The world being, every now and then, something cool happens. Yeah, the Aptera 2E is one of those things. Depending on how popular it gets, it could be a heavy alternative to most cars. While in California traffic, Steve Fambro wished he could make a car to go around the others in a special "high efficiency" lane. Well he made the car, now all thats left is or the lane. In California, he had good reason to ask for help from Detroit. Engineers, marketing brains, and management experts soon joined the team which ended up helping him score big in the Progressive Insurance "X Prize" using the cars prototype. Automobile says that it has most of the latest technology and controlling systems. This 3 wheel car has only 0.15 drag coefficient, weighs 2225 lbs, has 25% less friction than the average car. It has the equivalent of today's car's MPG, if it ran on gas, instead it runs entirely on electricity. It has a steel tubing frame, 20 hour battery life, and if very sturdy.
I think that it is a very good idea. But a "high efficiency lane" would only make traffic slower. Making the thing so light, they took out A LOT of good stuff such as moving windows, A TRUNK, a radio, etc. It is strictly for getting from place to place. Thats it. But with no gas and being "green" and all, I have a feeling that the car is going to be a hit. That is, depending on how much the thing costs, ;)

Current Events QTR 2 Week 1: 'Thriller': The movie? Hit song could moonwalk to the big screen
http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/10/27/michael-jackson-thriller-movie/
"~Cuz this is THHHRRIIILLLAAAA, THHRRIIILLLAAA NIIIGGHHHTTTSS!!!!~"
That's right, we've all heard it. Even if we all weren't lucky enough to see the video, I'm sure that anyone born in the 80's of even the early 90's or earlier has heard the song. But for those who have seen/enjoyed the Thriller video, I've got some good news for you. They're making a movie about it. Just in time for Halloween, too. You know what that means. Gettin' on the old red jacket and some yellow contacts. The directors going to be Kenny Ortega — who directed last year’s This is it along with Jeremy Garelick (the hangover) who's doing the screenplay. No one knows what the movie evens going to be about yet, but it is going to have to do with the song somehow. And with lyrics like "There ain’t no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl," There's not really any hints. Will it mean that it'll be a combo of a misty graveyard or MJ's awesome moves. NOBODY KNOWS...
I liked him a lot, for the few songs I actually know. And I have seen the video, and you could call that a video all by itself. But to take some old guy to do his part AFTER HE'S DEAD, is just crazy. I mean, they sold all his stuff, so they're not even going to be used. From the situation being, I think its going to be a flop. So I think that with a director They SAY is good, and a screenplay maker who obviously is better in comedy, it doesn't seem that good idea. I might see it, not if it gets the hype like This is it did, I'm good not sleeping in a tent and all that.

http://music-mix.ew.com/2010/10/07/lady-gaga-elton-john-new-album/

There is the REAL Elton I know. The one who in almost every picture would be flashing peace signs. Yes, he did from time to time wear some wild outfits,
But that DOES NOT make him the "Perfect match" for a song with Lady GaGa. Elton John does have "His own" type of music, But it is COMPLETEELY different from whatever the heck Lady GaGa's "Style" of music is. Those 2 people DO NOT match, i swear. If they both make a single, all He's gunna be doing is Playing piano or Acoustic Guitar. That is what i have to say about that.

Current Events Week 6: 'The Social Network': All hail Armie Hammer!
http://oscar-watch.ew.com/2010/10/05/the-social-network-all-hail-armie-hammer/
The Social Network. Wow. They're making movies off of websites now? What the heck?! I have not seen the movie yet, but as the people of fox 13 news, EW magazine and Mark Zuckerberg; the maker of Facebook himself, says that the movie used untrue, fake and humiliating storyline. The storyline is about a young man named Armie Hammer who played Mark and how he made the website and watched it grow. EW says that Armie did a great job in playin his part, but Mark says the parts were good, but not true. I would have to see the movie AND meet Mark to find out if the facts are correct, but all that EW associates is that he did a great job playing the (possibly fake) parts.
Apperently the main picture for the movie.
