautifully styled sports car outperforms almost every gas powered car on earth, gets the equivalent of 135 MPG and can catch any babe you want.

This is a recipe for anyone with money to purchase one. I hope they sell every one of the first 1,000 before they roll off the factory floor. Driving a Prius makes a statement, but it's a kind of eco-friendly-dorky statement. Driving a Tesla Roasdter says, "I'll never have to buy premium gas for this road rocket!"

Now if I could only win that lottery!

Meraki gets some attention

Read up on Meraki. They are a very cool mesh network idea for WiFi coverage. I'm trying to figure out a way to set some up somewhere useful for the world. Meanwhile, a lot of other people are and that's just great!
