Top Gear drives the Aston Martin One-77

Writing about cars is oftentimes more than just facts and figures. Yes, there’s a place for that when you’re comparing how best to get the most of your money for a car whose sole purpose is to shuttle you from A to B, but some cars deserve so much more.

The Aston Martin One-77 is a car unique to history - one of the vaunted few automobiles whose development and emergence place as much priority on art as science. It deserves a more thoughtful write-up than just a comparison to whichever Ferrari or Lamborghini the authors had access. 

Thankfully Top Gear magazine found themselves with access, because they produced one of the finer hypercar reviews I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading. It spends as much time on the emotional as the physical; appropriate given that no one’s purchasing a 1.5 million dollar car for practical purposes.

Oh, and the pictures are amazing as well - but you probably already guessed that.

About

On my better days, I call myself an entrepreneur. Mostly I like to play in the nexus of technology and the Internet.

I run a consulting company that works with entertainment and government entities called Spytap Industries. S.I. has worked with a broad base of clientele including feature films, TV series, A-list talent, online content creators, Multi Channel Networks, The Department of Defense, DARPA, and The Congressional Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction and Terrorism (CPWMD).

I'm also the CEO of a stealth startup working to power the next phase of mainstream media (more on that soon.) At nights and on weekends I build things that I think should exist (online and off.)

Prior to this, I was the Director of Content Partnerships at Blip Networks, where you can discover the best in original web series. In a previous life I helped create United Talent Agency's online division - the first major agency division devoted to representing and monetizing online content.

From time to time I write essays on topics of interest such as politics, education, the future of mass media, and the effects that online content and piracy are having on traditional media. They normally go here.

I also contribute to Here's Some Awesome, a collaborative video curation site that showcases awesome online video.

This is my personal blog, So while it probably doesn't need to be said, all of the opinions here are solely my own or those of the people I reblog.
