Feel Good Friday
An awesome look at an old school internet site that is still thriving. At 20, Techmeme has never been hotter.
+ “At a warehouse in an industrial corridor of downtown Los Angeles, a handful of technicians are hunched over their brightly lit workstations, tinkering with saxophones, violins, and pianos.” This shop fixes student instruments for free. Now, a music legend is chipping in. (The program was featured in the award winning doc: The Last Repair Shop.)
+ California’s first solar-covered canal is now fully online. (This makes so much sense that’s it’s almost unbelievable that it actually happened.)
+ Conductor Jumps Onto Tracks to Save Teen Who Fainted.
+ Wired: Crispr Offers New Hope for Treating Diabetes.
+ NYT Mag (Gift Article): How a Group of Students in the Pacific Islands Reshaped Global Climate Law.
+ Man, 34, has tooth implanted in eye to restore his vision. “Brent Chapman can see again after doctors pulled out one of his teeth, flattened it, drilled a hole in it, placed a lens inside and implanted the tooth in one of his eyes.” (Great news for his vision. Really bad news for his next visit to the dental hygienist.)
