Web Wanderings 004

Since this blog has become little more than a series of links, speculation on my part would indicate that “Web Wanderings” should be used more often as a title for posts to this blog. Earlier today, concurrent with a confusing situation, I had a headache, which I don’t need at all, and I agree with Garfield who says, “I hate Mondays.”

Both links above were fairly positive. Well, I do not believe that the introduction really led into them at all. At least this morning is passing quickly. I feel a lot like the host of the “Lucky Channel” segments in Lucky Star.

Christopher Hurt actually likes this model of Infiniti.

Although I could never afford either the feminine EX or the big (forehead) QX, I like the rest of Infiniti. I cannot take Acura seriously. Konata says “ASOBITAI! (I want to play)”

I would like to think that Nifer would not or could not consume 227.5 cans of Diet Coke quickly.

Death by Caffeine
“How much of your favorite, energy drink, soda, coffee, tea, or caffeine-laced food will it take to kill you?”

Well, in order to return this post to the realm of the coherent, I briefly discuss US addiction, consumption, and dependence on fossil fuels. Renewable or alternative energy sources are unlikely to completely solve this problem in the immediate future. I thought that David might also be interested in American Wind Energy Association (AWEA):

“The American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) is the national trade association of America’s wind industry, with more than 2,200 member companies, including global leaders in wind power and energy development, wind turbine manufacturing, component and service suppliers, and the world’s largest wind power trade show.”

I was only speaking of electrical needs of the US. With the exception of electric vehicles, whether EREVs, NEVs, or PHEVs, most automobiles for personal transportation still use engines, powered by diesel fuel or gasoline; regardless, when shopping for a car, one should consider MOTOR TREND Certified. Yes, that was a commercial message, which is better than some of the messages found in my in-box:

Wow, thanks, but no thanks, SEO Spammers. Y’all are not too bright!

Star Wars-themed breakfast cereals - Holy Kaw!
“Mmmm…Wookie Krispies and Cinnamon Toast Yoda. Don’t forget to break out your lightsaber to slice up bananas for your morning dose of saber-singed potassium.”

I read that one of these is among the 365 Things to do in Kansas City.

Of course, Three Little Pigs BBQ, and Z-Teca Mexican Grill in Crown Center are also reasons to visit KC; however, like your girlfriend, I should not forget to mention Oklahoma Joe’s BBQ. I will not starve in order to demonstrate how hungry I have just made myself.
