		<title>An (almost) Year at AcuteAero</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The site&#8217;s almost a year old! Time for a little check-in about how we&#8217;ve been doing!
The About page has got a new, up to date section reflecting my outlook these days.
I&#8217;ve just moved to a new WP-theme, &#8220;Grey Matter&#8221; in favor of the old customized K2 with custom header and background that I thought vaguely [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Insanity of the Economy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Browsing BoingBoing today I saw this article. I clicked through and looked through the photos posted on the auction website. It&#8217;s worth a look. Here&#8217;s the story: wikipedia Chrysler&#8217;s Newark Assembly plant in Newark, Delaware built tanks between 1951 and 1957, and cars between 1957 and 2009, including LeBarons, Town and Countrys, and most recently [...]]]></description>

		<title>The fragile fabric</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Driving back to Albany from Santa Rosa on Sunday I witnessed a pretty gnarly car crash.
Basically- I noticed this aggressive driver in a black Passat with frat letters on the back when they passed me on the right. Drifting around in the lane, uneven acceleration. Decided to give them wide berth. As I followed directly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rabbit Diesel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Something strikes me as pretty funny about the car in this picture. Probably because I expect the driving experience in a diesel rabbit has got to be pretty wretched. Hey- I&#8217;ve got nothing but respect for terrible econoboxes boldly proclaiming their worst attributes!

		<title>Bad Engineering and the Bay Bridge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Bad Engineering
On Tuesday (10/27/09) I was driving back from Laney College up to my home in Albany. A ways in advance of where 880 splits off for (I guess) 80E and 80W (Bay Bridge) I realized we were merging out of the left lanes for the Bay Bridge- with flares and cones. No Caltrans [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What do you need if you are going to an autocross event with a racecar that has one number on the side, but you are going to be running two drivers? Well, you need another detachable number! What about if that racecar has beautiful but easily-lifted purple and yellow house paint on it? Well, you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Skateboard Nearing A Good Place</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In order to get the Skateboard (Facebreaker) a little less rough I&#8217;ve worked on a few things over the last couple weeks. Build process previously documented here and here.

Painted the frame to keep it from continuing to rust, and for STYLE, obviously.

Added these 1/16&#8243; thick HDPE strips to the middle bottom of the frame to [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Electric Mega-Skate-Board AKA &#8220;Facebreaker&#8221; Rides</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
If you didn&#8217;t see it, take a look at the previous skateboard post for an idea what this is all about- 
For now I&#8217;ll let the pictures tell the story:




Since the last post I finished welding up the frame, made a front axle on the lathe, acquired batteries and wired up the controls, assembled all [...]]]></description>
