Can't figure out how to post a video, so just the link.

Game changer. ~25 mile range. 7 hour recharge from a 120VAC 15A cord. 1 hour from a dryer receptacle (240VAC 30A.) The redundancy and battery safety features seem well thought out. Cost will be around the cost of an SUV (the spokesperson didn't give actual numbers.)
Carl Sagan. Humble and very deep. I believe that his thoughts will become more and more popular and relevant, until future generations think of him like we now think of Einstein. I dearly hope that we make the leap into being a space-faring species, and soon.

Super bored during my recovery from surgery. Surfing around on Youtube for interesting videos.
Video of a roped, free climbing attempt on Great Sail Peak on Baffin Island in Nunavut Territory in the Canadian Arctic. Roped free climbing is where the climbers scale a route using only natural handholds and footholds. The rope and protection points are used to protect from falls rather than as a means of hoisting oneself up the route (aid climbing). The route is technically quite hard as shown in the videography.
Interesting footage on the logisitics of staging a big climb in the Arctic early on. Beatiful scenery throughout. Great climbing footage starts around 5:00 minutes.

Bum went to prison for doing that, but I don't think he got a beat down. Manager said he had to pay a dollar, he refused, and they called the cops. Arrested him for theft, and with his extensive criminal record he got a couple years for pulling the old soda in the water cup trick. That's why the courtesy cups are so small and colored differently. Employees can tell its a water cup from across the room.
