World
- The British government has finally apologized to ace code-breaker Alan Turing for persecuting him because he was gay. Too bad it’s about 55 years too late.
Science & Tech
- Sea levels rose an unexpected two feet on the US East Coast this summer. Uh oh. Better book that trip to New York while you still can.
- That’s one old piece of string.
Pop Culture
- My beloved Steelers earned a hard-fought OT win against Tennessee in the NFL season opener.
- Fox is making a space western. No, not Firefly.
- A new trailer is live for the Bruce Willis “who’s killing the robot puppets?” film, Surrogates.
Just so you know the old string links to the sea levels story. Nice to have the site back to pass the time at work.
