The Visited Countries website plots a map of all the countries you have visited. Mine looks pretty weak…!

This fascinating article on the Guardian website explores the changes wrought by the modern shift in retail prices. It’s something everyone is familar with – not so long ago you were impressed that you could buy a pair of jeans for £12 – now there are rumours of stores selling jeans for just £4. But while prices for food, basic goods and electrical gear have fallen through the floor, the cost of property, services and scarceties such as fuel has soared into the stratosphere. It’s changing our lives and culture forever – and defying attempts to plan for the future. Give this a read – it’s fascinating.

I was sure I’d posted on this before, but I couldn’t find it anywhere and I loved it so much it’s worth a second post. Lockheed Martin and the US Navy are working on a swimming spy plane that launches underwater from the torpedo tube of a submarine, performs it’s mission and is recovered back the sub by a robot drone. Now that’s cool.

Also on Popular Science – Jaguar’s new exploding bonnet uses airbag technology to lift on impact with a pedestrian, giving a soft(er) crumpling surface for the unfortunate person to collide with.

After importing all my posts from my old blogger blog, I was left with some odd layout issues. Turns out blogger had inserted these odd bits of code into the posts:
<div style="clear:both;"></div>
<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;"></div>
I was able to quickly remove them using this plugin:
