One of Ford’s senior marketing executives was even blunter: “The only time those S.U.V.s are going to be off-road is when they miss the driveway at 3 a.m.”
A really great read about SUVs and that part of the auto industry.
“Facebook can be terrific, if we use it properly,” Cacioppo continues. “It’s like a car. You can drive it to pick up your friends. Or you can drive alone.” But hasn’t the car increased loneliness? If cars created the suburbs, surely they also created isolation. “That’s because of how we use cars,” Cacioppo replies. “How we use these technologies can lead to more integration, rather than more isolation.”
A really interesting read. Long for an internet shaped brain, but do try. Lots of interesting viewpoints on a fairly trendy topic.
I really love using instagram. I trust Facebook to not ruin it, although it is hard to judge what will happen.
As usual I am repeatedly amazed by the quality of the iPhone camera… getting such nice shallow depth of field from my phone is just… great. :)
Really nice article on Tesla, focusing on the Model S. My god I hope they are successful.
I’m all about the EV. If I wasn’t though…… mmmmmmmmm. (photo credit to Autoblog). (Having said that, I don’t think credit for photography exists on tumblr?) California Special also, always.
Empty airport terminal photographs were so damned cool on Flickr back in the day, I dunno 2005-2006 I guess. I still really like this shot even though it is not trendy ;-)
The colour that the fluorescent lighting makes on film is really to die for (to my eyes) and this was a genuinely weirdly empty airport in the respect that it seemed as though there was a whole wing (Milan btw) that had almost no one in except for two guys using a piece of scaffolding on wheels to remove ceiling tiles and look for something I guess. By the time we left there were about 30 tiles missing (around a square meter each, kinda random).
Anyway, I love the colours, the emptiness. Oh, and the throwback to flickr-hipsterism. :D
It’s funny, I used to be so ‘bored’ of anything British, when I was younger, say in my late teens. I used to think anywhere else would be more interesting, Europe, America. Nowadays I really love almost anything British. Especially the countryside.
This photo is just from any random walk with the dog, heading down towards the Shropshire union canal. I love all the great trees around this area, and although they are a bit desolate in the winter, there’s something very appealing about all the lines you can see.
This is one of my most liked (and played) tracks in a very long time. It is a totally serene bit of music that just makes me think.
