Hit the rock

Figuratively speaking, I don’t think any diamonds are conflict free.

(Note: my wife’s engagement ring is an aquamarine.)

Peoples’ waggin’

At a traffic light during my drive home yesterday, I noticed this car in the next lane:

In case you can’t see this iPhone photo too clearly, it’s of a Volkswagen Phaeton with a W 12 engine. According to the Wikipedia page for this car, it looks like the W 12 is the top of the line for a Phaeton. This means that I was on the road with someone who spent more than $100,000 on a Volkswagen.

Or maybe — given the letter-sequence of his license plate — he bought it used for around $55,000.

Either way, I may have found the stupidest driver in New Jersey. It’s a Volkswagen!

Happy iPodiversary!

It’s been seven years since the iPod was released! I think I bought my first one (a 10gb gen2) about 18 months later.
