Among the things I learned this week:
* Sharp invented the mechanical pencil. Sharp’s Wikipedia page identifies a few other cool inventions from the company, including the first camera phone. (Courtesy: Bloomberg)
* Careering means: “Move swiftly and in an uncontrolled way in a specified direction”. (Courtesy: RC)
Fall foliage maps are great. This post is partly a reminder to myself.
