Autoblog

You may remember my giddiness last September when we learned that Autoblog had been seen on the jumbotron behind Steve Jobs in the latest keynote for Apple. While demoing some cool new stuff that Apple's Mail program would be able to do when the new OS comes out, one could see the subject of a few emails were Autoblog post titles. Today we found out why they were there, and as a few commenters speculated back then, Apple's new Mail program will be able to incorporate RSS feeds. The company's latest Stevenote was today, and Autoblog has been featured front and center again in the demo video highlighting Mail's new features. Click this link to visit Apple's demo page for Leopard, the newest version of its OSX operating system. Click the "Watch the Demo" link for Mail and wait until the end when Autoblog gets a much appreciated free plug from his Steveness. Thanks Apple!

Hat tip to everyone who let us know about this!

From the house of Winston Smith's Cool Guy Stuff comes this postal-issue jeep, fresh off the kind of arcane pimping that we come to expect from eBay. A Hot Indian Red 1983 AM General Jeep that was once a lowly carrier of New Jersey mail. A poker fan bought it, and his shop turned it into what you see here. It was pimped on a budget, so there are some minor issues with it, but it did get a 120-watt CD player, a couple of speakers, and a removable 10-inch DVD player that you can watch as you play Hold 'Em in the built in poker table. That's right, a built in poker table. And if that weren't enough, it has -- you guessed it -- electric floor mats with lighting neon flames. The Jeep comes complete with poker chips, cards, and case for the winner, and you can even get the original mail tray. The seller makes sure to state right away that it can still run a mail route. However, the Jeep does not come with the model in the pink thong, pink high heels, and sweatpants that declares "I'm Pink" across the back. Welcome to Jersey. Game on.
