In development.

Haha my Renault 4 made it into the slideshow. Great timing too, as I finally did at least one of the things I mentioned: the cheap car stereo was wired today (still a work in progress, as it does interrupt the circuit and the memory resets every time I fire up the engine, so I should probably fiddle with the power and…

Well, there’s a couple of pieces of plastic cladding behind the front wheel wells that I’ve been putting off installing in my Renault 4 GTL for over 2 years now because of the fear of drilling into a body panel, but I’m determined to do it sooner rather than later. Maybe also finish wiring the cheap, faux-retro car…

this iconic 80s ad immediately came to mind:

I wish more people realised how good “manual everything” actually is. I have two cars: one “power everything” and one “manual everything”. Both are old (98 VW Polo, 91 Renault 4). Only the Polo is a source of constant headache for electrical reasons. I’ve went through so many window switches I lost count. I’m…

I personally get irrationally mad when a driver pulls into a spot and realizes the spot in front is also free, so they cross the line and park there unnecessarily. It’s happened to me way too many times, I start pulling into a spot in a crowded parking lot and out of the blue the car that was parking in the spot in…

I didn’t know this generation of the Kia Carnival. They’re really nailing the styling with every recent entry to their lineup.

For that to be possible Clarkson would have to still be relevant.

I mean, they’re churning out the stuff at $44/gallon from an experimental facility running off of one wind turbine. There definitely seems to be a decent margin to bring down the costs with more widespread adoption.

It’s still hard to “sell” nuclear to people all over the globe. Here in Europe the anti-nuclear lobby has always been strong, and accidents like Chernobyl and Fukushima certainly didn’t help make the case for nuclear.

Which is what’s happening here, and apparently a single wind turbine is enough for the experimental part. Considering how much energy is wasted in peak production times, maybe this tech could help harness the full potential of wind turbines. We already have them all over the world, maybe placing some large scale…

This guy has a nephew who knows 3D.

Oh well, I guess now is not the worst time ever to admit I never watched Top Gear specifically because I can’t stand Clarkson. I’ll watch some clips and be entertained despite him appearing on screen, but a lot of the times I can’t even be entertained or finish clips because he’s just there, doing his thing. He’s…

I was mistaken anyway, it seems like JLR actually lost the court case against INEOS, and there were no changes to the design. I don’t know why I was convinced otherwise.

This right here. If it was possible that this arms dealer was of such importance, they’d find ways to keep him conducting business from within prison anyway. But c’mon, thinking the success of an invasion by the autocratic leader of the biggest country in the world hinges on a single arms dealer who was detained in an…

After my reply this personal anecdote came to mind: I had a commission for a few voice-overs for a series of videos commemorating the centennial of a large wine company. After we went back and forth with recordings and reviews, changes to the script and whatnot, I got an email saying they wanted my voice just for the…

Right??

High profile illustration work usually involves developing a few different rough sketches, working with the client to decide which one(s) to actually work in, sending various drafts, jumping from one proposal to another and back to the previous one because the client can’t make up their mind, and accommodating the…

Ok. Putting aside the fact that the artist is quoted mentioning weeks of work, which without any further context should be interpreted as a full-time job for the estimated period of time, or even ignoring their intent to buy both the illustration and the copyright:

Rich people don’t get rich or stay rich by spending their money.
