Question Internal Combustion


Wearing one red sandal and one blue sandal is my good friend and colleague Dale McLeod - Encinitas local, artist, surfer, and environmentalist. Dale drives a Toyota MR2 that has been converted to an electric vehicle. He is "currently" converting his Jetta into an electric vehicle.

We compared stories today about how people who drive internal combustion engines and pay $5 a gallon at the pump continue to question the functionality/practicality of an electric or hybrid car. Dale and I are working on a way to put informational brochures about hybrids and electrics on the actual car... you know, kind of how contractors attract customers by stashing brochures in plastic tubes attached to their trucks.

Foldables



I like the idea of being able to download a 2-D object, print it out, and turn it into something 3-dimensional or even useful.
