A normal sight for people driving near the Google headquarters in Mountain View, Ca., here are some quick shots of the Google Self Driving Vehicle, which is still in ‘Google Beta’ I assume.

I admit that the Google Self Driving Vehicle does amazingly well considering the notoriously bad local drivers in the Mountain View / Sunnyvale / Cupertino area, where you can see someone do a triple lane change at 10mph in a 45mph zone, on a daily basis.

SAN FRANCISCO, California — CoverHound today announced the naming of Keith Moore to its board of directors. Moore is currently the Chief Marketing Officer at AcademixDirect, Inc., after prior roles as General Manager at LendingTree and IAC, and Senior Vice President of the 2008 IAC spinoff Tree.com.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Keith to the team. He’s an insurance industry veteran and an efficient brand marketing expert who will be a valuable asset as we seek to make the CoverHound brand synonymous with finding the right coverage at the right price,” said Basil Enan, CoverHound Founder and CEO.

CoverHound is where smart shoppers find car insurance. Users can calculate their personal insurance needs, compare accurate rates from top carriers — and buy the right policy at the right price. The product will beta launch in January 2012.

Moore will join the CoverHound board alongside Jon Soberg, Senior Vice President at Blumberg Capital, and CoverHound Chairman Enan. This is yet another milestone in the short lifetime of the company, which recently launched CoverHound Insurance Solutions, a national full-service agency, and extended its footprint by opening an additional office in Southern California.

“CoverHound will be an innovation leader in both the insurance and comparison shopping marketplaces, so it’s definitely an honor to join their board,” said Moore. “I am looking forward to helping the team as CoverHound grows into a market leader.”

Moore has worked in Internet product development and marketing for more than 16 years, with deep knowledge and relationships within both the insurance and lead generation worlds. Other positions held by him include Chief Marketing Officer at iContact, Senior Vice President at LoanWeb.com and Vice President, Marketing, Sales and Internet Operations at Western Mutual Insurance, where he was responsible for developing, launching, and successfully marketing the web’s first homeowner’s insurance instant quotes with automated underwriting and preferred policy binding options.

“

Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works. The design of the Mac wasn’t what it looked like, although that was part of it. Primarily, it was how it worked. To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it’s all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don’t take the time to do that.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.

Unfortunately, that’s too rare a commodity. A lot of people in our industry haven’t had very diverse experiences. So they don’t have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem. The broader one’s understanding of the human experience, the better design we will have.

“

I went to Maui to stay a week and remained FIVE.

I never spent so pleasant a month before, or bade any place goodbye so regretfully.

I have not once thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness, and the memory of it will remain with me always.
