Warmed up for the Oscars by renting Quartet on the AppleTV, a beautiful little movie directed by Dustin Hoffman. Highly recommended. I'm starting to think all my favorite movies are the ones without special effects... ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Women want their partners to be as smart as they are, men want to be slightly smarter than their partners. And both are likely to be disappointed :) ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)

The next frontier in software tech? Cars. Which is why Apple and Google are all over them. What OS will your next car be running? ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
We know now that Tesla's forthcoming Model E will have a 200 mile range, be 20% smaller than the Model S, and will cost about $35,000. But what OS will it run? (Tesla's Model S currently runs a Linux distro.) ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Yes, I am missing Sochi already. Not so much the city, but the Olympics ... without cross country skiing to watch, life just doesn't seem as fun? Seriously it has been a tough week, with Ukraine poised for civil war and the Russians invading the Crimea; was sure nice to set all that aside and pretend that bobsled racing was our only problem. ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
Happy 10th birthday, Engadget! Man I can't believe it. (Still remember when Peter Rojas left Gizmodo to start it.) My first reaction is, wow, I've been blogging for a long time now... :) ![Permalink](/images/link.gif)
