I am sure I won't be able to afford one of these Tesla electrics but I'm happy that this seems to be the future as opposed to the Hummer/Escalade trend. I am not a fan of the company name although I understand the nod to Nikola Tesla. All I can picture is the 80's group of the same name. Thanks to Brian for the link though.

The one advantage of jaw dropping gas prices ($3.50 here in the Bay Area) is that people really start looking at alternatives seriously. I don't plan on buying a new car for a few more years but I am hoping there are more choices like these available. With the SmartCar coming to the US in 2008 I'm hoping the trend will continue.

The day has now come and gone and I have to say that the whole experience was surreal. Liz and I are married and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We were lucky to have a beautiful evening with a perfect sky and perfect weather.

Thanks to all of our family and friends who made the journey and made the night so enjoyable. Once we get all of the photos organized and the professional shots back I will post links to them here. In the meantime here are some shots courtesy of Anita.

I suppose it was because we had a nearly perfect wedding that we had to edure a hellish honeymoon. Mexico kicked my ass. We had two fun days but the rest of the time was spent sick in bed. Oh ya, it also rained most of the time. Liz faired much better than I and recooped fairly quickly. I am currently on day seven and just beginning to feel a little better. Definetly the most bad ass virus I've ever met.

Liz uploaded some photos. The zip line tour was a blast and I'm glad that we were able to do that before the sickness took hold. Flying through the canopy of the jungle was beautiful and a little scary.

Next vacation is skiing.

A small group of us made a quick trip down Highway One this weekend to San Simeon. Liz, Jeff, Brenna, Brian and Ming on two wheels, me still on four. I quite enjoyed the ride though. One of my favorite things, still, is driving alone with the music way too loud. I am sure it helped out that I could fit a few extra supplies in my car for the camp site although for the most part they all hauled what they needed on their bikes. The drive was gorgeous as always. I didn't get to take many pics before my camera battery died but here are a few.

The trip really enforced the fact that I want to get a bike. One option would be to buy Liz's Ninja as my first "starter" bike so she could upgrade. I am not sure I really want a sport bike but then again I am not really sure what I want at all. I guess the biggest obstacle so far has been money and commitment. Two things I am short of right now.

We just got back from camping in Big Basin. The chilly air, foggy forest and blueberry pancakes were just what I needed before being fully engulfed my the coming holiday season. I am sure that this will be the last camping trip of the year though...the real winter weather has got to be comin' soon.

The trailer for the new Christopher Guest film "For Your Consideration" is now online. It certainly looks funny but so did the preview for "A Mighty Wind" and I was disappointed with that. Let's hope it lives up to "Best in Show" and "Waiting for Guffman"".
