"The credit crisis has hit the country's leading electric car maker. Citing "extraordinary times," Tesla Motors, maker of the battery-powered, $109,000 Roadster, said Wednesday that difficult market conditions were forcing it to delay production of its next-generation vehicle, close two offices, lay off an unspecified number of employees and replace its chief executive." - RAPatton via Bookmarklet

Does he have a car yet? Likely everybody that plunked down cash for a place in line will be po'ed. This is faintly reminiscent of Tucker - Brian Sullivan

He bought a roadster, not sure if he has taken delivery yet. - Mark VandenBerg

"With three weeks before Election Day, the number of toss-up states continues to dwindle as Florida (27 EV) and Colorado (9 EV) move from toss-up to Obama, while Indiana (11 EV) moves from toss-up to McCain. Only four states with a combined 51 electoral votes remain as toss-ups, while Obama continues to lead with 313 electoral votes to McCain’s 174 votes." - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet

From /Film: "Paramount has begun to distribute the first production photos from JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek around the web. Above is a first look at the crew on the Bridge of the USS Enterprise from MTV. Lindelof says that Kirk’s Black shirt is the Captain uniform, and that the red shirt crew member in the background is of no importance (ie Uhura probably replaces her after she dies early on). The bridge looks extremely cool, I can;t wait to see more of it. UGO has the first cast photo of the Enterprise crew (From left to right: Anton Yelchin as Chekov, Chris Pine as James T. Kirk, Simon Pegg as Lt. Montgomery Scott, Karl Urban as Dr. McCoy, John Cho as Sulu and Zoe Saldana as Uhura)." - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

They've succeed on casting... I just hope the writing is up to par. - Mark Philpot

Actually, there is a need for Fluid if you want a separate app with its own icon and its own process. :P - l0ckergn0me

@l0ckergn0me What about Fluid? - Bryce

They don't hold ALL the blame, but certainly it can't be overlooked that credit industry loves this stuff. They hate when you pay your bills and they hate even more when you pay it OFF. Your debt makes other people rich. Keeping up with the Joneses, Veblen Effects, the whole nine. Ad infinitum. - Eric Rice

Well, no, that's not what screwed us. What screwed us is a bunch of guys thought it would be a good idea to bundle up those bad mortgages into securities and get people to invest in them, with the promise that they'd make a ton of money. At least, all their models showed that they'd make a ton of money. Obviously, this was not the case. - Victor Ganata

"In Ithaca, a network could connect the downtown business district and main business boulevard with the campuses of Cornell University and Ithaca College, which sit on hillsides flanking the city. When the two colleges are in session, Ithaca's population balloons from about 30,000 to about 80,000, causing big-city congestion on the city's roads. Santa Cruz, California, recently hired a contractor to design a small solar-powered podcar system that would loop through the city's downtown and along its beach front. The Institute for Sustainable Transportation predicts a podcar system will be installed in an American city within the next five years, although it is likely to cost tens of millions of dollars. Because of the huge initial investment, funding would have to come from both public and private sectors, IST officials said." - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet

"Beware of what you ask for. After Stephen Woods asked on Twitter why there are just no Bacon utilities in the browser Dav Glass of the YUI team went right to it and created YUI Bacon. YUI bacon is now the only JS solution to fry any HTML element with a few lines of code" - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet

Mona will eat this up! Ha, ha!! - Susan Beebe

"There seem to be certain irrefutables about life as a graphic designer. That Helvetica will be everyone’s favourite typeface (and film). That, if ever asked to design anything for a film client, they will happily play with sprockets, film reels and/or directors chairs as iconography. That (whilst they would never be caught dead wearing the colours themselves) they will merrily recommend phenomenally bright pinks, oranges and greens to clients on a weekly basis. The other irrefutable truth is that they will spend inordinate amounts of time twisting and turning found objects in their hands or on their computers to make letterforms, to an almost obsessive degree." - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet

From MIT Technology Review: "In a little more than two years, the last Internet addresses will be assigned by the international group tasked with managing the 4.3 billion numbers. And yet, while most Internet engineers are looking to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), the next-generation Internet addressing scheme, a research team has probed the entire Internet and found that the problem may not be as bad as many fear. The probe reveals millions of Internet addresses that have been allocated but remain unused." - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet

Gee, ya think? - Jason Wehmhoener

Lots of unused telephone numbers out there that the telcos never got around to assigning, as well. - K Welch

Obama: $500, McCain: $0... I kinda think my taxes should go up with the messes we're in, oh wells - Roshan Vyas

Interesting that it says, "You will probably not get a tax cut under the Obama-Biden plan" instead of "You will probably pay more taxes under the Obama-Biden plan" Just as true as, "You will probably not get better looking under the Obama-Biden plan" I suppose. - Doug Bloebaum

No. Absolutely not. I've never been around racism personally but it clearly goes on. :-( - Kol Tregaskes

"I found out about Fabric via Armin Ronacher's article Deploying Python Web Applications. Fabric is a Capistrano inspired deployment tool for the Python community. It is very simple to use. There are 4 main commands: local is almost like os.system because it runs a command on the local machine, run and sudo run a command on a remote machine as either a normal user or as root, and put transfers a file to a remote machine." - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet

"Ebay has created a new sub-site where “shopping shapes the world.” World of good offers products designed with sustainability in mind. Lately, I’ve been thinking that my choices as a consumer could be as significant as my professional ambitions to take on responsible clients and projects. And what girl doesn’t like to learn that a shopping spree can help others? Users can search by cause, purchase impact, or category. Art, clothing and accessories, educational objects, and sports are just a few of the many categories. Check out this hip felt laptop bag by Tom Bihn (biodegradable and made from fair trade materials), create a studio mascot with one of these cotton stuffed llamas, or imagine your business card in this funky frame by Fred R. Lopez, whose work has been used for the New Mexico logo." - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet

"Ontologies are enabling technology for the Semantic Web.  They are a means for people to state what they mean by the terms used in data that they might generate, share, or consume.  Folksonomies are an emergent phenomenon of the Social Web. They arise from data about how people associate terms with content that they generate, share, or consume.  Recently the two ideas have been put into opposition, as if they were right and left poles of a political spectrum.  This is a false dichotomy; they are more like apples and oranges. In fact, as the Semantic Web matures and the Social Web grows, there is increasing value in applying Semantic Web technologies to the data of the Social Web. This article is an attempt to clarify the distinct roles for ontologies and folksonomies, and previews some new work that applies the two ideas together - an ontology of folksonomy." - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet

"Peripetics is a six act motion piece presenting six imaginations of disoriented systems, including the evolution of educational plant-body-machine models and liquid building materials. Crafted by surreal motion studio Zeitguised the brilliant 3 min film was developed for the opening exhibition at the Zirkel Gallery." - Jason Wehmhoener via Bookmarklet

"Novelty theory attempts to calculate the ebb and flow of novelty in the universe as an inherent quality of time. It is an idea conceived of and discussed at length by Terence McKenna from the early 1970s until his death in the year 2000. Novelty theory involves ontology, morphogenesis, and eschatology. Novelty, in this context, can be thought of as newness, density of complexification, and dynamic change as opposed to static habituation. According to McKenna, when "novelty" is graphed over time, a fractal waveform known as timewave zero or simply the timewave results." - Cee Bee the friendfeeder via Bookmarklet

...but long association with McKenna-heads since kinda took the wind out my sails for that idea after a while. Too many people just want this idea to be true and aren't willing to look at it critically. Terrence was an amazing storyteller though, gotta give him credit for that. - Jason Wehmhoener

I did find the dataisnature blog post's association with timewave theory, computer herding, and mathematical limits to be interesting though. The association points towards the possibility that sometimes feedback loops can create limit conditions. It's just really hard to imagine "infinite novelty". That pair of words is sort of a linguistic toy. Is it possible, or a flat contradiction in terms? - Jason Wehmhoener

That sucks. My office did that when I was there but it was because they wanted a record of all of our emails. - Trish R
