Desktop cleanup
It's time for me to update my browser, which means it's time for me to dump a bunch of random links on y'all.
Trek Lime
A new line of "comfort" bikes from Trek, the Lime looks lighter than a cruiser and features an automatic three-speed transmission. I have a 2005 Specialized Sirrus Comp for riding the Portola Loop and such, but I've been looking for something for banging around town with the kids in tow. I've been thinking about the Novara Buzz, but the Trek Lime seems worth a look. They have them down at Palo Alto Bicycles, so a test ride is in order.
Ariel Atom
A lotta speed in a little package, the Atom is a racer for those who can't pony up a million bucks for a Bugatti Veyron. For just over $36,000, the Atom does 0 to 60 in 3.5 seconds (the supercharged model will get you to 60 in about 2.7 seconds). Of course, there aren't any doors, windsheilds, etc., and it's not street legal, but what do you want for a budget priced supercar? Automobile magazine has a good review of the Atom, and for gearheads, here's a good explanation of how the Ariel Atom works.
Google Maps Streetview
Since the Ariel Atom isn't street legal, we'll have to use Google's new Street View feature to see what's going on around town. Some folks wonder if this new feature is invading our privacy, but this isn't the first time that someone has done this (I first saw it when Amazon did it for their A9 service, I think).
Google Analytics
When you're done spying on people in the real world, here's free web tracking that's better than all of the stuff I ever paid for back when I was a professional web dork. 'Nuff said.
Quiddler
An interesting word game from the makers of Set. I haven't actually played it in real life, but the online version is fun.
Rosetta Stone
If Quiddler makes you want to brush up on your English, or switch to another language altogether, maybe you should try the Rosetta Stone approach. They associate words with pictures rather than translations, to create stronger mental bonds. I haven't tried it, but it seems like a good idea, and easy to learn for those traveling to foreign lands.
Wee Planets
Speaking of foreign lands, I'll leave you with this collection of out-of-this-world photographs.
Stay nutty out there, people.
