If you are not based in the Circle City, you might not know that it's been deluged with gigantic amounts of snow recently. (I guess this is happening all over the US, in fact.)

Now, I can't speak for the rest of the nation, but at least here in the Midwest this makes people unusually friendly. For example, my poor 2005 Scion tC has become severely stuck three times in the last few days. Each time, a total stranger appeared as if from nowhere to lend a push, a shovel, or some salt. Driving — or more accurately sliding — down a residential street in such conditions, such displays are common as friendly neighbors emerge from the warm comfort of their homes to perform various neighborly acts.

All this has me wondering, did Midwesterners earn their friendly reputation because of the nasty weather we have to endure? After all, we have to deal with this kind of thing all the time:

Turns out that love letters are out and text messaging is in.

And here I thought that cryptic blog posts were the best way of expressing oneself. I'm so far behind the times!

So at work, I'm trying to help NUVO get a little more organized and effective in its approach to doing video.

After all, I've got a lot of experience.

Hot on the heels of debuting a totally redesigned xB and the all-new xD, Toyota pulled back the curtain on the 2008 Scion tC.

With a tweaked front-end and standard smoked-out headlights on top of the 07's higher redline, modified tire pressure sensors, and iPod dock — not to mention the 06's steering wheel audio controls — the new model has this '05 tC owner wondering: Does it come in black?

You might have noticed I've been stricken with a case of blogger's block recently.
