From [Gizmodo](http://www.gizmodo.com:) “Want to scuba dive but are just too damned lazy to actually swim? Scooba-doo to the rescue! It’s an underwater moped, letting you sit down and enjoy the underwater depths without annoying stuff like swimming, masks, and tanks. Sure, you’ll look like you stepped off the short bus and into the ocean, but fish won’t”

Actually, I think this thing looks really cool… like something you’d see in a James Bond movie. I bet this’ll be huge at vacation spots in the Caribbean!

From [Newsday.com](http://www.newsday.com:) “Michael Brecker, a versatile and highly influential tenor saxophonist who won 11 Grammys over a career that spanned more than three decades, died Saturday at age 57. ”

I can’t believe it.

I’ve been blown away by what Michael was able to play on his saxophone (and EWI) since about 1988. He was definitely an influence for me. The void left in the jazz community with his passing is massive.

You will be missed Michael.
