Transportation
The first road certified electric motorcycle. $9,950 will get you the
Zero S or Zero all nice and street legal. There are some nifty tax
breaks as well.
The BMW C1 is back. As an electric. Still laughable.
Concepts cars you’re likely to see at the Tokyo motor show this year.
Lots of little electric urban run-abouts. I’m fascinated by the
retro-futuristic feel of some of the interiors.

DIY Halloween Edition
Because its Friday and I know you all are planning on spending the
weekend doing up the homestead for the upcoming festivities.
Autonomous roving pumpkin!
Cheaper than a real one. A paper skull for you mantelpiece.
Ultimate pumpkin chuckin’. Today we bomb Carnation, tomorrow the moon.

Science
We bombed the moon. This may have been a mistake. The comments are priceless.
Just so you don’t miss it the .wav file of Marvin scolding humanity
for it’s aggressive attack.

Art and Images
The man who arguably invented modern fashion photography is gone. RIP
Irving Penn.
Jim Flora has a be-bop sensibility that I love. I swear the drummer on
this calendar is Krupa.
The LOC has put another set of digitized images on-line. World War I
posters from countries on both sides of the conflict. Detailed
searching is available but starting here with the selected examples
will fill up your morning coffee break.
Apropos our favorite cocktail party/mailing list.
happy friday darlin’s
