Fitbit truly does not care about you as a customer once you’ve given them your money. There’s a long list of people who want simply the ability to flip their Charge 2 over to have the button on the other side (which should totally be doable because the screen is a generic rectangle of pixels), but after months of…

That’s nice if you want a durable, long-lasting toy, but if you want an additional culinary delight, try the National Lands Trust’s edible scat collection! It’s not just edible and educational, but it supports conservation too!

Wait, you have Elvis and a Great Dane at the top, and you neglected to include this video? How does Elvis dancing with a guy in a dog suit not count among the top 7?

This movie is all about Dory, a fish with short term memory loss. So the filmmakers wanted to make sure everything was seen through her perspective.

Are there any apps like this that allow you to share a vehicle with family members (or anyone) so that every person who fills up the car can update data without having to send all the information through one person who “owns” the data? This is the reason I continue to track mileage via a notebook that stays with the…

You should update your list to include Ursula Vernon’s (Nebula-winning) Jackalope Wives, which made it in to the Short Fiction category due to a re-classification of Wilson’s “The Devil in America” to the Novella category.

Looks like all you can do is send the endpoints and not a custom route. I don’t see how this is much better than just typing the endpoint into your phone. And you better hope that you don’t want to drive anywhere OTHER than the routes Google offers you.

I totally have to add a vote for thimbleberries! They have a rich, complex sweetness like honey, and a texture like velvet that dissolves on your tongue! And yes, they are very delicate — I once made a pie with a base of cream cheese and a jelly-like layer on top from thimbleberries I collected during a bumper crop in…

Once you master the basics of riding a unicycle, it's not that much of a stretch to bounce and weave your way down an obstacle course. As long as you've got gravity keeping your forward momentum, you just need the right reflexes. (Yes, I did offroad unicycling nearly two decades ago.)

If Scribus were ever to figure out how to handle documents of any significant length (magazines, books), it would be a serious competitor to InDesign and Quark. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be something they're working on.

My first thought when I saw it was this:

Speaking of tricycles and their ability to handle tough winter conditions!

I really hope that this makes it into production, despite the fact that the company/inventor seems to be putting little effort into marketing or even a basic website.

We also got a Sienna specifically for canine considerations. We have Siberian Huskies and enjoy getting off the beaten trail for hiking, skijoring, etc., so we wanted something with AWD. However, we also needed something with a low entry for our old girl who was afraid of ramps and hated being picked up. The Sienna…

"The Trail Boss is designed and built by trail users and trail work volunteers in beautiful Bellingham, Washington, USA, Earth. It was created so we’d have a tool to toss in a small pack and bike the trails for the afternoon, stopping to buff a turn, fill a washout, or reinforce a loose climb along the way. Maybe…

Just in case anyone is still following this thread (and assuming a little shameless self-promotion is allowed), the Digger Omnibus Kickstarter has just 2 days left, and we're trying to get one last round of pledges to complete the author's commentary stretch goals. We're currently half way through the 6 volumes.

I'm glad the rest of the world will get to hear Ursula Vernon's humorous acceptance speech for Digger (which io9 was rather enthusiastic about back in 2010: http://io9.com/5665091/the-peculiar-pragmatic-adventures-of-a-wombat-engineer). It was also lost to the copyright bots, coming after Neil Gaiman's and George R.…
