In Chicago, 3-D Printers Are Available To Anyone With A Library Card

singularitarian:

3-D printing may be the way of the future, but for the average Joe, actually getting ahold of a 3-D printer to use on the cheap remains somewhat challenging.

Look into my eyes

There are many ways to be bad at eye contact. The WSJ reports that the ideal gaze lasts 7 to 10 seconds. Is that creepy in practice?

Feedly will support third party RSS readers

Well, I guess I’m not giving up RSS:

We are also hearing from users that saving their feeds is not enough: One of the key features of Google Reader was that they had an ecosystem of apps — apps that people love and depend upon.

We have been working behind the curtains with the developers of Reeder, Press, Nextgen Reader, Newsify and gReader as design partners for our Normandy project[1]. Today we are excited to announce that you will be able to access your feedly from all these apps before Google Reader retires and that the access to feedly API will be free.

I’m very glad to see Reeder’s developer is planning to support the Feedly API.
