Utensils? A plate? I don't know what kind of fancy-pants blog YOU write for, but I don't even HAVE pants on when I eat most of the time. SO THERE.

Re: Water Cooling Lets You Overclock Your Laptop Stand

Evan Ackerman — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:58:18 -0000

When I say "heat pump" I'm talking about the entire setup (pump, radiator, tubing) that transfers heat from one location to another. The way you think it works WOULD make sense, but if it's trying to cool the entire stand, why not have more water tubing around more of the area that comes in contact with the laptop? The system just seems restricted to that one little area, which (considering how relatively complicated it is) doesn't seem like it would be that useful.

Yes, it should.

Re: OhGizmo Review: Cloud Engines Pogoplug

Evan Ackerman — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 08:02:07 -0000

Geez, I never had anything like that happen. My first Pogoplug was a first generation one, the white boxy kind. Besides the occasional disconnects, it worked like a charm. I can understand it maybe not working, but actually corrupting your data? That's serious.

Ask and ye shall receive. Sadly, the peach cobbler was pretty much the only food I got all day, since I avoided the press conferences. I got some cheese crumbs from Porsche and some champagne at the end from Rolls Royce, but otherwise I was too busy taking pictures for you (YOU!) to stop to eat.

Re: LA Auto Show 2009: Concept Cars

Evan Ackerman — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 20:08:17 -0000

Er, so you want more pics of the peach cobbler, or of something else? I'm going to be posting exotic cars from the show tonight.

I do have one more picture of the peach cobbler, though...

I figured I'd better get the rest of my pictures posted before I tried drinking that stuff... That way, if I croak, at least you'll have something else to entertain you.

Powerex are my favorite, I've used the same set for years. Thomas Distributing sells them along with a really nice Maha charger.

Re: Stanford Unveils Robotic Pikes Peak Racer, Autonomous Valet System

Evan Ackerman — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 17:33:59 -0000

If you read the article, though, it turns out that all of that equipment in the trunk is just a standard system that Stanford uses to control all of its autonomous vehicles. The actual software running the sensors and the hardware integration could all fit onto the car's own internal computer, it's just easier for them to mess with on their giant rack system.

Re: Stanford Unveils Robotic Pikes Peak Racer, Autonomous Valet System

Evan Ackerman — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 04:05:15 -0000

Drastically reduce the size of the equipment needed and implement it into all modern cars? Watch the valet parking video and tell me how much equipment you see... Except for 2 little bumper sensors, it's a Volkswagen Passat that you could buy in a showroom. Check out the read link for details.

And the thing about the Audi is that it's designed to develop a an autonomous system that can take over for you in the event of an imminent crash. You car will be able to execute an escape maneuver that a human wouldn't have the time or ability to pull off.

Sorry about that... That's why include a "more" tag in long posts like this, and if you view it on the front page, you'll only see the first picture and paragraph and a link to the rest.

I think whether or not the post is truncated depends on your RSS feed reader. I use Google Reader and it cuts off posts with "more" at the appropriate link... I don't think there's any way for me to modify the RSS feed directly, unfortunately.

For what it's worth, if "after the jump" appears in an article, it does always mean that there's a "more" link. And it does usually refer explicitly to what's coming next, 'cause I want you to click on and read the rest of the article that I put my blood, sweat, and tears into. Usually, articles are broken up this way if they include lots of text or several big pictures that would take up a disproportionate amount of space on the main page.

RSS readers are all a little different; when I use Google Reader, sometimes it truncates articles at "more" links and sometimes it pulls the whole thing. I dunno why.

Tell ya what, I'll try and change it up a little bit every once in a while, with phrases like "after the break" or "below the fold" or "click on, Macduff."
