A BETTER WAY TO GET TO WORK

Last month, Tesla announced plans to produce a sub-$30,000 electric car within four years, reinvigorating the excitement around affordable electric automobiles.

Along with ever-so rising cost of gas, demand for electric/hybrid cars has also risen. The upcoming Tesla isn’t the only affordable electric car on the market, there’s the Triac and the Aptera along with the already available (but hard to find) Toyota Prius Hybrid and the hybrid cars GM and Ford are producing that the Model S will have to compete with. Here at Rule 29, we are anxiously awaiting our chance to drive these sweet new green vehicles which will help to curb CO2 emissions.

We always knew that scooters were more energy efficient than cars, but the new electric scooters from GreenEmotor, have risen the bar, with a hypothetical 1800 mpg (it costs 12 cents to fully charge and can travel around 55 miles per charge, so for the $4 costs for a gallon of gas it can travel 1800 miles). One could make up the cost of the scooter in a couple months and look hip doing it.

What are you waiting for, when will you roll in an electric/hybrid car? Which one is your favorite? Gonna switch to a more energy efficient-scooter? How long do you think it will be before the majority of the country is driving alternative-fuel vehicles?

VISA MAGIC

August 14th, 2008

Your friends from Rule29 are excited about the Olympics. We had to post our favorite Visa commercial…yeah we teared up. Go USA! Now I don’t get the whole positioning behind the commercials, but they are well done and I’m just enjoying them. Do you have a favorite? or if you could compete in an Olympic sport what would it be?

JULYWHAT.JPG

This July was my 36th. Had a great B-Day month and it was full of summer goodness. BTW, can’t believe summer is almost over. Birthday magic kept coming in the form of some new 3G mojo. This month I read Persepolis, again, not enough. Enjoyed some summer movies: Batman was great (great social networking around this movie), X-Files not bad. Took my oldest to the American Idol concert… hey it was a good show. Rule29 was interviewed for a book, worked on several new projects, and did a lot of office move prep (check out our move video). Had great family times, especially the family road trip to Trail West in Buena Vista, CO. Biggest disappointment was my inconsistent ride schedule. Big century coming up on September 21 and September 28. I need to get on it!
