"Cute, though."

Via Insty, who—one way or another—is going to get me to subscribe to Popular Mechanics this coming year: they are just so good at comparing our future options when it comes to energy, and they tell us which organizations are doing it best—if you want to know who's going to win the "energy race," you need to be reading them.

1 A friend of mine had one of the early CVCCs. Four of us carried it into the gym one day and left it in the center circle. They couldn't figure out how to get it back out. They didn't realize that the center post of the double entrance doors was removable (we did, and had the Allen wrench needed).
