Spent today coding and sailing - WLYC Turkey Day (a complete drifter, but fun anyway) ...
 Okay, is this the craziest possible mountain biking video? 
 Or is this one even crazier?
 Actually I think this one ... you will not believe it!
(These GoPro cameras are everywhere...)
This is pretty interesting ... why indoor navigation is so hard. If you've ever been in a hospital - or a large shopping mall! - you can appreciate the need for a solution.
From Powerline: the latest in the climate fail files. "Japan is having to revise its target upward because of its rash decision to phase out nuclear power in the aftermath of the Fukushima disaster. You would think environmentalists would be pleased at this. But over 95 percent of Japan’s replacement energy is coming from hydrocarbons (coal, oil, and gas). Oops." Yeah the rationale response would have been to make nuclear plants safer, instead of getting rid of them. The cost would have been lower, too.
 This is great: astonishing hi-fi components. Using tubes, of course ... as pretty as they sound.
 Excellent: USC professor receives NASA grant to develop 3D-printed space homes.
 Good thing, because NASA is sending another neat probe to Mars. Perfect location for the next housing settlement :)
 So ... which skyscraper is tallest? It's complicated... when is a mast a tower, and when is it "just" an antenna? I love the concept of "vanity height"; the percentage of a building which is above the highest habitable point.
 Wrapping up, here we have a baby hedgehog, after a bath. You're welcome :)
