What a successful landing they say so far.

This looks so cool. What a neat and great design. However I cannot imagine putting my cup of tea on top of this. What if I spill? Nevertheless, the ports are on the side and slots too and the top is a polycarbonate finish.

For those of you that do not know Acid3 testing at http://acid3.acidtests.org/ it tests the browsers ability to render the latest web standards. In this episode, I battle the latest version of Firefox 2 vs the latest beta version of Firefox 3 RC1. Seems like RC1 kicks some major ass.

Stickam is the best. I have been testing others but found that Stickam worked the best.

Imagine a high-speed rail line that could get you from San Francisco to LA in 2 hours and 40 minutes.

That dream appears to be coming true, thanks to work by the California High-Speed Rail Authority. After getting a green light by State environmental impact assessors, they’ve begun implementation of an 800-mile bullet-train system that will connect Sacramento, the San Francisco Bay Area, the Central Valley, Los Angeles, the Inland Empire, Orange County and San Diego. Trains traveling at 220 mph on the systems are forecast to carry up to 100 million passengers per year by 2030.

While 2030 is a long way off, at least things are moving in the right direction. Having a high-speed rail system connecting (eventually) the length of the West coast is a good idea for a number of reasons, including greenhouse-gas emissions reductions, improving public transportation and reducing congestion, and creating half a million new jobs. While our aging standby Amtrak is still around (believe it or not) and bearable for short distances, it’s more expensive and takes twice as much time to travel the same distance when compared to driving (non-California example: 15 hours from Portland, OR to San Francisco).

The State will have a bond measure of $9.95 billion on the November 2008 ballot, which requires a simple majority vote for approval. The measure allocates $9 billion for the high-speed rail system and $950 million for improvements to other rail services that connect to the high-speed service.

For more information, see the website of the California High-Speed Rail Authority.

Hey guys, lately I have seen many Apple mockups using Photoshop so I decided to try my own mock up. Tell me what you guys think.

Hey Guys!

After hearing much about Twitter being around tech and everything, I thought I might jump onto the Twitter bandwagon to see how fun it really is.
