    Tesla Cybertruck

    Maybe 2 years I'd guess, given Model 3, which is now making close to 7k a week (but took a while to get there).

    Tesla Cybertruck

    Pretty sure Cybertruck is just shorthand for Cy's Beer Truck. Or at least would be cool to dress it up as such. :) I put down a reservation immediately. While it's far from the typical style of today, the design just makes too much sense with the super hard exoskeleton (that would break...

    Electric Cars

    Well, they do have service rangers that will come to your house to service it even now (just $100 for the service call, or can pre-pay for unlimited trips over 4 years). And the supercharger network plans for Des Moines, KC, Davenport, Chicago, & Omaha w/in 2 years will make it easier for you...

    Electric Cars

    The key to solar in Iowa seems to be to use net metering with the electric company, so that you can produce enough electricity in the summer to help cover your electric use in the winter. The sun is up much longer in the summer in northern latitudes.

    Electric Cars

    We bought a Chevy Volt back in April and have a reservation for a Tesla Model S. Thought the Volt was really awesome until we test drove a Tesla Model S in Chicago in late July. The Model S is just rediculously awesome--an exceptionally smooth, fast & quiet roller coaster ride with a lower...

    Netflix Changes

    Like many, I don't care for the price hike or the splitting up of a combined site, so my membership is on hold. Have Dish Network with free Starz for a year. Given that Dish bought BlockBuster out of bankruptcy and is going to make an announcement about a new streaming service later this week...

    Should I get a DVR?

    If you have (or obtain) a VIP 211 high def receiver, you can buy an external hard drive to turn that receiver into a DVR without paying a monthly DVR fee. It's only single tuner, but it's nice to avoid the monthly DVR fee. I believe there is a 1-time enabling fee of $40 to add the capability to...

    Christopherson or Phillips?

    Scottie was far more impressive during CCL play, showing the drive game, as well as, the 3. Phillips couldn't shoot straight in the 2 games I saw, plus his handle looked sloppy, lots of his points were on put backs whille I was watching. Didn't seem to have as good of a handle as Scottie.

    Really, really excited

    I like Bubu a lot (never get tired of hearing "Bubu for 2" at CCL). He probably deserves a scholarship and I think he could maybe beat out Phillips for backup minutes at PG. Still, don't see how he'd be beat out Christopherson for starting PG that year.

    3D Movies

    Get used to it, the "fad" won't go away. It'll linger, improve, grow, then eventually becoming the new standard in a much improved and less expensive form w/o the glasses--possibly holographic 3-D TV.

    What do you think of the Hoiberg hire (If true)

    True, Vinnie's a gonner. It's still an example of bringing in a coach from a similar background to what Hoiberg had, surrounding him with some veteran assistants, and even having some limited success. That doesn't mean the outcome will be the same with Fred. I like Fred from a personality...

    What do you think of the Hoiberg hire (If true)

    Great hire. Similar to what the Chicago Bulls did in getting Vinnie Del Negro who had zero coaching experience, but had front office experience and lots of playing experience. At the end of the day, Fred seems to have the high character and skills needed to do the job well. His basketball...

    British museum & Petrie museum would be on my list (haven't been to London yet).
