While stirring up dust

Ah, the stuff I find in corners: Those poor horses. So Rockford turns to Bill Peters to succeed Mike Haviland. All he has done is win a Memorial Cup. Former Lowell Devil (ahem) Richard Matvichuk got an invite to Columbus camp. Very glad that project is done. My mind freed up, it is back to its normal, sick ways: I was waiting for autos results from Riverhead Raceway. Went to Google Maps to try to find the raceway. (Didn't.) Started chasing moraines.

Nice and Tiny: The New Smart Car?

I can't get enough of Smart Cars, whether it's because one of Sugar's own is testing it out or because George Clooney is standing next to his Tango; it's the fun, green hotness right now. Now we have Nice's MyCar, and though it could be called the Smart Car's competitor, I like to think of it as SC's BFF, since we can only welcome petite, earth-friendly autos.

Google Earnings Top $5.37 Billion in Revenue Q2 2008
