Those old quad videotape machines sometimes took as long as 10 seconds to lock up and make a stable picture.

Inductive charging has always seemed troubling to me. You’re creating heat. It’s a super-inefficient connection between charger and device. You can’t defy the laws of physics. (I may retract this in 10 years.)

Boy, are standard def images tiny: 640×480 pixels of old logoage.

When you have a summer place up between Lake Michigan and Lake Superior, Dan Egan’s remarkable reporting is the perfect thing to borrow from the local library and read. From alewives to zebra mussels to algae to the Chicago Sanitary Canal, this book manages to explore all the issues involving these vital bodies of water.
