Rare Cars in Pskov
The International fire truck may be my favorite.

Space Shuttle History
This is an amazing set of photos. These make me sad that my kids aren’t growing up in an era with such an exciting space program.
Of note, I was born the day this photo was taken.

Tap to Focus
I’ve launched a new side project, named Tap to Focus. It’s a tumblelog full of short, hopefully adorable — or at least odd — videos shot with my iPhone 4.
Sadly, Tumblr’s video player is Flash only on the desktop. Sorry about that. See update.

Chernobyl Tours, 25 Years After Accident
Jim Heintz, for the Associated Press:
But Chernobyl is in fact still a dangerous place, as the rules for visitors make clear. Don’t touch any structures or vegetation, don’t sit on the ground or even put your camera tripod there, don’t take any item out of the zone, don’t eat outdoors. Guides make sure the visitors understand that various spots in the zone are more contaminated than others and insist no one wander off the designated paths.
On Detroit’s Decline
These photos over at The Huffington Post look like something out of a zombie movie.
