I normally don’t have a problem explaining new technologies to people but Twitter really caused me to pause and think.
A Twitterer for more than a few months now I find it a great way to stay in touch with friends and colleagues. Now that I use Twitterific I am able to submit and track Twitter posts all day long.
Cali Lewis (of GeekBrief.TV) latest show discussed a video created by the team at CommonCraft Show that does a great job explaining how Twitter works and why you would want to use it. It is really short and worth watching.
When my wife and I were touring Rome, Italy 9 years ago we saw SMART cars everywhere. These little cars built for two were very cute and very practical in a city known to be very unfriendly to large cars. Sharon and I talked about the practicality of having such a car in NYC which is also a city that is not very supportive of large automobiles.
It appears that after only 9 years someone has finally figured out how to import them into the USA and I saw this little beauty parked in my neighborhood for the first time. What’s great is the car’s ability to fit into small spaces. I have no idea what kind of crash rating a car this small would receive .. but I’m willing to investigate!
