EU to trial "Road Train" - Science fiction becoming fact!
via earth2tech.com
via news.bbc.co.uk
<excerpt>
Picture this: You hop on Interstate 280 in San Francisco, close in on a line of cars, and then kick back and relax — taking your hands off the wheel and foot off the accelerator — until you get to Sand Hill Road half an hour later and opt to peel off from the group. That’s the experience that researchers in the EU are hoping to create within a decade, using vehicles outfitted with wireless sensors, a navigation system and a transmitter/receiver unit to communicate with the vehicle at the front of the line.
Backed by the European Commission, a research team led by Ricardo UK and dubbed SARTRE (Safe Road Trains for the Environment) has launched a 3-year trial of this “road train” technology, in which a lead driver controls a convoy of up to seven wirelessly-linked vehicles, as part of an effort to slash fuel consumption by up to 20 percent per vehicle, reduce travel times and minimize congestion, the BBC reports.
The amazing shape of things to come in the future excites me every bit! How about you?

Behind the Veil - Enrique Vidal's Photography
This is one of the very few interesting low-light photographs I've come across. Enrique here is shooting at 1/15th of a second at f1.4 and 6400ISO, and yet has produced such a striking image!
Love the grain, the bokeh and still being able to focus at the veil and behind it! Supercool!

Nevis - Nice free typeface for headings
via tenbytwenty.com
Looks like Futura meets News Gothic (hammered) with a twist! I like the slant through the S, but somehow not the lowercase y.
Very cool for headings!

Hunch is taking machine learning to an all new level
About Hunch.com
Look. Decision-making is difficult, and decisions have to be made constantly.
What should I be for Halloween? Do I need a Porsche? Should I dump that loser? Is Phoenix a good place to retire? Whom should I vote for? What toe ring should I buy?
It's a cruel world out there. Coin-flipping, I Ching consultation, closing your eyes and jumping, postponing the inevitable, Rock-Paper-Scissors, and asking your sister are all time-honored means of coming to a decision -- and yet we think there's room for one more: Hunch.
In 10 questions or less, Hunch will offer you a great solution to your problem, concern or dilemma, on hundreds of topics. Hunch's answers are based on the collective knowledge of the entire Hunch community, narrowed down to people like you, or just enough like you that you might be mistaken for each other in a dark room. Hunch is designed so that every time it's used, it learns something new. That means Hunch's hunches are always getting better.

I'm going to get back to my bike soon. Will fix 'em pedals and stuff and hit the road. Was reading up on bikes and training on the web, and found this interesting image.
Very cool!
