This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

Pump your car - and the volume - with Ovation iX Windows CE gas pump - Engadget


So now there is a windows CE based gas pump that promises to offer coffee, mp3's, weather etc... and even "full-motion, site-specific video commercials right on a dispenser-integrated 10.4-inch color display, with built-in speaker."

And just when I was getting used to being bombarded with advertisements when I go to retrieve my own money from the bank. Now I get to pay for gas and watch commercials at the same time. When did I die and go to advertiser's heaven? I particularly like the way they describe such advances in human living...

"Every day, tens of millions of Americans spend five minutes filling their tanks. If we can make those five minutes their most productive of the day, we not only add significant value to the consumer experience, we also help fuel retailers maximize the return on their technological investment. That retail focus is already beginning to shape a new vision of what fueling can -- and should -- be."


Vision of fueling?

I'm not so sure I want those five minutes of fueling to be my most productive of the day, especially if I'm standing there watching commercials on a 10 inch screen and waiting for a Slurpee coupon to print out.
