The coolest product of the year?

… could be the Nike Hindsight, new sunglasses that provide the wearer an extra 25 degrees of peripheral vision. They’re being promoted as cycling gear, but it seems they could have a wide range of applications, including everyday driving. As for myself, these are definitely something that I’d find useful for competitive sailing.

WordPress.com wish list…

While WordPress works wonderfully overall, I just gotta get these gripes off my chest.

I wish that WordPress supported:

• MyBlogLog, or something similar, perhaps using their Gravatar service.
• ShareThis, a widget for sharing blog posts on social media sites.
• Google Reader’s Shared Items
• Atom feed format, not just RSS

The good thing, WordPress seems to have a good “feature velocity”, and as such, hopefully these things will be addressed in a reasonable time.
