To celebrate the anniversary of Mario, you could turn your arrow in the navigation into Mario Kart.
Shout-out to @starlingbank. Went three weeks to Costa Rica using Starling exclusively, and had 0 problems. Hotels, petrol, tours, restaurants, cornerstores, everything just worked. Bonus: after your vacation, it's easy to see what you spent your money on.
Flippy the burger flipping robot is on a break, already
The company had expected mild interest. But then the story about Flippy went viral, circulated on national news outlets and social media. So many calls started pouring in, the Cali Group, which runs the Caliburger chain, realized it needed to spend more time on training. Not for the robot, but for humans to work with Flippy.
I thought the Jesus Christ lizard (aka. Common basilisk) had gotten its name because the first people who came across it said "Jesus Christ!!" when they saw it. Turns out it got its name because it can actually run on water.
I caught this one perched on a branch, just as it had run some meters across the river in front of us.
David Attenborough says, that for a human to pull off that stunt, you would have to run 100km/h.
The conclusion I take from that is, that Jesus was pretty fast.

Sobering for some: Silicon Valley rents
The tech boom has pushed up property prices in the Bay Area. Single-family home prices in San Jose and San Francisco have risen by 72% and 42%, respectively, in the past decade, compared with an increase of 10% nationally. Because of the high cost of living, a family of four with income of $105,350 or less is now considered “low income” in San Francisco and San Mateo counties, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Damn.

Parque Nacional Los Quetzales
Didn't manage to get a view of the resplendent Quetzal, but we did catch a view of the beautiful Costa Rican cloud forest. We also found a fresh footprint from a Baird's Tapir.
