The Cyberiad is a great book for kids too. I must have read it when I was about 8 or 9 and it set me off on a life-long journey through Science Fiction...

I also heartily recommend "Cyberiad", a timeless collection of short stories.

I recommend "A Fire Upon The Deep" and "A Deepness In The Sky" by Vernor Vinge. They're epic, emotional, and gripping, but also have some quite excellent hard science and future culture speculation. Also his book "Rainbows End" for something a little closer to home... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernor_Vinge

Baby steps towards "set phasers on stun". Good.

Trouble is, one still has to encode one's video in 3 formats; h264, ogg/thora, and flv for the fallback.
That ain't progress my friends.

It's actually not useless at all. The human eye reads optimally at about 70 characters per line, more and the eye has to work harder to locate and skip back to the beginning of the next line, less and there aren't enough characters for your brain to successfully pre-scan the line. So, depending on your font size it is very handy to be able to adjust the column width to display approx. 70 chars a line.

Is this just visits directly to twitter.com? or does it reflect visits via twitter's api?
