A few things caught my attention recently.
Amazon think they will have 30 minute deliveries within 5 years, using drones:

Interestingly, in some of the reports I've heard so far it's privacy that's been raised as a primary concern. I would have thought that safety would be a far more significant concern.
Pretty bummed that it looks like comet Ison didn't survive its close encounter with the sun. I now live "in the country" (sort of) and have excellent visibility now for my little telescope. All hope is not lost, but I'm feeling pessimistic:

Not taking sides, although I do have my own opinions, but you'd have to agree that if the Earth does warm up by four degees C, we're all screwed:
