I've been following advances in electric cars for nearly 50 years and advances in hybrids for 15. I started following electric cars while writing a paper in history class in seventh grade on current events. I started following hybrids when the Honda Insight was released in 1999. I also started following fuel-cell cars about that same time. The Xybrid expands on hybrid technologies, discussing new, potential, and conceptual technologies. If you're interested in cars, and especially if you're interested in hybrids and electric cars, then this book is for you, whether you understand how cars work or not.

In Search of a Right-Brained Computer is the story of my search to find a computer for my right-brained wife. Since I'm left-brained, this was perhaps a futile attempt. Yet I pursued it. What I found was what makes right- and left-brained people ask the same questions while asking different questions. I explore each of the main questions one might ask when purchasing a computer. I then go through a computer system I designed in an attempt to design a right-brained computer. Then I analyze where it came close to meeting its mark and where it fell short.

So, now Bob and Dilly had been best friends for a few days. They were playing in Bob's yard. They were playing trucks and "hide to the count of three" and "run this way and that" and "hide facing the house" and neat things like that. They were trying to think of what to play next. What would you want to play next? Bob yelled, "Run for your life! The Huggers are coming!" And Bob and Dilly ran for their lives.

Now at 150, Jamil is bored, even more bored than he was at 100. Then Jamil becomes disoriented, and somehow he ends up on a dance stage. Jamil found himself walking off the stage, in his elation. He couldn't stop himself, and it was a long way down.

It helps you understand the reasons why you shave and helps you figure out how to shave less and still be you. It takes a look at how being mindful in one daily activity can save the earth. Imagine, if we were all mindful in a few of our daily activities, how much more that would save the planet.

Poems that make you smile

Poems that make you groan

Poems that make you wonder

Why you're reading them alone

Poems that rhyme with rhythm

Poems that simply don't

Poems that to you make sense

Poems that surely won't

Who writes these poems anyway

Whose mind has gone astray

Just tell your tales the normal way

I don't have time to play

Poetry fans will like them

Laureates will not

Short stories added for a treat

To thicken out the plot

Danwe lived in a vase. It was not a regularly shaped vase. Danwe's vase had a tall cylindrical section. That is to say it was taller than it was wide. This section of the vase was similar in shape to a can of spam, but much nicer looking. This section was just tall enough for Danwe to stand and walk comfortably in. When I say Danwe lived in a vase, I mean he lived in a vase. That is to say, he never left. He had lived here all his life, all by himself. So what happens when Danwe finally leaves his vase and starts exploring? What will his world be like?
