Kickstarter had a few really good ideas when it started, but most of them now just appear to be “online panhandling”. Gizmodo has “quit” kickstarter and I think most people will as well.

While much of the media has focused on the new 911 Carrera S, it’s the base Carrera that interests me more, especially in the upcoming AWD version. evo takes the 3.4 base 911 around and reviews it – it came out quite well against many of it’s price competitors, save the Nissan GT-R. I loved this article from the New York Times about cookbook ghostwriters. I believe it’s true that most celebrity cookbooks are not written by the celebrities themselves. Thanks Sarah!
