 New OneNote Blog from Microsoft  
 

Jeff Cardon of the Microsoft OneNote development team has started a new blog on OneNote Tips & Tricks:

OneNote is a true "killer application", an example of Microsoft at it's best. Look over my prior Microsoft blog postings, or especially at this one where OneNote and a TabletPC is used to record track tips right on a map of the track.  See the postings here: http://www.drivingenthusiast.net/sec-blog/categories/computersMicrosoftOffice2007/2006/02/28.html#a1329

and the track map here:


Whether you've got a TabletPC or not, this is the killer way to store your notes at the track. Alignments, tire pressures, other setup infirmation, notes on the track, events results, and more. I also use it at my work and on my home PC - everything is stored in OneNote, nothing is written on paper, and everything is searchable (even your handwriting and images).

 ZR-1 at 205 MPH  
 

It's always nice to see a manufacturer testing their performance car at the absolute limits... and holding it there.  While few people will have an opportunity to go over 200 MPH in their lifetime, this kind of testing is still very important because it shows how durable the engine, drivetrain, and especially the integrity of the aero and cooling engineering.

Even for thos eof us on conventional" racetracks, who may only hit ~150 briefly, this kind of testing ensures the car will repeatedly hit that ~150 in any kind of temperature - be it the nice cool summers of the Finger Lakes at Watkins Glen, or the blisteirng hot summers of Texas at TWS.

Kudos to GM for the engineering of the ZR-1 engine and the entire package. Especially note the two intercooler cores.

The following video was supplied by GM's new blog "GMnext": http://blog.gmnext.com/?p=133 - note the RSS subscription that is available!
