WIRED!

Hello!

So, one of our authors is an editor at WIRED Magazine and is having a party tonight at a bar downtown...hosted by WIRED. Because of this, I thought it might be useful for me to peruse their website here and there throughout the day and see what they've been all about lately. Below are some interesting goodies I found along the way:

1. What's inside a cup o' joe?

3. High-Speed video of Locusts may help make better flying robots (wait...do we already have flying robots?! How have I not seen this?!)
