On Friday, we did an extensive overhaul of the site’s Privacy Policy to better reflect what data we collect and your options for controlling or limiting that data. We have subsequently made several minor changes to clarify the new wording. Please review the new version by clicking here. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Updates on policies or other administrative stuff.
Updated Terms of Use
In addition to updating the Privacy Policy, we’ve made a few minor revisions to the Terms of Use. In particular, we wanted to point out that when people submit comments — which as you’ve probably noticed are moderated — we may occasionally respond to the comment via email before or instead of approving the comment. (For example, if the comment includes the person’s phone number or email address, we will usually contact the commenter to ask, “Are you absolutely sure you want to do that?”)
Site migration
If you’re a regular reader, you’ve probably noticed our new look: We’re now on a new and considerably updated content management system with what we’re hoping will be better functionality and better security.
This process has been not unlike swapping an engine into a car in which it was never designed to go and there are probably going to be some glitches. (There was a problem with the redirections from old URLs that we’re hoping is now fixed.) If you find technical problems, please let us know.
Privacy Policy updated
I’ve just finished updating the site’s Privacy Policy. I had made some minor changes yesterday, but opted to make some additional revisions this evening. I encourage you to review the updated policy and let me know if you have any questions or concerns. The easiest way to reach me is via the Contact Form.
Special Announcement: Petersen Automotive Museum Needs You
If you live in the Los Angeles area, the Petersen Automotive Museum is looking for volunteers. For more information, see their volunteer page http://www.petersen.org/membership-and-support/volunteer.
I’m not affiliated with the museum in any way and have no business relationship with them (although I did a bit of temp work for them back in 2008 or thereabouts), but I’ve been there many times and they’ve been kind enough to invite me to some of their special events. If you are in or visiting L.A. and you’ve never been, it’s well worth checking out.
