The end of the sidewalk, where the concrete meets the rabbit-bitten grass. Seemed important at the time.

Driving around last night, it was easy to tell the intersections that had flooded by all debris.

I wish there was someplace you could look up intersections that are likely to flood during heavy rains. Like I know to avoid first street just south of Lincoln in Milwaukee during heavy rains, but there should be a list.

When I drove into work last night, I only had to turn around twice because of flooding.

I don't think there ever was a Beatles of Indie Rock, but the closest would maybe have been R.E.M.?

The world's smallest guitar is 10 micrometers long -- about the size of a single cell -- with six strings each about 50 nanometers, or 100 atoms, wide. Made by Cornell University researchers from crystalline silicon, it demonstrates a new technology for a new generation of electromechanical devices.

Made by Cornell University researchers from crystalline silicon, it demonstrates a new technology for a new generation of electromechanical devices.

This is the world's smallest (working) guitar, carved from a grain of crystalline silicon by scientists at Cornell Nanofabrication Lab in 1997.

It's ~10 μm long, smaller than a red blood cell.

If you 'plucked' the strings with a laser, they'd resonate at 40 MHz, 15 octaves above human hearing.

I've been building Star Wars and Transformers Lego sets recently. A couple times during every build, I won't be able to find a piece and I'll think Lego left it out only to find it under the manual or something. It finally happened though, I'm finally missing a piece. :(

The bad part of getting older is that you become an NPC, the good part is that being an NPC rocks. Nothing like walking down the street with a thought bubble that's just a sandwich you're looking forward to. Protagonism is best left to teens and the insane
