It's great to see another iconic performance brand hit the track in the American Le Mans Series as Lotus makes its debut this year. Alex Job Racing will move up from the GT Challenge class to return to full GT competition with a factory-backed Lotus Evora GTE.
Hopefully AJR will retain the classic Lotus black and gold livery even with its sponsorship from Battery Tender. Despite the color scheme having originated with a tobacco brand on the Lotus F1 cars of the 1970s, the combination just looks cooler than almost anything else on the track, especially on a GT machine like the Evora. Unfortunately, even the black and gold can't rescue the looks of a modern F1 car.
Hopefully, the Evora will have more success on the track the Jaguar XKRs have had for the past two years.

Ricky Gervais has no clothes 3
We just watched the first episode of Life's too short on HBO and it was truly atrocious. Gervais really hasn't done anything funny in years and everything since the UK Office has been a rehash of the same character.
It really feels like he's just having us on at this point to see how much crap he can spew out before the world says ENOUGH!
Well I'm saying enough and i won't waste any more time on his dreck

In the end, this is why the lame-brain executives at HBO and other channels will either adapt to the new reality of how people want to watch TV or simply get left behind.

Very cool idea for repurposing a bit of archaic hardware.

An architect in New York city is repuporsing phone booths into mini-libraries/book-drop-offs.
Makes perfect sense.
Repurposing antiquated equipment by letting it house other soon to be antiquated equipment. In 6 months, I imagine they'll put CD players in there too.

According to Rick Santorum, the only reason to require insurance companies to provide pregnant women with free prenatal care is too encourage more abortions.
"One of the things that you don't know about ObamaCare in one of the mandates is they require free prenatal testing," Santorum began telling about 400 people here. "Why? Because free prenatal testing ends up in more abortions and, therefore, less care that has to be done, because we cull the ranks of the disabled in our society. That too is part of ObamaCare — another hidden message as to what president Obama thinks of those who are less able than the elites who want to govern our country."
The more words we hear from Mr Santorum, the scarier he gets, especially for women.

A year ago this week, the third to last Space Shuttle mission, STS-133 finally launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida after a delay of almost 4 months to address technical issues.
On board the shuttle was a crate containing a Robonaut 2, a humanoid robot co-developed by +NASA and engineers from +General Motors. What makes R2 different from other robots like Honda's Asimo is that it was designed to do actual work alongside humans both on the International Space Station and eventually in factories here on earth.
That means it is a lot stronger than Asimo which can do some fancy dance moves, but can't lift much weight.
In October 2010 when I was working on product and technology communications for GM, I went down to Florida to support some media events in conjunction with the original planned launch date. The second R2 prototype was being used to demonstrate the robot's capabilities. You can see most of the demo in this video with NASA engineer Nicholas Radford.
A few days ago, the crew on board the ISS finally powered up R2 and began the testing of its control systems in micro-gravity. http://www.theverge.com/2012/2/16/2802290/nasa-robonaut-human-robot-handshake-iss
