2035 is a better target than 2040 but it really couldn't come soon enough. Car manufacturers have had over 100 years to clean up their act and yet full-combustion engines still make up the majority of sales. Hybrid technology should be the bare minimum in every car sold today.

I've linked to James McCarthy's images of the Moon once before, when he put together a 100-megapixel image of a lunar eclipse. To stitch 100,000 photos together takes some doing but to get the detail he has from Earth is just amazing.

The DK logo adorned a large number of books from my youth, I even have books targeted at teens and adults so I've seen the old logo many times over the past 30 or so years. The evolution is really nice use in digital places but actually translates quite nicely to the physical world too.

I came across this change 5 days ago, but it took me a while to decide if I like it or not.
