A test vehicle for Cruise Automation, a California startup that wants to build an autonomous driving "kit" that can be installed on existing cars, was involved in a minor car accident in San Francisco earlier this month. It’s not entirely clear if it was caused by a malfunction of the self-driving system or driver error, but it seems likely that the accident isn’t one that...
A few weeks ago many witnessed history in the making. If you’re a total sci-fi nerd like me with dreams of conquering space, you already know what this is about. If not, well, lets just say this article has very little to do with the Miss Universe controversy. (Nearly) everyone’s favourite aerospace manufacturer and space transport company SpaceX reached a pinnacle milestone recently...

The holidays are here! With the chaos of Christmas shopping and the seemingly endless holiday parties flooding your calendar, it’s time to start picking away at the little things that eventually add up.

In recent years, we’ve seen an influx of luxury car brands releasing vehicles that strive to fit the solid middle ground between affordable and envy. Among them, you’ll find the 2016 Acura ILX sitting comfortably between the BMW 2 Series, Audi A3, and many other the basic luxury sedans. The $30,000 range is a hot little market. There’s a specific target audience for this vehicle...

There’s some kind of aura that comes into play while you’re commanding a new Range Rover. Actually, I take that back.

You can sense the hundreds of thousands of hours spent defining its visually captivating design, and presumably more building the advanced...
The battle looks chaotic in the background as Covenant and Forerunners battle it out on the land and sky. I reload my clip while surveying the scene, listening to Fireteam Osiris member Edward Buck mention to Commander Locke the location of our objective: Dr Halsey was last seen in the caves up ahead. We sprint from the view of the battlefield and engage in a closer firefight of the two races. I...
I drove past this kid a few days ago. He couldn’t have been older than 16. He was dribbling his basketball down the street, lagging behind his friends. He did the occasional jump shot, presumably for the repetition of working on his form, but most likely to break the monotony of dribbling. Kid stuff, you know. I drove by him in the new, dark red 2016 Land Rover LR4. The kid froze. Gripping...
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.
