The twists, turns, and upheaval of adopting a 16 year old feral cat. Pt.1 The tl;dr: We adopted a 16 yr old cat that lived in a neighboring parking lot. Our two cats were not thrilled, lost my home office, and have to get up once or twice a night to deal with neko (cat) drama. Due to everyone always asking, we created a blog for the cats; mochi.perivision.net… Read More

Panic based supply-side economics or the great toilet paper panic of 2020 So just to be clear, this is not going to be an in-depth supply side economic treaty nor how to calculate equilibrium during a move in the supply/demand curve. Instead this is more about noticing the beginning, middle, and signs of the end of the first panic induced shortage of toilet paper I have ever… Read More
Why my Tesla M3 feels like my first iPhone and my M3day plus 30. Long long time ago, I got the new iPhone. I was one of the first. So I used it for a week and thought, its nice, then discovered jail breaking! Oh man, Apple fan boy overnight. My favorite thing was to show off what this amazing new phone could do when I went to events/parties. … Read More
Edgecase take 1 We shot this a month or more back, but did not upload it for some reason. Until now. This is a ‘work’ band and we shot this late at night in a cafeteria. Suppose to be this cool Space Odyssey -ish open with 360 vid cuts, but .. well you’ll see. I think its better… Read More
President Trump. The Bad.. and perhaps Good Well long time no type. Once I started my recent gig I’ve been too busy to really write again. And surprise, last week my site was hacked. Sigh..

First video evidence (I’ve seen) of self driving car avoiding an accident All this talk about self driving cars causing accidents, very little about how they avoid them and save lives. So here is the first video clip of a real world situation where a Tesla avoided an accident by stopping way faster than I could have. Also note, its wet. So if a human was driving,… Read More
In 5 years you will no longer need to buy a new car. The coming Autono-cab Now there are exceptions to this of course, but when I tell people that in five years they will no longer need a new car, I get a look like I’m nuts. But once I explain that you are getting a new(ish) car and its a ‘need’ not want, then they are a little less… Read More
The toughest post I’ll ever write. Saying goodbye to my cat of 14 years, Brandi First thing you may ask is; why would I write something so personal in a mostly tech blog. Well this was not always a tech blog. Back when I started, Jan 2008 if you can believe that, I was working mostly from home and had TV news on pretty much 24/7. The 08 election was… Read More
One thing about driverless cabs; Joining the mile long club Yesterday a story came out about New York authoring 5000 driver-less cabs for limited use. Here is the thing though. You know, YOU KNOW, some people are going to have sex in those cars. Having condoms you can buy in the car will be a money maker. Basically people will get into the cabs, and… Read More
The First autodrive car you may try will be a rental As of last week we finally have an in service self driving vehicle on the road, however the vehicle is a big rig. So unless you haul 18-wheelers, you are not going to get your freeway autocruise just yet. However, now that we got trucks on the road, its only a matter of time before… Read More
Cells phones are making waiting for a toilet longer This is just a rant, but I know its true. Now as a guy, most of the time I go to the restroom, larger ones, not the single user ones, its a pretty quick story. I know for women its not the case, and still, we make men’s and women’s restrooms the same size. That’s… Read More
VR Theme Park! Yes its TECHNICALLY doable, but financially? I just saw this and it already on my bucket list. THE VOID. A VR Theme park where virtual reality technology is taking to it’s cutting edge. And it looks great! But after a bit of thinking, Utah? Really? Why is this not in California? And this will take A LOT of capital, does this… Read More
Now thieves are use Amps to steal your car. Now you need a Faraday cage for your key fob Sigh. More proof mean people suck. So here is the story. Thieves are using signal power amplifiers to extend your cars reach to your key fob.

The coolest thing about self driving cars will be trucks There has been lots of talk about self driving cars and how they will change the world, and they will, but before that happens, a just as big change will come to trucking. Imagine a long line of trucks all super close together getting 2x the gas or electric mileages because of drafting. Drivers would… Read More
Self driving cars will make electric cars more practicable, and mechanics less populous When it comes to the auto industry the future is coming on at full speed. Although I think its optimistic to think we will have self driving cars in 5 years, because of both technology and legal reasons, but in 10 I think we will see a large percentage of cars that can drive themselves… Read More
VR: Dont call it a comeback … … I’ve been here for years.. Song? Anybody? That’s right! LL Cool J, ah a trip in the way back machine.
