A Quote from Apichatpong Weerasethakul

"I, as a filmmaker, treat my works as I do my own sons or daughters. I don't care if people are fond of them or despise them, as long as I created them with my best intentions and efforts. If these offspring of mine cannot live in their own country for whatever reason, let them be free. There is no reason to mutilate them in fear of the system. Otherwise there is no reason for one to continue making art"

- Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2010 Palme d'Or prize

Zap to do three-wheeled car in 2009

By Michael Kanellos

Staff Writer, CNET News.com Published: January 31, 2008 1:42 PM PST

Zap, the electric car company based in Santa Rosa, Calif., is adding another electric car to its lineup.

The three-wheeled Alias, due to go into production in 2009, will have a top speed of over 100 miles an hour and go 150 miles on a charge, according to Zap. It will sell for $30,000. The Alias will also likely come with a hybrid range extender, a small gas motor that can power the car or charge the battery.

The Alias will actually be made by a joint venture between Zap and China's Youngman Automotive Group. The company has an animated video of the prototype here. Zap said last year it planned to release a $30,000 electric car in 2009 but didn't mention at the time that it was a three-wheeler.

Zap also sells a three-wheeled low-speed electric car. (Check out the test drive here. It was a bit scary to drive, but we got noticed.)

Until recently, three-wheelers have occupied a niche of a niche of a niche. Some European companies made them back in the 1950s and '60s. And an evil villain drove one in Goldmember, the third movie in the Austin Powers trilogy.

Some three-wheelers, though, are going upscale. Venture Vehicles plans to bring three-wheeled hybrids and electric cars that would sell in the $20,000 range to the States starting next year.

Three-wheelers don't weigh as much as their four-wheeled counterparts, so they can go farther on a charge than regular electric cars. They are smaller, too, making them easier to park in cities.

Three-wheelers can also get to the market faster because they are classified as motorcycles, which means there is less safety testing. And they can be fun to drive. Venture's cars, based on a car design from the Netherlands, will tilt into turns like a motorcycle.

Zap, though, has many skeptics, and the company has many projects still in the works. It is also coming out with the Zap-X, an electric SUV later this year.

Zap, for its part, notes it is working on these projects with Group Lotus, a British car company. The Alias, in fact, grew out of the Zap-X project.

Mercy (by Duffy)

Duffy Lyrics

*Downloaded this from www.metrolyrics.com

Uncertain

I want to say something

But don’t know really

What to utter

My Mind has plenty

Of words that

My Heart dictates

But my Mouth

Decides to keep silent

So my Hand inscribes instead

I am writing now

But don’t know exactly

What to write

I point the pen on the paper

Write… Erase…

Write… Erase…

My existence

Is like words

That I write and erase…

(Things that I want

To Remember

And Forget)

A chest wants to explode

A tear wants to fall

But stillness prevails

I look around

I put down the pen

Then I close my eyes

I breathe…

I hear the anger

Inside me

I breathe…

Breathe so hard

Try to release the pain

(Inhale… Exhale…

Inhale… Exhale…

Inhale… Exhale…)

The night cries

And trembles

As I grief

When will it end?

Just wait…

Just wait…

One day, the Sun I long to rise

And to light the Morning bud

Will bloom to a brighter tomorrow

But when?

I don’t know…

I don’t know…

Just wait…

Tomorrow will come

But I don’t know when…
