Continuing the Easter Egg celebration from my previous post,
This one comes from Google Maps. Add a playable Pac-Man to street view.
. If no pin is visible, in the bottom left, click PAC-MAN.
Your map will change to a game board, and you can start playing.
Cheers!

This week I had an opportunity to ride in a Tesla. The driver commented on how it was the first car to make him feel like an 18 year old behind the wheel. Here's another example of how Tesla is bringing the fun.
Spring is (finally) here and in tribute to the season I present an early Easter egg, courtesy of Tesla.

In an early post I waxed poetically (and enviably) about the new Activité watch; the fitness-activity tracker that looks like a real (i.e., pricey, analog) watch. With its French design, Swiss craftsmanship and $450 price tag, it quickly went to my WANT IT / CAN’T HAVE IT list. Now Withings, the company that produced the original, has created a mass consumer version, named Activité Pop.

Any idea how much sugar is in that juice drink?

Worried you’re not sufficiently hydrating during the day?
Any idea how much sugar is in that juice drink?
The Vessyl drinking cup (now accepting pre-orders) can detect and log your fluid intake. How smart is it? In addition to H2O this chalice can apparently identify various beverages by name (e.g., Crush soda, Vitamin Water, Tropicana O.J.) and even varieties of Gatorade flavors. The on-cup display shows beverage amount and components (i.e., sugar, caffeine, etc.) and the data is sent to your activity tracking device.
Although I am not sold on the need for this level of monitoring I do appreciate the science behind it. Among the wave of activity trackers flooding our internet shelves this will certainly appeal to some.

Great write up on how Pacer, with arguments for and against removing the pay per use fee. Did you know that the DOJ is the biggest user of the PACER, and that DOJ is publically funded that comes out of the taxpayers backpocket?
