Tesla Motors introduced the new Model S sedan this week. This new EV (electric vehicle) will most likely be built in Southern California, not San Jose as previously announced.
The good news: It can be charged in 45 minutes, can drive up to 480 km (300 miles) on one charge, will do 0-96 kph (0-60 mph) in [...]

Californian me
I like California, there’s no denying it, and so far California seems to like me. At least I feel very welcome here, and the place has started to feel like home. I’ve also picked up some Californian habits, like working out and eating healthy.
Report from the Spring 2007 VON Expo
The Spring 2007 VON Expo in San Jose, CA was both impressive, and a little underwhelming, all at the same time.

Staying in Los Gatos, CA
I’m staying in Los Gatos, CA at a friend’s house for most of December. Unfortunately I won’t get much time to look around as I’m quite busy working, but I hope to get some more pictures of the area eventually. Here’s what I’ve got so far…
