Today I Learned:
1) Obama just signed into law a bill allowing corporations to sell materials found on extraplanetary bodies. In other words, we just legalized space mining.
2) Interplanetary is on sale on Steam for $1! Interplanetary is a delightful game of, well, interplanetary war in which players "[develop] their home planets and [fire] massive artilleries through the unpredictable gravity fields of the planetary system." Great game for a LAN party.
3) ...that tiny little quadcopters also have tiny little batteries, which appear to last about five minutes in the air. Also, Quark Micro Drones are surprisingly sturdy -- today I watched one nosedive into asphalt from three feet in the air, slam into it repeatedly several times, then fly off and fall from about 50 feet onto grass, suffering only a bent propeller, which was easily bent back into place. Also, today I learned never to give up looking for a lost 'copter. You never know where you might find it.
