Today’s site is for the Aptera Electric Vehicle, and this thing looks just plain cool. Currently it’s only on sale in California, but with the pricetag of around $30,000 for the plug-in hybrid version (27k for the all electric). Sporting 120 miles on a single charge.

I cannot express how much I want this. Now.

There are a couple of sites for this week’s Wednesday Weblink.

First off the SuperLame! Comic Word Balloon Engine is a perfect little tool that takes *any* picture and lets you put those little speech baloons all over it. I cannot express how cool this is.

The next site, is Evernote. I have found that I have been using this a lot. It’s a great way to take notes of everything that you see and do on your computer or internet. The photo indexing feature alone has a coolness factor of 42!.

I wasn’t sure if you know about Twitter or not, but it’s a micro social networking site in which you send small messages (think SMS text messages) out to your networking group. I’ve created a twitter account for my blog: http://twitter.com/aotam. Sing up if you want, it’s free and painless, and won’t fill your inbox with spam.

We use it at work, so if a duck needs to send a message out to the rest of the ducks, he can twitter it, and the message goes out. We’re working on it so that we can have our equipment twitter the ducks their status (Help me!! I’m the Email server, and I’m about to fill up my hard drive).

Today’s Site of the Day, is Viewzi, which is a new way to go through all of the metadata attached to content out on the internet. Based on Google’s indexes, and indexs of other sites, you can tailor your searches to different “views”. Say you’re searching for “VNV Nation“; you have the ability to get your results in a multitude of different views. In this case, I want to get photos of the band, so click on the photo cloud view and >poof< in an instant, I get a photo cloud of all pictures VNV Nation related as found on Flickr where I can fart around and see the results in a cloud, expanding the could and my search from there. It’s similar for videos and music as well. I can’t stress how much I like this interface, the speed of it, and just how seamlessly it integrates together. It’s a rather new project, getting released only this past June, about a month ago but they have a lot to offer, right out of the gate. Within another 30-60 days they are supposedly offering the ability for you to create your own views so that you can release them out to the internet, thereby making it possible to have an infinate number of possibilities to view the web.

Woot!!!

Thanks to Amber and Leo at Net@Night for this.
