Почитал Яндекс новости и gazeta.ru. Такое ощущение, что события в Иране там всем побоку. |

Twitter is literally blowing up with posts from and about #iranelection. Looks like it actually is a source of unfiltered information.

И не надоело им сдирать все с запада... вот и твитер склонировали: tweets.ru, juick.com. Даже как-то за отчизну обидно, чем похвастаться кроме водки, икры и блондинок? Разве что Яндексом...

|---|
|
Way too often I hear how republucan talk radio hosts (yeah, that's what you get in Arizona) attempt to accuse Obama of implementing Europian style socialism in the US. Then they often go on the usual slippery slope that they end by screaming "Communism! Nazism! Russians! Armagedon!" The slippery slope was always ridiculous, but I wonder if the premise still works for their constituency either. Seriously, "to live like in europe" should not sound so bad, especially if you have visited EU in the last 4 years and noticed the cheap USD and the expensive Euro, the long vacations they get, better preserved nature, etc. I wouldn't mind it if US was more like EU. But then again, I am not a republican. Posted via LiveJournal.app.

| » About Fiat and Chrysler |
|---|
Generally speaking, it's a shameful nuisance. But aside from all the things wrong with American automotive industr, what is this nonsense about acquiring small, fuel efficient car technology? IMHO, it is a lie and a lousy PR attempt... for both of them: Chrysler and GM. GM is closing Saturn! THE Saturn that created EV-1. THE EV-1 which GM killed once upon a time, and now and forgets to mention, as if it has a special case of amnesia when it comes to electric vehicles. Instead - they are showcasing an idiotic mashup of a golf cart and a Segway.
Fiats are cheap, small, unsafe, unreliable... also IMHO ugly. Hm... everything Americans do not look for in a car. Not that Chryslers are any good, of course, especially when they try to make a small car, but at least their trucks and SUVs, and their sportscars have some appeal to a large market segment. And no matter how bad a car Jeep is, someone will buy a Wrangler anyway. Want cheap and fuel efficient - there are plenty of Civics and Corollas, reliable too. Safer than a Cinquecento too. BTW, I drove this thing in Italy, it was pretty bad. But if you ever try it on an interstate highway, you would need an extra box of Valium in your cup holder... wait, it does not have a cup holder, too bad. Sure, in a big city, I would probably prefer something like Cinquecento over any American car, but that's not too big of a market. Than again, there is plenty of competition their in the US already: Smart, Honda Civic, Toyota Yaris, VW golf.
I hope that Fiat will put a diesel engine in Jeeps though. That would be a real winner, as far as I am concerned. Especially if they keep the price at approximately half that of other European diesel SUVs and do not change the design of the Wrangler.

| » "Shot in the dark" coffee shop in Tucson |
|---|
Not all is lost for Tucson :) After spending few days telecommuting from Quetzal @ Bush & Polk in SF, I was just dying to find a similar place in Tucson. To find a place that has free internet plugs at every table, good food, nice vibe, good music, and not too crowded, and is not a Starbucks. Thanks to a lot to Jordan Hill who showed me this place after his ghost tour this weekend! It isn't exactly Quetzal, internet is kinda slow here, and the music is alternative rock, not Buddha Bar compilations. But it definetely is a step up from Coffee Exchange, Beyond Bread or Starbucks. They even play Radiohead from time to time. Maybe I'll just start bringing my own CDs or connecting my Ipod here.

| » зенитная артиллерия |
|---|
|
Наслаждаясь кугелем после чудесного седера (thank you Jordan and Autumn so much for doing it) я думал о том, что на идиш кугель значит шар или мячик. Но этот вкусный кугель ну совсем никак не похож ни на что круглое, разве что форма тарелки круглая. Но уж никак не шарообразная (а прикольная была бы тарелка). Я решил спросить у всезнающего гугла. Google Translate конечно же не переводит с Идиш, но казалось бы, Немецкий достаточно близок. Так вот, в переводе с Немецкого (так во всяком случае считает Гугл) Кугель - это "Зенитная Артиллерия". Eh? Песах самеах и приятного апетита, my big-nose biblical brothers and sisters! Хрумкаем артиллерию, запиваем сладким вином. Posted via LiveJournal.app.
