This is in private beta right now, but it looks like a compelling replacement for the social aspects of GReader, in case you end up not liking what Google rolls out by way of G+ integration. I am going to test it out and will report back as soon as 1) I am in and 2) I've had a chance to really use it.
(As a side note, I realize it probably won't really be better than Google Reader for that set of features that really made Reader shine, but since disruptions like this tend to make people experiment with pretty much anything, it's possible whatever set of features this site has will be good enough.)

And try to keep your mouth closed the whole time. I couldn't; in fact, I think my jaw was dropped the whole time. First, because operating a lathe and getting a good result is actually harder than it looks (if you don't practice, all you get is rounded crap). Second, I vastly enjoy watching master craftsmen work with their hands (and feet). Third, I have an interest in woodworking that dispenses with all of these noisy electric tools (some of which I still have). This is simply elegant.

I would put this in the same category as that anxiety-inducing fishbowl from a couple of weeks ago. In case you can't tell and don't read German, this is an art installation consisting of dandelions, preserved to keep them nice and fluffy looking.
