Been trying to figure out why the site was so slow for the last hour – Turns out it kept bothering flickr heaps of times.
Dunno why exactly, or at what point it would cache, but I don’t have time to look now so it’s disabled.
Meh.

I found the above article today – I thought it was interesting. I know it’s a little old but I kinda liked the sentiment behind it anyway… For the record I’m not super anti-American. I don’t hate anything and everything American purely because it is.
Infact, the whole anti-American thing probably makes me a little more tolerant of America – I have to question if what I’m reading/seeing/learning is the truth or somewhat tainted by the current trend of anti-Americanism.
Anyway, as well as being an interesting article, the Safeway logo is also the old Safeway logo we used to have before our local Safeway started trying super hard to be more Woolworths than Safeway (Having “The Fresh Food People” bigger than your brand name might be seen as an ususual marketing tactic).
Anyway, I had stuff to say about this article when I found it – I’ve forgotton it now, but I’m sharing anyway.
I discovered Dave still keeps a blog today. Unfortunately most of it’s friends only (for no real reason that I can identify) so I can’t link to it, but I’ll discuss some of it’s limited content on here in the near future.

It’s HUGE and knocks my search bar way way down.
I could fix the placement, but I dunno how to fix the size so I’m gunna put up with it for now.
That previous crash vid I posted reminded me of this article:

“Brilliance BS6 scores one star in crash tests but will still go on sale in Australia.New cars as cheap as $10,990 are about to zoom into the Australian market.Chinese models will be leading the way and are expected to shake up the local motoring scene, the way Korean cars did in the 1990s and Japanese makes in the 1970s.Budget-priced vehicles are also coming from India, Italy, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.China has hundreds of car makers with names such as Chery, Geely, Great Wall Motor, Nanjing, Hafei, Zhongxing, Zhonghua, Brilliance China and Shanghai Automotive.However, some of the Chinese models have fared poorly in European crash testing. The Brilliance BS6 sedan got only one star out of a possible five when tested last month, while an SUV Landwind made by Jiangling Motors scored a zero.
It was the worst result in 20 years of testing.”
