Caravan of cars, motorcycles heads to Iowa City to support kids with cancer

Iowans are known for their support of kids with cancer. The Hawkeye Wave to Stead Family Children’s Hospital is a long tradition.

It sparked the idea for Quad Cities residents to give even more. A group of drivers in cars and on motorcycles drove to Iowa City on Saturday to wave to the kids and drop off donations.

The event started early in the day with a free breakfast at the Main Event in Bettendorf.

The Rabbit r1 shipped half-baked, but that's kind of the point
The actual issues with the r1 are obvious: it doesn't have enough app integrations, and it "could just be an app." As to whether it could just be an app, and for people hung up on the idea that it runs on Android or uses some established APIs -- maybe you missed the whole pitch, which is that we already have way too many apps and the point is to offload a lot of common tasks and services to a simpler, less distraction-inducing device. The simple truth is I like the idea of the rabbit r1, and I'm OK with waiting until that idea has some time to mature.
