There's plenty else happening on Wired today.
- On Gadget Lab, Rob Beschizza discusses the departure of the head of Microsoft's Zune division. Maybe he objected to the Zune phone.
- Eliza Gauger at Table of Malcontents watches a – video for The Cure's "Catch," realizing that she, the heroine of the song, and Tennessee Fainting Goats have something in common. (As for myself, I have always been a huge Fall fan.)
- Meanwhile back at the Wired News ranch, the latest is that micturating on your foot after stepping on a sea urchin may no longer be the weirdest ocean-related medical practice. It turns out that bandages made from the exoskeletons of Icelandic shrimp are so good at stopping extreme bleeding that the army has purchased 400,000 bandages from the company that makes them. Still, that's nothing compared to my plans for a horseshoe crab farm (the blue – literally – blood of the horseshoe crab sells for about $15,000 a quart due to its extreme anti-clotting capability).
