News - Table-top racers are teeny, tiny Radio Controlled (RC) race cars:

Comment - This review is from a Website called The Gadgeteer
(http://www.the-gadgeteer.com/). It has reviews, or links to reviews, of
gadgets like the table-top racers and this Tennis Scorer watch by Dunlop
(http://store.yahoo.com/computergear/duntenorwat.html
).
News - Astronomers think our universe is just one of many:
http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/29/science/space/29COSM.html
Comment - Pretty mind-boggling article. Excerpt: "Some cosmologists now say
the realm we call the observable universe - roughly 14 billion light-years
deep of galaxies and stars - could be only a small patch of a vast bubble or
"pocket" in a much vaster ensemble bred endlessly in a chain of big bangs."
Fun stuff to think about when I'm gazing through my telescope. Along with
the fact that a recent article in Sky and Telescope points out that only
about 15% of the universe is detectable energy and matter. The other 85% is
so-far undetectable and unknown "dark" matter.
