More Efficient than a Light Bulb

Sure, this car looks kind of cool…

…but what a gas guzzler. It would take eight litres of fuel (premium, no doubt) to drive it once around the world. Sheesh! Roland Piquepaille has the details.

Meanwhile, Glenn Reynolds is linking to information on the more modest Tesla Roadster. He says he’d be willing to take one for free on a trial basis. Man, the sacrifices that guy is willing to make out of his love for the planet!

(Kind of reminds me of my efforts to save the blogosphere earlier this year.)

It's a New Phil, Week 29

The Inevitable Off Week

Up two pounds this week, putting me back at 240 for a total weight loss of 57 pounds! I checked back over the previous entries and — unless I’m missing something — this is the first time I’ve gained weight since week 12. That’s almost four straight months of either weight loss or maintenance. It had to nudge up eventually, so I’m not going to let it bother me.

Still, I do hope to drop by three pounds this week to hit the Week 30 / 60 Pound mark next Friday. Oooooh, the suspense.

Stay tuned.
