It’s a lost art. You know, maybe that’s what George Galloway was talking about…

May 11th, 2006 at 10:11 pmI noticed that too! Like nails on chalkboard, man.
And I’ve just spent the last minute or so trying to draw a breath between squeals. Phoo.
(Augh!)
Though the headlights could be a teeeensy bit frogeyedier. But they’re damned adorable as they are…

May 12th, 2006 at 1:37 amThey’re such a cute little car. (That second link is a photo of the back end, by the way). Unfortunately, Daihatsu has pulled up stakes in Oz, and there are only a relative few running around. I can’t imagine how they would go in the land of F250s, but they would be great in any city environment. Talk about an eye-turner. Show off the curly tresses…

May 12th, 2006 at 9:30 amYes, Brett, yes I saw that that was the back of the car.
Sheesh.
I know! Wouldn’t it be? Even in a semi-urban environment it would still be great! It looks so much better with the top down I dunno how it would be for long hawls… But then my legs are rather short so I’d be close enough to the windshield…
Do they sell them down there? I’ve never heard of ‘em, but I found a German page selling them. I dunno if Daihatsu still sells cars around here anymore…

May 12th, 2006 at 3:38 pmHehe. Sorry about that. One sees them around here occasionally (too occasionally perhaps - that’s why they pulled out). Australia has about equal American-like muscle cars (eg Monaro) and Japanese compacts, with a smattering of Europeans. Unfortunately, I couldn’t see Daihatsu making a run at the US - they specialize in very small cars. Personally I think they would be a hit. They have a tie-in with Toyota - perhaps the Toyota distributors could take on the marque?

Peter’s all a-twitter over this. Kodaku has an …interesting marketing scheme idea for it.
Think of it as, ah, a practical lesson in Creationism for your kids!

Last night he was all in a tizzy about Sony’s presentation at the E3 conference in Vegas, and this morning he’s been sending me lots of CAPS-and-!-laden emails about Nintendo’s, so prepare for incoming. In the meantime, this is very funny:

The Truth About Cars - Bush’s Declaration of Less Dependence, By Robert Farago
With gas hovering at $3 a gallon, the President of The United States finally decided it was time for the vision thing. So Mr. Bush stepped up to the Energy Efficiency Forum’s microphone and announced a national energy policy to rival the Manhattan Project. I mean the one that repairs The Big Apple’s potholes. To wit: our [new-ish] national goal is “making America less dependent on foreign sources of energy.” While the timidity of the President’s mission statement may reflect the fact that his Energy Bill has been stuck in Congress since 1837, trying to “reduce” our foreign energy dependence is like saying “let’s see if we can get that guy with the gun against your head to step back a few feet.” It gets worse.
He, uh, makes some good points about The Greens.

The question remains how many people bother to read Iranian government websites.
Aviran’s Place - Israeli Hackers Hacked Iranian Government Sites
A message from the hackers:
“Unlike Islam’s Koran, which commands Muslims to force the entire planet to submit to literal control by Islam, the Jewish Torah promises the children of Israel a modest and reasonable allotment of land. Israel in RED , is a democratic nation 1/19th the size of California, surrounded by 22 hostile Arab/Islamic dictatorships with 640 times her size, 60 times her population and ALL the oil. How dare Arab propagandists call Israel “expansionist!” And how dare anyone believe them! How can Israel, which occupies one-sixth of one percent of the lands called Arab, be responsible for the political dissatisfaction of 22 Arab countries? How can the 13 million Jews in the world (almost 5 million fewer than they were in 1939!) be blamed for the problems of the 300 million Arabs, who have brotherly ties to 1.4 billion Muslims worldwide?”
With a fun map. Lookit all that green.

Expensive toy is right. But I’ve got an old ViewSonic 17 - and plenty of old cpus - maybe I’ll rig a toy for the animals - map the keys to noises and sounds. Could be fun.

Hey we’ve got a ViewSonic 17! It’s sitting on the carpet behind me, waiting for a good home…
