I blame my father, really, for my inexplicable love of car chases and the Smokey and the Bandit movies. I suppose that’s why I got so caught up in this Wired article about an attempt to break the Cannonball Run record. Two complete geeks (with lots of money and very little regard for speeding laws) planned to break the 22-year-old speed record for crossing the US from New York to Los Angeles in a car. Did they make it? You’ll have to read to the end to find out.
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
