m&m/Mars should make a cheap USB printer that will let you print your own design and colors on m&m’s. They could give you further discounts on stuff by turning in wrappers or something. The technology is there with current ink-jet printers and mass-produces electronics. I probably should have invented that instead of writing it here.

I finally watched this last night while I was taking apart ball-clock motors to figure out why they weren’t working. The movie seemed to flow back and forth between great and disappointing. You would be watching and realize that you had drifted into something not so good and then you would find yourself back into […]

Honking at people sitting at a red light. There was a lot of impatience out there.
