cars of the future. segways meet smart cars. these GM city cars will be able to "communicate" with other cars to prevent traffic hang-ups and wrecks. they're designed for use in very high population areas, such as shanghai. i'm pretty sure we won't see any in america anytime soon.
{i'm pretty sure getting into a wreck in one of these babies with some of our "texas" trucks would mean certain death.}
no more mail on saturdays. the u.s. postal service dropped to five-day delivery cutting out saturday deliveries. this kind of sucks because i generally mail stuff out on saturdays, but i guess it doesn't significantly alter my life in any big way, so i'm already over it. the postal service says this delivery change will save over $3 billion annually. i certainly hope this means that the costs of stamps will stop going up every five minutes. for real, i think it was $0.20 to mail a letter when i was born and now it's $0.44. you can read the full article here.

ben stiller may have lyme disease. after a trip to mozambique and falling in a ditch hurting his knee, actor ben stiller may have lyme disease. just so you know, a mosquito bit me the other day, and i might have malaria. i'm going to the doctor just to be sure. and just in case you think i'm being insensitive (which may or may not be highly probable), lyme disease is an easily treatable inflammatory illness spread through a tick bite which is common on the east coast of the u.s. and also just so you know, this was one of the top stories in houston's online newspapers. we treat famies good around here.
{i'm so glad this story was front page worthy.}
books i'm loving right now:
