- ‘After 96 Years, a Press Closes in Brooklyn’
Video from WYNC: "Before Xeroxing and digital images, businesses would take their orders for menus, posters and receipt booklets to a local printer to be set in type and pressed to paper. Henington Press in Park Slope, Brooklyn was just that kind of place. It’s a family business that started in 1912 and is going to close this winter. Before the presses stop, WNYC’s Kathleen Horan dropped by and talked with the press’s owner, David Harris."

- Kisai Denshoku Aluminum LED Watch
I don't even wear a watch anymore—and I typically don't like gimmick watches—but this one is awesome. "Inspired by the neon skylines of Shinjuku." Parallel LCD bars stack up in sequence to tell the time. Add the bars together—hours, 10-minute periods, and single minutes—to get the time.
