What about an iCal feed option? Maybe turned on with a query option?

What a great idea. First thing that pops into my mind would be trying to measure something like gravity waves. Do you have any other examples?

Great article for those that are anti-vaccination.

I have had several manual transmission cars that had cruise control. My Fit Sport has it and it works great.

I drive a stick (2007 Fit) and always have. When I drive automatics I find it boring and I am easily distracted. Besides, sticks are just fun. You have way more control and even small car like a Fit feels like a "sports car" with a stick!

Phone wallpaper is a great idea.

For myself, I have to intentionally make sure that I go beyond just thinking "I respect this person's perspective" and ensure that I do something so they KNOW that I respect their viewpoint even when I am passionate about my own. It is amazing what a great work (and other) environment like that creates, even with co-workers whose viewpoints are so different from my own.
