Transportation
I’m not actually that fond of the Triumph/Indian/Whathaveyou vintage bobber idea. So the Royal-Enfield item doesn’t do it for me. But some of the detailing and engraving on this machine are awesome.
1962 CZ 175 Type 450. Showing how old school bikes were adapted for dirt. Back before there were “dirt bikes”
I shall now die fulfilled. Mercedes-Benz, AMG and Ducati together at last.
This weird little bike is based, loosely, on a Ducati. Well done, or just random? discuss.
Science
#16 — a snow crystal. Wow. And there’s the new to me Ornamental Baboon Tarantula. Big pictures of the small world.

Cars 2 coming next summer from Pixar. It’s a spy story? Check out the logo reveal on the official YouTube channel. And there’s a website — of course. I hope it’s worth the hype. Pixar is awfully close to becoming predictable. And that would be sad.
