Facebook ads again

Ok, now I'm being bombarded by ads saying it's ok if I loose my job, because I can make tons of money via Google somehow. Haven't checked yet. Haven't needed to yet, thank goodness. :)

Interspersed with the dating ads still, of course. ^_^

A more complex cruise control?

So I started using the cruise control on my new Prius. Given the feedback on mileage the car gives, I started thinking if a better system for cruise control can be provided. One that takes mileage into consideration.

Instead of only specifying a speed for cruise control, the driver specifies a range of speed. The car will then restrict its speed within that range while maximizing the mileage. I was thinking that this could then adapt to elevation changes and wind. I think the biggest problem would be user interface, and making the system understandable to the common driver. Maybe instead of the driver specifying a speed range, the system just assumes a range of 10 mph around the specified speed.

Wonder if I should look into patenting this crazy idea... ^_^

Piano

I've been back in CA for 6 months now (time flies! O_O) and yesterday was the first time I touched the piano. I am both ashamed and proud of myself. -__- But, I promised myself that I would play the piano first before playing video games from now on. We'll see how long that lasts... :p

Deal w/ the devil?

If this was true, we wouldn't, or at least shouldn't, be loosing money. ^_^

New car!

Yesterday I decided to finally go test drive a Prius. And ended up getting a silver one. :p The Jetta was starting to have some problems and I guess the bells and whistles (and gas mileage) got to me. ^_^
