Inhabitat has a great writeup on a new power chord that will show you (in pretty shiny colors) when and how much energy you’re using. A great application that steps into other senses, and great reporting as well.

So, aside from having made myself some stuff from off of knitty, there’s also some great classical patterns floating out there (though check out the vagueries of the pattern instructions!), and also these really funky leg warmers.

This video is pretty darned amazing and makes me think that hula hoops need to be part of a workout plan.

There’s a great piece about knitting and the work that goes into it that Hapto pointed me to, and the message is a great one: take some pride in the value of the hard work that you put into something.

Sometimes I have to laugh at the news headlines. Ratey and I chatted about the ridiculousness of the headlines. I’m sure you’ve seen the headlines:

After 76 years in the club, Pluto is no longer a planet
Astronomers […]

On the question and answer show from August 6th there was a fantastic question […]
