This thing… …is a self-balancing unicycle. It looks like a lot of fun! httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JOgTKigxGs But it’s not $1500 worth of fun. Maybe $300. Not $1500.
Danny Elfmanstravaganza
$500. Only 1000 will be made. Danny Elfman has scored thirteen of Tim Burton’s films over the past 25 years.

Expanded Obituary
Jerky anonymous internet commenters spurred the St. Petersburg Times to investigate and commemorate the quiet life of Neil Alan Smith. Hit-and-run victim was quiet and dependable, co-workers say I wish all obituaries were this long. You can’t sum up a life in a few sentences. Well…I guess you can, but it’s not ideal.
