Revving up the Ride of Your Life

from Tom Hogue , editor for Open Source Car Deisgn: Ride of Your Life

I drove to work today and, if I don't get carried away in this blog intro to Open Car Design (or whatever ever we eventually call it), I'll be driving back home in about a half hour. I enjoy the hour ride through rural farmland in Niagara to my home in Fonthill. I like cars. I know people who know a lot more than I do about cars, and I've been told I should wash it more often, but, sure, I think you could call me an above average consumer in terms of my knowledge.

Assignment Zero on Citizendium...

Assignment Zero has forked a bit. The first piece we're going to develop for publication is about Citizendium, an attempt to improve on Wikipedia "by adding 'gentle expert oversight' and requiring contributors to use their real names."

Lauren Sandler, John Abell and Michael Ho invite your help. The results will run on Wired.com at a future date.
