A Brief History of the Ballpoint Pen and Whether NASA Really Spent Millions Developing a Pressurized Version Instead of Just Using Pencils
The humble ballpoint pen is an item so ubiquitous the chances of you not having one near you right now are so low E.T could probably give you the percentage on his right hand. Few people realize just how much technology, craftsmanship and effort goes into creating a single pen- probably because you can buy 30 of them for a few dollars, only to mysteriously have them all disappear within a week.Wed Dec 3 13:17:32 2014 - permalink -- http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2014/08/origin-ballpoint-pen/

William Gibson: how I wrote Neuromancer
Neuromancer was a commissioned work. I have no idea how many years it might have taken, otherwise, before I produced a novel on spec. Had you asked me at the time of commission, I would have told you 10, but then again, it might never have happened. Careers are odd, that way. (Careers are nothing but odd.)Tue Dec 2 16:42:22 2014 - permalink -- http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/nov/26/william-gibson-neuromancer-book-club

Connecting your paper notebooks with the digital age
I have a notebook problem. I have four different notebooks on my desk. One is a general inbox for brain dumps and another is for meeting notes and work related stuff. There’s also my daily planner and one for field notes that I used during a recent trip.Wed Nov 26 12:39:14 2014 - permalink -- https://medium.com/life-hacks/connecting-your-paper-notebooks-with-the-digital-age-32b77f6bddbf

Bad Translator
Machine translations are useful for getting a general idea about what text written in a foreign language means. However, "general idea" isn't always exactly accurate; the translator literally translates (word for word) the text which often results in grammatically incorrect, if not completely incoherent, text. We've developed Bad Translator to show just how funny things can get. Enter any text in English then click "Translate!" to start. The program translates the text back and forth using FreeTranslation.com, TransPerfect, and Yandex, then displays the final English translation.Tue Nov 11 08:44:06 2014 - permalink -- http://ackuna.com/badtranslator
