Beyond that, I’ll tease with some of the crazy ass stuff I was investigating and researching yesterday. The first thing? How far you can see into the horizon from a given height.

Oh, and there’s a little post-it on my desk: “The North Pole? Pfft. I’ve been there at least twenty times. That’s tourist shit.”

More Friday.
