Maurice Sendak's two-part interview on The Colbert Report is simply supurb -- it's well worth finding some way to view them both if you haven't seen them yet.

Finally a good use of our fashion designers! Think of the savings at the dry cleaners, no more blouses here, it's all pants from now on, at $0.99 each! Haha! Think of what we can do with all that saved money! And the time savings! No more putting your arms through holes or picking out a "matching shirt". You might as well have Polio if you're going to be that old fashioned. With all our newfound free time we can do something awesome with all that extra drycleaning money.

I think we're going to be all right.

DLP displays in TVs have some seriously irritating flicker that clearly shows the three colors when one's eyes flit about -- mounting one in a car where they eyes do nothing but flit about is probably less enjoyable than a static image indicates.

But lasers might let them bounce around the content enough so that one could focus on it and other cars simultaneously, which would be keen.

Those interested in PacRim Jim's comment may find the following section on Wikipedia also interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenType#SING_gaiji_solution

The gaiji characters sometimes mean standard fonts cannot accurately write someone's or some place's names.

People fall way further than 134 feet in freefall when skydiving; air is significantly less dense than water, thousands of feet change in seconds is no big deal when done in the atmosphere. Tens of thousands and then you've got problems, most specifically insufficient oxygen with near-zero air pressure and frostbite from cold.
