Website of the Day: Command Shift 3

GeekSugar — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 13:00:44 -0800

Have you ever checked out hot or not, a website that rates men and women based on their supposed "hotness level"? Well there's now a website version (literally) called Command Shift 3, that has you click on websites that you think are hot (minus the nudity). On Command Shift 3, you will see screenshots of two websites side by side. You then get to select which one you think looks best, or you can declare a draw if you can't decide. It's solely based on aesthetics, so don't try to psychoanalyze the websites like I did. My favorite part is checking out the bests and worsts - there are truly some "hot" websites out there!

Is the Lexus HS Hybrid the Geekiest Car on the Road? Maybe!

I'm not a total gearhead, but I know a good car when I see one. I am especially intrigued by hybrid and fuel efficient cars, well, because I'm kinda cheap and like to save money. Although I personally don't have a car, I could see myself splurging on a Lexus HS Hybrid for more than one reason.

First, the HS has a ton (and I do mean a ton) of smart and high tech features, like voice command and touch control technology, a heads up display to help you keep your eyes on the road, rear cameras to give you a full view of what's behind when you shift to reverse, lane assist for when you're in cruise control, and a pre-collision radar to prepare you and the vehicle for impact. But that's not all folks, check out what else the HS is riding with when you read more.

The 34mpg HS comes stocked with a voice-activated nav and gps system, a premium audio set up, and connects seamlessly with your iPod and MP3 players via Bluetooth and USB. Phew! I'm tired just thinking about the I.Q. of this ride. But the price? It's a little on the high side at $34,200, but given the fact that the HS comes stocked with top-of-the-line features makes me go a little easier on the price tag.
