Like many modern cities, Brisbane was serviced by an efficient electric tram network until the ’70s, when it was ripped up and diesel buses took the place of trams. We’ve all seen Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, and so we know who was really behind that move. In a retro revolution, … [continued]

Let’s start out with the blunt reality that I didn’t bother to watch the Tesla reveal event in real-time, or even consider watching the event. Tesla reveal parties stopped being particularly relevant a few years ago. The Tesla Semi reveal was the last one of any significance from my perspective. … [continued]
