I admit it. I’m addicted to HBO’s new science fiction series – Westworld.

The Model 3 is the final step in the company’s “Master Plan” to bring affordable electric vehicles to the masses and judging from the number of pre-orders I’d say it’s about to become […]
Back during the run-up to the 2008 election, I blogged about politics a lot and I do mean a lot.
