New Shiny!!
Look at my new shiny! An all electric Nissan LEAF. Yay!
After a test drive of the LEAF at the SF Auto Show in November last year and discovering what a fun, surprisingly-roomy little vehicle it was, I knew I wanted to drive electric, even if it meant giving up my Audi A3.
Unfortunately, I also discovered that the waiting list was already closed, so I immediately jumped on the reservation list for the still-under-development Tesla Model S instead. But this week I found out that I could take home an “orphaned” LEAF immediately despite the waiting list (though, for a premium). This is a vehicle that somebody ordered but then decided to back out of – the dealers are selling them to other buyers willing to pay a little extra. So I get to enjoy it while still waiting to see what comes of the Tesla Model S.
Awesome! Driving electric now!

Gut bacteria divide people into three types
China bans time travel
In a statement dated March 31, the State Administration for Radio, Film & Television said that TV dramas that involve characters traveling back in time “lack positive thoughts and meaning.” The guidelines discouraging this type of show said that some “casually make up myths, have monstrous and weird plots, use absurd tactics, and even promote feudalism, superstition, fatalism and reincarnation.”
