A buddy of mine just sent out a notication that he preordered a Coin.  What is Coin? It’s just about the coolest thing that I’ve seen this week!

Coin is a credit card sized electronic card, which can act as one of 8 credit cards which you store within it.  You select which card you want to use, swipe the card, and PRESTO!

For my readers and listeners, a sad time has come.  The autonomous robotic boat named Scout has gone dark, and this time, it looks like it is final.  She last transmitted more than 24 hours ago, after some rather interesting couple of days where she tracked against current and wind, and at last looked like she was picking up a route.

According to Scout teammate Tom Schindler,  “[The] best case scenario someone picked her up [otherwise] the backup tracker could be waterlogged or otherwise disconnected from the hull, or she sank.”

It looks like at this point, unless she has been picked up, we may never learn of her fate unless she happens to make landfall at some point.
