Happy Centennial, Oklahoma!
On June 15, 1957, a new gold and white 1957 Plymouth Belvedere Sport Coupe was buried in a time capsule in downtown Tulsa, OK. The time capsule was part of Golden Jubilee Week: Tulsa’s celebration of Oklahoma’s semi-centennial.

Update 2007-06-14:
The chamber where the Plymouth was buried may have leaked, letting in water from outside. Instead of a pristine model of Detroit steel, we may find a decaying, moldy rust heap.
This is pretty sweet. The Zoom Quilt 2 is a collaborative art project that I found via Dysart’s blog.
Like most people, I have a keen interest in taking the pulse of the online music piracy phenomenon, looking for ways to combat the evil-doers that hurt American artists and the multi-national corporations to whom they’ve signed their lives away. For whatever reason, I find most peer-to-peer file sharing services a little annoying and haven’t been able to do as much research and polling as I’ve wanted.
The other day I stumbled across SingingFish while looking for cool stuff to dress up my MySpace page (I’m really 14). It’s a video and audio search engine that differs from Google in that it actually lets you search for files, versus pages that may or may not be related to what you’re researching. In fact, a lot of Google results for these kinds of searches tend to be clogged up with auto-generated banner sites that use SEO to get up in the rankings.
My limited experience with SingingFish so far looks promising. I was quickly able to determine that Sinatra’s music is still being pirated on the web and that Capitol Records and the Sinatra estate will have to step up their efforts to honor his memory by suing a bunch of people. Give it a shot.
The electric sports car is finally here, and it looks pretty damn hot:
Tesla Motors is a brand new car company whose first product is a roadster designed by a Lotus designer, engineered by a bunch of Lotus engineers, and manufactured in the Lotus factory. The configuration is that of a mid-engined, real-wheel drive two-seater with a bunch of batteries in place of where the engine would be. My kind of car.
