“

At this point Lexus designers will be foaming at the mouth. They’ll argue that the Avensis and the HS250h don’t share any sheet metal. Please. Their mothers couldn’t tell these cars apart. They’ll also note that they spent a zillion hours in the wind tunnel with the HS to optimize the shape for aero efficiency as well as to tune out wind noise.

I can’t hear you. The ugly is just so loud

“These early ‘Sesame Street’ episodes are intended for grown-ups, and may not suit the needs of today’s preschool child.”

Say what!? Never did I ever think I’d see “Sesame Street” and “intended for grown-ups” in the same sentence.

“

One hectare of land can produce approximately 135 gigajoules of energy per year, so the Land Cruiser’s eco-footprint is about 0.41 hectares - less than half that of a medium-sized dog…

Doing similar calculations for a variety of pets and their foods, the Vales found that cats have an eco-footprint of about 0.15 hectares (slightly less than a Volkswagen Golf), hamsters come in at 0.014 hectares apiece (buy two, and you might as well have bought a plasma TV) and canaries half that.

Even a goldfish requires 0.00034 hectares (3.4 square metres) of land to sustain it, giving it an ecological fin-print equal to two cellphones.

At first, the Twitter syntax can seem confusing. Here’s a sample post from Blogworld:

perfectporridge: @mattdickman What are long-term implications of micromedia on events? There is digital backchannel wherever you go now. Just like here #bwe08

In this example, perfectporridge is the Twitter user name of the author. @mattdickman refers to another Twitter user (or Twitterer).

Using the @ symbol with the user name (called an @reply) accomplishes two things: it makes this post visible on mattdickman’s Twitter profile, and, specifically, by placing the @reply at the beginning of the line, the post will appear in a special “reply” portion of mattdickman’s profile that collects all responses to his posts.

The example ends with a “hashtag,” #bwe08, short for Blogworld Expo 2008, which attendees of Blogworld collectively and voluntarily agreed to include as a way to make sure their tweets about Blogworld would be easily searchable or picked up by feeds looking for the #bwe08 keyword. If Twitterers didn’t include #bwe08, and if their posts didn’t happen to include the word Blogworld, their comments would be hard to find when searching for Blogworld-related content.
