A run around the Internet

I’ve been perusing the internet today, while waiting on RM stuff to get done and I’ve found some pretty neat things. In no particular order:

Woven Steel Wallet!
I think the idea is neat and it supposedly blocks RFID from being read. But at 75 bucks, I think it’s a bit pricey.

The United States of Inequality
To be honest, I didn’t read the entire article, mainly because it’s quite long, but from what I read I thought it was an interesting take on the traditional thoughts on what economists call, “The Great Divergence”. Even though everyone seems to be blaming the government for something (legitimate complaints or not) this seems to take data gathered over multiple administrations and comes up with a rather interesting hypothesis.

Tractor Beams are becoming REAL!
It’s the nerd in me that finds this awesome. How awesome would it be to fire a beam at something and it moves toward you!? Granted the technology is nowhere near fruition, but the idea that there’s a possibility of it being a reality is awesome.

Pictures I think are neato. Nuff said.

Detroit is not dead.
I found this rather refreshing. A look at what people are doing in Detroit to rebuild and reclaim, even though the rest of the world seems to think the city is dead.
