The majority of us, if not all who read this, spend a great deal of their day on the endless cement network of highways, back roads, main streets, parkways, and parking lots. Regardless of whether or not we’re in the most mundane of family shuttles or face-melting speed machines, there is always, at some point, the inescapable sense of confinement. Traffic, road work, or even the errant deer will throw a monkey wrench in the transport system, immediately awakening the reality that ultimately, we’re no more free to roam than a slot car on the living room floor.

It’s been awhile since I posted, but I promise I have a good reason. It’s called the holidays and working in retail makes them crazy! With the kinds of customers out there and the amount of money changing hands, it’s almost impossible to do things that YOU want to do during that period of time.

The good news, though, is that I finally got to do something that I’ve been wanting to: a review of Verizon and Motorola’s attempt at the iPhone killer, the Droid. I will say that it’s a good try, but no cigar. And to preface this, while I am an iPhone owner, I do look at each device I test as objectively as possible. Any sort of bias on my part would be unfair to you. So, with that said, let’s proceed…

We have all found ways to satiate our car lust in the interim time that our supercar of choice is unavailable. Whether it’s a hot wheel collection, a magazine, or oft-visited website (made up of handsome, exciting, and popular contributors), our greatest automotive fantasies are constructed with the materials available to us. Being just shy of 30 (Renew!), I’m fortunate enough to have been a part of the generation that grew up on the magical device that allows us to vicariously experience our wildest fantasies from the comfort of our living room: the home video game console.
