macZOT! BlogZOT v2 – SubEthaEdit
It appears that the fine people who make SubEthaEdit from CodingMonkeys will be potentially giving it away in BLOGZOT 2.0 on MacZOT.com due to this event MacZOT and TheCodingMonkeys will award $105,000 in Mac software.
I have thought about this piece of software for a little while now and have not had the cash flow to enable me to purchase it. Perhaps this is a way I will be able to get my hands on a copy.

New German Car 157mpg – Only $11,000 Euros
Loremo LS is powered by a… …turbo diesel engine that will reach a speed of 100 mph and the GT model will reach up to 135 mph with a 0 to 60 mph acceleration of 9 seconds.
—
The power of Diesel coming to a decently speedy and rediculously efficient car. 157mpg is just insane! Makes my 50mpg out of Sooty seem somewhat pathetic.

Who says size does not matter : Apple – MacBook Pro
Apple have finally announced the MacBook Pro 17″ model – with Spec’s very similar to the 15″ and that lucious 17″ screen. $4600(AUD) is where it starts for this capable machine but I would make the following changes: Drop the ram to 1GB (2x512SIMMS) (subtract $155 – then purchase 2x Kingston 1GB modules for $440 (220 ea)) to upgrade this box, and I’d go with the 7200rpm HDD for the reduced latency and extra speed over the 120GB 5400rpm model.

Cruise Control and Aquaplaning: the facts April 2006 Car Review – CarPoint Australia
Cruise Control and Aquaplaning: the facts April 2006 Car Review – CarPoint Australia
It would appear that cruise control is relatively safe to use on wet roads and icy roads. Under certain circumstances (roads you will not need to slow down and accelerate on). Cruise is linked to speed, something that if traction is lost will appear to increase to the cruise control system causing it to REDUCE revs of the engine (not the run away accelleration many chain emails claim). Have a read of the linked article.

Platypus Lane – Shiraz – 2000
This wine hailing from Western Australia is a wonderful drop, the vibrancy of berries jumps out at you – this Shiraz has flavour all of its own, not relying on the wood from the barrels it is aged in, nor the tannins from the grapes, it is somewhat lighter than the typical shiraz, but it is tasty as!
I will be grabbing myself a bottle or two more of this puppy!
