The 991-series Porsche 911 Carrera 4 looks, and is, awesome.

When it comes to the most luxurious of luxury automobiles, it’s Porsche or nothing for a lot of drivers.  A Porsche is a sign that you’ve made it, and some people will do anything for a Porsche if only to say they had one for a little while.  Porsche has unveiled the 2013 model of the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 991 series, an all-wheel-drive sports car that promises improved performance and greater fuel economy.  The 2013-model 911 Cabriolet also promises to have rear-biased all-wheel-drive as well, meaning Porsche is dedicated to the AWD concept.

Porsche is rapidly becoming a company concerned with looks, performance, and being green.  Tesla Motors pushed them to produce a green 918, and now they’re going for the road-hugging AWD to add to their reputation for extremely good handling.  I can’t help but wonder what Ferdinand Porsche would think about AWD if he were still alive.  I imagine he would be in favor of anything that might make his cars better, given Porsche’s historic embrace of all the bells and whistles of modern cars and their manufacturing.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
