1. Analyst Benedict Evans lays out the 73-slide case for the end of the Internet, media, and technology industries as we've known them. "Mobile is eating the world."

2. Steven Levy's 1994 Wired article on digital currency, including a swath of defunct BitCoin wannabes. "The institution with the most to gain is the Internal Revenue Service."
2.12: E-Money (That's What I Want) The killer application for electronic networks isn't video-on-demand. It's going to hit you where it really matters - in your wallet.

3. A Michigan company successfully cloned a 130-year old sequoia that Atlantic contributor John Muir planted in his yard in the 19th century. "David Milarch of the Archangel Ancient Tree Archive, the group cloning the trees, says the clones are living links to Muir's life."

4. A reflection on the Rube Goldbergian engineering of Los Angeles' Owens Valley aqueduct. "The Jawbone Canyon siphon, pictured above in a photograph from the California Historical Society Collection at the USC Libraries, is among the aqueduct's most impressive features. Workers assembled the massive steel pipe (measuring 8,095 feet in length and up to ten feet in diameter) in 36-foot, 25-ton segments, each hauled to the work site by a team of 52 mules. Water falls through the tube, 850 feet to the canyon floor, generating hydraulic pressure that then forces it up and over the opposite ridge without the aid of a pump."
