The guy I interviewed on Friday crashed. Danica Patrick and Jacques collided in the fourth turn. I was in the pits watching the Target crew and the mood turned very quiet. Some adult language was used. But, the race was fun anyway. Thanks to the Target team for being such great hosts! Better luck next season.

Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram. Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc). That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace. Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993. ++++++++ SPEAKER PITCH: Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next. SPEECH ABSTRACT #1: TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology? Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI Why "the Fourth Transformation?" Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap. This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV. This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #2: "The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law." Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world. He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world. He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small. ++++++++ SPEECH ABSTRACT #3: "Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?" As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world. What role does augmented reality play in both worlds? Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

Better luck next season? Target Chip Ganassi Racing has crashed out in nearly every race this year. It’s karma, Floyd’s got it comin’. It’s a bummer the Princess pinched down on your guy but it’s not like either one had a shot at anything but a top 10 or 15.
Come to Portland next year for the Champ Car race. Real Racing, Real Sport.
BTW, FTG!

First WordPress is slow and buggy, the page loads hang up everytime then I have to (F5) them to get them to load. Secondly, the Pit Crew using Adult Language? Call the PC Pit police! Gimme a break, was that even worth mentioning?

Looks like the target car must have bluescreened! Perhaps they shouldn’t run their car on Windows XP. 🙂

Ron: The car was runover by Danicka’s car. Not much he could do about it.
Crappy: the reason for that, I’m told, is the Toyota engines they had this year. They had less power than the Honda ones that other teams had. So they removed some downforce to try to keep up. When you do that you make the car harder to handle.

Robert, there is a WordPress Plugin that (may or may not, depending on how you see it) could clean up comments in a way. Instead of having to individually address people, you can reply to their comment and it will show it as threaded.
I know Larry Hyrb has that working over there.

I’m not a Danica fan or apologist although I’m glad for the PR she’s brought IRL. But, the replays were clear in this case that Jacques drifted up, Danica didn’t come down. Maybe she should have given him more room, especially if she knew (according to her bitter interview) that Jacques had been all over the track all day.
Reality check: “That’s racing” would have been the right answer for both of them to give in the interviews.

Jim, interesting. I only saw two replays and it wasn’t clear who was at fault. Of course my understanding of the event was colored by being in the Target pits at the time. 😉

If Jacques’ car was all over the place, that’d match what I’d heard earlier from TracksideOnline that the Target team’s car was underpowered and so they had removed some downforce from the car.

An ESPN article said that Jacque’s car was all over, but that Danica pinned him in and “didnt give him room” at points in the race. But…that is racing.

The lack of HP in the Toyota is the reason they don’t win. Lack of talent is why they twisted up a bunch of tubs this season. Cheever’s got Toyotas and they don’t stuff it as much as TCGR does. Foyt and Panther have use a Chevy and they don’t seem to have that problem, except when young Quatro exceeds his ability. The reason TCGR isn’t doing well isn’t because of Toyota. It’s because the suck.
