It’s interesting that now that I’m single, a good percentage of my 10 closest friends are also single. The age distribution is a lot wider now too, I expect this trend to continue as I am no longer meeting friends almost exclusively in school.

This is one of the greatest inventions I’ve seen in a long time. Using a charge in the saw blade, if it detects capacitance from human flesh it immediately halts and retracts the spinning blade. When pushing wood through at any reasonable speed, it’s supposed to stop before the blade cuts any deeper than 1/16th an inch. Probably does irreparable damage to the saw’s blade, but at least you keep your fingers.

Not that I have any use for a table saw, but if I did, I’d buy this one.

From Keenan Pepper, an undirected graph showing each state’s adjacency to other states; excluding Hawaii and Alaska. Probably useful if you ever want to play Risk on a map of the United States.

I figured I should start now, if I’m to get similarly cool graphs.

It’s no surprise to me that the south calls it “coke”, and the yankees call it “soda”, and those crazy north midwesterners call it “pop” (haha!), but the interesting thing is there’s a large pocket of “soda” in Missouri. I wonder why that is?
