Via CNN. My only question: Did they support XHTML output?

I've been following the Tesla Motors story for about a year and a half now. When my wife had some points to burn on her credit card rewards program, she asked me if I wanted a DVD of Who Killed the Electric Car?. I said yes. We watched it tonight. It made me sad, frustrated, angry - but I'm still glad I watched it. Has anyone had a successful electrical conversion of their hybrid car?

The writer's strike might actually be good for ABC's Lost Season 4, which starts on its new night this Thursday - don't forget! This being one of the few shows with more than a handful of episodes (8) while other shows are airing the bits and pieces they have saved up from before the writer's strike. Any suggestions on how to sedate my kids by 7 AM CST (8 PM EST) on Thursdays?

But where, oh where, is Jess of Apropos of Something? I will really be disappointed if I don't have Lost-vivor to look forward to this year.

Where's the best place to get Kung Pao in the Chicago area? Bonus points if it's in the NorthWest suburbs...

Lots of groundswell to try and save NBC's "Journeyman", a well-written serial drama with great writing and tons of potential. Looks like no more episodes have been ordered and episode 12 may be it for this show - so if there's an opportunity to save the show, it closes within the next couple weeks. There are a couple plans out there:

  • Groundlings say to watch Journeyman episodes online Monday night via NBC's website. This costs you nothing, but would send the network a message that there is a fan base. If you've never seen the show, start with the pilot, of course 🙂
  • A comment at the above blog gave out the name of the press manager for the show:

    Park, Joanne

    Senior Press Manager - NBC Entertainment Publicity (Project Assignment: “It’s a Wonderful Life” “The Singles Table” “Journeyman” “The Office”)

    Phone: (818) 840-4579

    Fax: (818) 840-4943

    Email: joanne.park@nbcuni.com

  • Sign an online petition. Mostly worthless, but it doesn't hurt.
  • SaveJourneyman.net is planning to send either Rice-a-Roni or Aspirin to the network (show-related). I might even consider this once the campaign has made up their minds.

I know it's kind of sad to see somebody whining about how their favorite show is on the chopping block - and oh, the injustice in the world (or at least in the business of network television). Ah well, at least I did my bit to spread the word. That's what these self-serving, narcissistic blogs are about, right? 😉
