Epic MeFi post about “The Stand” – I read just about every link in the post, and I was inspired to buy the unabridged version for the Kindle. I’m not sure I ever read that version.

Coming Soon To A Pole Near You: A Bike That Locks Itself : The Two-Way : NPR – Cool! Of course, I haven’t ridden my bike in ages because of my knees. I’m actually thinking of selling it. Anybody interested?

Look at what two years on Mars did to the Curiosity Rover | The Verge – Those pictures made me oddly sad. Poor little robot. I wonder if I would’ve felt the same way if I’d never seen WALL-E?
