Computers on the go go go!!!

Sometimes I find myself checking weather or maybe watching the Simpsons while sitting in traffic on the 405 or other urban parking lots that resemble freeways. It seems like on each trip out across the landscape I am seeing more and more LCD screens illuminating from the tinted glass of many many vehicles. I remember when our Excursion was outfitted with it's screens back in 2000 it was still a pretty rare sight. Now the screens are so big you can yell at the contestant when they buy a vowel when they clearly should be able to solve the puzzle, and this is on the screen two cars ahead! It is hard to imagine where it is all headed but then you go to SEMA or you watch Pimp my ride and get the itch to compucate your ride! I have to admit that it is hard to imagine navigating some of the galaxies that I have been in without the GPS system that I have onboard. I definitely would have higher blood pressure and would have potentially run something over along the way if I had to contend with a map blocking the view while piloting the MusicGiants Vessel. There aren't a whole lot of places where you can take a time out to map out your travel in todays roadway system(this is valid when traffic is moving of course), with speed limits rising and cars getting faster and faster your attention to the road ahead is increasingly important. I heard a report today that they are creating a law to stop School Bus drivers from cellphone use while driving the busses, makes sense! Where do you draw the line though?

The next big thing? What is next you say? Check out the new units from Azentek if you haven't had the chance. Here's a link 4 ya http://www.azentek.com/webpages/atlas.html.
It's gonna get a little nutty inside our cars quickly, watch and learn!

Peace,
Kurt

CES Vegas 2007


CES

Sam singin' the blues and Bobby Joe Holman backing him up with a funny shaped box with strings and a silver whistle type thingy that you blow through. He is sponsored by Hohner and has a signature model named after him, I bet you can't say that, not many people can.



Bobby Joe raps with Lilly about stuff. Check out Bobby Joe's podcasts @ http://boomeryak.com/?cat=48.


Shaemus ripped it up during the afternoon sessions at the trailer.
