Good news. If you’ve ever been frustrated by the check engine light in your car and paid $100+ to get it diagnosed. And probably gotten it diagnosed multiple times because you didn’t get any real info, there’s now a bill in Congress to require car companies to release those codes to the public. See Drivers Want Code to Their Cars for more info.

Typing Game
I was stumbling when I ran into this typing game on Zannah’s blog. Since it reminded me of the typing game I learned how to type with, so I gave it a try. It wasn’t nearly as fun as the one I learned on, but it was fun to remember what it was like. I will say that some people must have played for a very long time to get to those scores!
