Cadillac CTS-V Posts Record Nurburgring Time
Posted by Stretch | Filed under Cars
The Cadillac CTS-V has posted a record lap time on the Nurburgring. Just under 8 minutes, at 7:59.32, its the fastest production sedan around the track.
Just to put it in perspective, according to Wikipedia, the 2005 Aston Martin V8 Vantage did it in 8:03, the Dodge Viper SRT-10 lapped it at 7:59, and the Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale posted a 7:56 lap time.
Maybe GM has figured out how to produce a decent performance car that can actually be usable. The Corvette is currently the only car they offer with any decent performance. Hopefully they have quality control under control on the CTS-V also.

Inquisitor Acquired By Yahoo
Posted by Stretch | Filed under Apple, Software
Inquisitor has been bought by Yahoo!.
Inquisitor is the Spotlight for Safari. You can set it to search which ever search engine you want, and it comes back with pretty good results most of the time. Created by David Watanabe, it has been the recent target of some controversy because of Affiliate redirecting.
Not sure why Yahoo! would want this plugin, since it only works with Safari, but Wanatabe has stated that he is not joining the Yahoo! payroll, and will continue to develop his other applications, and also continue work on Inquisitor.

Time to sit down and start working on this thing again. I’ve gotten the WP 2.5.1 update, and I really like it so far. New theme for the front page, and for the admin. I’m using a modified version of Colourise for the front end, and Fluency Admin for the admin theme. I’m going to be working with MHC tomorrow morning to import some of her blog into this one.
I’ve had alot happening to me lately, so expect some decent posts in the near future, and I’ll try my hardest not to let it go dormant again.
