I’ve had the Land Rover for four months and just got around to taking Henry for a ride. More of a photo shoot than a ride, really, but we had a good time. I’ll post some of his excellent photos tomorrow

Mystery Suzuki and old Toyota
Took a little drive in the Land Rover today and that means back roads. Two-lane blacktop. And going slow enough to spot these. Couldn’t tell you the model/year of either. I’ll go back some day during the week and talk to the people working on these. Okay, working on the Toyota Land Cruiser.
Google Docs scroll feature
Google Docs launched in June, 2006 and Google Drive didn’t come along until April of 2012. (I’ve always been a little fuzzy about the Docs and Drive) I’ve found docs going back to 2010 and I put everything in Google Drive. Today stumbled on a feature I hadn’t seen before.
If you put sub-heads in a Google Doc, you can scroll to those headings with the little scroll button in the iOS app. Just pull the little button to the left. Very handy on a long document.
“Intelligent uniforms”
“Over 10 schools in the (China’s) southwestern Guizhou province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have made students wear “intelligent uniforms” from Guanyu Technology in the name of improving attendance and safety. Each uniform has two chips that indicate when a student is entering or exiting school grounds, and automatically sends that data to both parents and teachers. Leave without permission and an automatic voice alarm will make it patently clear you’re a truant. […] Each uniform is linked to a given child’s face, and facial recognition at the school entrance will raise an alert if there’s a mismatch. The chips in the uniforms can survive 500 washing cycles and temperatures upward of 150C (302F), and they’re also useful for purchases.”
