Posted by & filed under Blue-Sky, Geekery, Open Source, Rants.

Cast your imagination ahead 25 years.  It’ll be 2035 (and I’ll be 58; eek!), and my 2006 MINI will be 29 years old, or about as old as the first BMW E30s are today.  My 2000 SV650 will be 35 years old, my first car—a 1987 Pontiac Grand Am—will be 48.  Many car and motorcycle… Read more »
