Sheila has a traffic peeve, as well.*

“Using technology devices” in a car probably belongs on David’s Driving Commandments but seeing as I’m lusting over the thought of building a computer into my car, complete with LCD screen on the dashboard, WiFi, GPS, chorded keyboard on the steering wheel, voice recognition, MP3 and DVD player, I think I had better nip any potential hypocrisy in the bud, eh?

*Speaking of Sheila, I met her at the last Meetup and she’s a dynamo. Let me plug her blog as very fun to read. It’s new enough for you to take a half hour and read from the beginning. You’ll be happy you did.

And… get this… she has a stack of business cards (including a friendly message and her email address) which she, honest to God, sticks under peoples’ windshield wipers if they are driving the same type of car she drives (hybrid). (I crack up just typing that.)

She’s the epitome of the kind of customer these manufacturers want evangelizing their product!
