This applies to any job: work where what you do is the core discipline. At a law firm, be a lawyer. At a medical practice, be a doctor. As a software engineer, work at a company where software is the product. Don’t write software at an insu

I believe Tim Ferriss said he wrote his first book entirely in Evernote but now raves (with others) about Scrivener. Keep up the good work.

Have the trip details (like route) been released yet? Is he only stopping at Supercharger location? I'd like to meet him and follow along a while. I'm not a stalker. Really. :)

Most 'normal' people already give electric vehicles a cynical eye. The people who already believe in them don't need more convincing. The cynics need convincing. A breakdown will only make them think "I knew it"

I'm in agreement with you on this. OUYA has proven to be very receptive to community feedback so it's good to voice concerns. It has a good chance of being reassessed.
