I know, I'm late again. I'm digging up all kinds of old Internet lore. This one is from one of my favorite authors, Larry Niven. It's his essay on the trouble with Superman and Lois having kids. Worth a read, even if only for purile humor.

Okay, maybe it's old news to everyone else, but I've just discovered XKCD, a webcomic with a mathematical bent. Oh, this is just delicious.

My old Prizm (the one that I was originally going to convert to electric) was just towed away for donation to WMFE, the local NPR / public television station.
I learned a lot about the art of towing by watching and talking with the driver.

Oh, you've gotta love the East Orlando freecycling group. Somebody advertised four 14" Honda Civic tires with hubcaps. Since the tires on my Hatchback have been failing in new and iteresting ways, we've been sharing six tires between these two cars. So we jumped at this.
