Where was this 007

Yes, unbelievably, I have been out of the loop on the Los Angeles Auto Show.
2012 Range Rover Evoque Five-Door | Los Angeles Auto Show
“Making its world debut in Los Angeles, the new 2012 Range Rover Evoque five-door puts a more practical spin on the three-door 2012 Evoque Coupe that officially debuted in Paris.”
Much time has passed since I last looked at Autoblog, but fortunately they are now on the Facebook. The question is not so much where was this, but where was I.
Memory Sandwiches
“That’s right: Improve your memory, one sandwich at a time. We have 6 recipes to get you started. Hungry?”
Mm, yes, food for thought, and I also remember this make of motorcycle in Yes Man, a line from which was the title of my last post.
Ducati murders out the Diavel in Diamond Black
“It doesn’t get much hotter than the Ducati Diavel, the long-anticipated Italian.”
I also remember this brand from Tron, with music by Daft Punk.
TRON | The Official Site | Disney
“Welcome to the official site of TRON! News, information, videos, and more about the movies, console and online games, and products are coming soon! Get on the grid when the TRON: Legacy movie releases in 3D in theaters December 17, 2010!”
This was pretty awesome on the Top Gear on the BBC America.
Epic Big Rig Drifting!
“Pro Racer and Stunt Driver Mike Ryan shows Hot Rod Magazine his incredible Freightliner race truck. Mike is the 9 time class champion with this rig at the famous Pikes Peak Hill Climb. In this video he shows us that with enough skill and brute force, almost anything can drift.”
Of course, I cannot really ‘listen’ to that video at work, but I have been reminded of a book for which to look on Audible.com.
The Stig’s Book – Ben Collins Autobiography
“So the identity of The Stig has been confirmed by Ben Collins, the man who played the role for the past seven years, you happy now?!.”
Ben Collins won his lawsuit, and the title is available as an e-book or back order at BORDERS BOOKS & MUSIC. Top Gear has many controversies.
Limbaugh: Don’t Ask Don’t Tell Now Show And Tell
“Rush Limbaugh on Nina Totenberg and the repeal of don’t ask, don’t tell.”
For some, Limbaugh is a religion.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) Responds to HRC Petition “The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued the following statement through a spokesman following the delivery of a petition by the Human Rights Campaign.”
Perhaps I poorly chose that transition, and to half-rhyme was not my intention.
GM Turns Booms From Gulf Oil Spill Into Chevy Volt Parts
“GM has recycled tons of plastic that was used to clean up last summer’s massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, using it to build parts for Chevy Volt cars.”
Stephanie Pollock quotes, “‘Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.’ - Mother Teresa”
Google Launches Site for Teaching Tech to Your Parents
“The folks over at Google have launched TeachParentsTech.org, a ‘tech support care package’ that’s meant to help kids teach parents about computer basics.”
My father should find that site to be useful. Which might end our co-dependent relationship, I hesitate to show it to my mother.
HowStuffWorks ‘Top 5 Programs Finding New Uses for Old Technologies’
“See which top 5 programs are finding new uses for old technologies in this article by HowStuffWorks.com. Find what technologies are making a come back in new useful ways.”
20 geeky holiday decorations - Holy Kaw!
“A glow-in-the-dark nativity set just doesn’t cut it for a certain demographic that needs a little more nerd to truly make the holidays their own. Geek me up, Santa!”
Thank you again, Guy Kawasaki. Where was this, 007?
