With a design as head-turning as the 2015 Lincoln Continental concept, the Lincoln Motor Company surely knew it had a winner on its hands, but perhaps not this much of a winner. The automaker revealed its all-new 2017 Lincoln Continental in January, a very subtle evolution of the original concept, and already the company says it has a list of 40,000 interested buyers. The report comes from...

A working group commissioned by the Federal Aviation Administration has released a set of recommendations for how small drones should be regulated, opening a path for commercial drone flight over populated cities, and even creating a special class of drones that would be allowed to fly over large crowds at low altitudes. The report argues that drones that weigh 250 grams or less should be allowed...
Infrared Systems Researchers from the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratoy (CSAIL) have developed a new infrared depth-sensing and rangefinding system that can work outdoors just as well as it can indoors. This is already a significant improvement in the technology, given that measuring distance using infrared-based systems can easily be disrupted by ambient light. To work...
Any list of “dearly departed” road cars cannot be complete without mention of the storied Mazda RX-7. For many enthusiasts, it was the pinnacle of Japanese sports car engineering, and much of that boiled down to its very special (and high-revving) Wankel rotary engine. Mazda famously ended production of the Wankel in 2012, not particularly because it wanted to, but because it had to. The last...

RAMONE is a composition of non-fiction short stories and introspections by Reggie Tan.
Howdy. I first started blogging on RAMONE.ca in 2009, with a dedicated focus on men's lifestyle and stories of inebriation. Shortly after, I was listed as a top Canadian blogger, and over the next decade, I've collaborated with hundreds of notable brands.
Then I grew up. As of late, I've graduated to writing about life experiences, well-researched opinions, and hopefully a few things you might find useful.
This is my memory vault.
About me－Power user of technology. Style guy. Avid gamer. Obsessed with the Cybertruck. Lyrical poet. I like my beats bottom heavy. Madaline is ∞. Only God can judge me. INTP. Birthed in the East Coast of Canada by a pair of cool Filipino parents. Cautiously ADHD. I prefer my whisky neat with a tumbler of room-temp water. Otherwise, a pint of your best draught will do.
I'm a member of the anti-social club. Happily retired from Facebook or Instagram. My verified Twitter account was recently hacked. I do use LinkedIn for business.
