This is not a rant about the intertubes or my lack of self-control when it comes to IMing my writer friends.
It is a weak excuse for taking four months to update my personal web site.
I have an active online presence; really, I’m everywhere. I’m on Twitter (the feed is down there in the right-hand corner [...]
Surprisingly, I’ve never read Great Expectations, though I bet I would like it. (Anyone who slogged through the middle of The Count of Monte Cristo would probably like G.E., right?) But I have great expectations every, oh, 20 minutes or so. This is usually great, but the letdown can be awful.
I have been a fount [...]
Last week, I cleared out some time in my schedule to bring my car in for a recall repair at the dealership (no, it’s not a Toyota and it has nothing to do with brakes). I visited the manufacturer’s web site — that’s how I found out about the recall — and made my appointment [...]
About a month ago, I bought myself a little Asus netbook. It’s wee, and blue, and I love it. I will love it more when I have to lug it around an auto show for two days and it doesn’t tear my shoulder apart like my five-and-a-half-pound laptop did, no matter what bag I used.
But [...]
I went to a lovely lunch last week with Dan Kapp, who’s been in Ford’s powertrain division for 31 years, ever since he got out of college. He spoke to the group of NWAPA members and local media for over an hour about EcoBoost, hybrids, clean diesels, Ford’s long-term plans … he really covered a [...]
I’ve been given a new blog all my own, though it’s still part of the RiverWired.com universe. Check it out at GoodGreenCars.com. There aren’t many posts yet — I heard about it Monday and it went live yesterday — but I’ll be posting more often here than I did on RiverWired.com.
The new blog is all [...]
Had lunch with GM honcho Bob Lutz on Tuesday in Seattle. It was interesting to talk to Mr. Lutz, as he’s on a kind of PR tour to counteract the negative image people have about the company. Also, the restaurant used fresh local berries in its desserts. Tasty. Read about Mr. Lutz’s comments (and not [...]

I have a new email address: khg[at]kristenhallgeisler[dot]com. Please send all writing- and editing-related correspondence, including that seven-figure book advance for “Lightning in a Throttle,” to this address.
I haven’t posted much here lately because I’ve been writing green-car blog posts at RiverWired.com. Topics range from hot cars like the Tesla roadster and forthcoming Fisker to decidedly not hot vehicles like hybrid garbage trucks from Volvo.
Well, obviously not, since I didn’t know about this post on Autobloggreen.com until today. Since I’m now, as a RiverWired.com blogger, monitoring Autobloggreen’s every post, I’m happy to see that my article in the November 25 edition of the NY Times was worth a mention.
I’ve got a couple of new projects these days. The first is a new blog, RiverWired.com, that I’ll be writing posts for in the future. I’ve already written a couple, but we’re still working out the details. They tell me that I’ll have my own space to post green car news, which is exactly what [...]
