DIY 100MPG Prius
Have a Prius? Wish it could get 100MPG in the city? Maybe the Prius+ is for you. It’s a PHEV, a plug-in electric hybrid, which lets you recharge the batteries from an outlet as well as from the car’s motor.
The details look a bit daunting, but the folks behind the project are demonstrating that they can convert a Prius in a weekend at this months Maker Faire in the Bay Area.

I should have never found out about MyHeritage’s Face Recognition program. You can upload photos and see what celebrities their face recognition software matches you with. My most frequent matches were Melissa Gilbert, Renee Zellweger, Juliette Lewis, Marcia Cross, Kirsten Dunst and Emma Watson, with the occasional (and weird) Harrison Ford, Englebert Humperdinck and Conan O’Brian thrown in. When I ran this photo, Karen’s top match was Clark Gable and mine was Keith Ledger. So that was weird. Who do you look like?
