While I normally only get to hit sites via RSS, the quality of your content always has me bookmarking it to come back to later. And usually that is from a desktop/laptop versus my N95. Very nice design and quality of work. (2) I don't think automakers should be bailed out. I know that the ramifications of the auto industry failing will be brutal of the world at large, but transportation needs to evolve, and doing the same things (for example: gov regulations needed to make automakers innovate, what the...) just doesn't make sense. (3) I'd rather see that money going towards investing in alternative energy development, bolstering more efficient modes of transportation, and fixing the energy grid so that its also more efficient. After that, the auto industry would have a new canvas with which to play, which would make it better for all of us. Amy, just a few things:
