mazda 3 review

this weblog has long suffered in the purgatory known as "i-am-way-too-busy-to-post-stupid-crap-anywhere-other-than-facebook-land." so let's resurrect it with everybody's favorite: a rental car review!



last week i had to fly out for a press check on a sunday (boo!) and monday was my birthday (BOOOOOOOO!) but this car was my little birthday miracle. for starters, it was black. always nice to have something other than white, burgundy or gold. second, it was reasonably fast and handled mighty nicely.

but the vehicular icing on the birthday cake: BLUETOOTH HANDSFREE. i got to make telephone calls from the steering wheel and every time i got in the car it started playing MY music from MY phone.

i love the future.

5 out of 5 rental car stars.

i received a canon powershot G9 as a birthday gift and am already enthralled with the dense feature set packed into its relatively compact body. today i snagged the wide angle lense and adapter, boy, they aren't kidding when they say WIDE:
