CCTV Africa
Finding video news about Africa is difficult. France24 is in French. No traditional American media outlet has a presence there. Al Jazeera sometimes has decent stuff. And Vice videos are a bit too dudebro for me.
CCTV Africa fills the void, a bit. You've got high def cameras, which actually give you a glimpse of what these faraway countries look like. Most of the stories are benign so there's no overt propaganda going on. Give it a try.

Tesla Model S alternatives
Last Thursday and Friday, while out and about in San Francisco and Walnut Creek, I spotted more than 30 Model Ss on the streets. The area is flooded with them. I know they're supposed to take sales away from large luxury cars like the Mercedes S-Class, but I just can't imagine Model S owners buying S-Classes instead if the Model S never existed. I would have thought they would go for something more modest, like a 5-Series BMW.
So I am going to ask Model S owners what they would have bought instead of a Model S. I am putting my findings on the right-hand column of this blog. So far, one Model S owner said he wasn't going to get another car at all, and another said he would have gotten a Nissan Leaf instead.
My goal is to ask 100 Model S owners on the street/in the parking lot.
What do you think they would have bought?

CNET's Brian Cooley reviews G63 AMG
Cooley is a funny guy. Did I mention that I saw him at this year's Anti-Football Run? He's tall.
Good guy Canadian PM
