Not sure I missed bookmarking this when it came out.
I give a lecture to MBAs that is largely focused on CHDK. I've been doing it for three or four years. Nice to see that the NYT found out about it this last year.
I'm really bothered by these K-Cups, which apparently are more than 6% of the coffee market worldwide. :-(

"In popular mythology, the impressive performances of America’s blacks, especially Owens, so infuriated Hitler that he refused to shake Owens’s hand after his victory in the 100-meter dash.
