Imagine getting a contract with a major F1 team before you’re even out of high school. That’s what Lewis Hamilton got with McLaren when he was young(er), and what karting protégé Will Stevens has achieved with the Honda Racing F1 Team, reflecting a growing trend in motorsport recruitment.

Trading: To Test or Not to Test

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:02:37 PDT
Conventional wisdom tells us that the market likes to test the conviction of the bulls or bears after big moves in the stock market. The question becomes when do we surpass test and enter the next trend. Tomorrow is another light day of economic data. So Earnings will rule the day again. So who will win? The Bears or the Bulls.

Education is Fluid, or should be

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:54:06 PDT
Many have talked about this video already, but I like to set “post-trends” (you know, jumping on after all the cool kids already have!) Not only is this a wonderfully created video, it tells a powerful message. It’s no wonder America isn’t graduating enough science, tech, and math students and therefore loosing our innovation dominance in the world.

Have you heard, today is the Pennsylvania primary? Yes, here we are with yet another “Super Tuesday” like primary…another “must win” for the underdog Clinton, and another opportunity for Obama to show that he can compete in the larger states. I’m really into politics, as should be obvious since I post on a faith-politics website, and this process is getting long even for me. It seems like each state brings a new round of commentators, pundits, and bloggers saying that finally we will have a

Pennsylvania Election Results, Mapped Alongside Voters' Race, Age and Religion

Google's mapped the demographic data into an embeddable ma

Better Late Than Never

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 17:15:06 PDT
The AV Club has been running a series called Better Late Than Never, where their top critics admit to missing obvious, canonical stuff like Harold & Maude and then discuss what it’s like to finally experience it years later. In that vein: I try to act like a tech-savvy, hip blogger guy. But in the past week I caught up with three major web trends, and I thought I’d share some of my deep insights. I GOT A BLACKBERRY SMART PHONE. First impression: “Wow, I can check my e-mail while I’m w

Weak Cold Front Will Have Little Impact :

Tue, 22 Apr 2008 17:30:56 PDT
A weak cold front moving across the Lower Peninsula between late tonight and the wee hours of Wednesday morning will bring a little cloud cover our way, and likely little else.
