Mileage

I’m on a miles per gallon kick.  We just took a long highway only trip to Chicago in the focus ST.  The EPA rating has it at 32 miles per gallon for highway driving.   We filled up twice, once where the average speed was 75+ (i was still getting passed!) and on the way back we kept the car just above 70.   No difference in mileage — 28.3 either way.   Thats just a bit more than Sarah is getting on her daily commute.   It will be interesting to see if we get closer to the EPA ‘perfect world’ numbers once spring and summer rolls around.  The ambient temps were in the ‘30s.

 I have to obsess on Sarah’s car because my Taurus SE is averaging around 20.  Bah Humbug.

This would be my nirvana for organizing things at the desk:

Computers tracking physical objects

Video Organizes Paper Documents. “The researchers’ system uses a computer and overhead video camera to track physical documents on a desk and automatically link them to appropriate electronic documents. The researchers have constructed a pair of prototypes that track paper documents and sort photos without the use of special tags, paper or marks.”
