I hadn't come across those before - thanks for the recommendation! Amazon do indeed seem to have a good range. I'll have to investigate when the sun finally decides to reappear .

I like that the over-glasses sunglasses tint light coming in from the sides, as well as the front. The pair I got cost about $6, and so far they've lasted really well.

I almost always wear at least a simple visor when driving, even at night. It allows you to block off extraneous bright light or glare coming from overhead. During the day, the visor usually makes the sunglasses unnecessary.

As long as I don't have to fly up to some space station to get a surgically implanted interface and wake up to find a crazy AI trying to kill me.

Shouldn't the subject be Phablets are the phuture? Phooey.

I just read a short article about the American Dialect Society's annual conference held this week in Boston. Apparently, there was a run-off between phablet and YOLO for the 2012 word Least Likely to Succeed . I wish them both a swift and painless demise.

Phablet might make it as a new word in San Francisco --- "oh, this phablet is phabulous!", but hopefully nowhere else.

We'll call them tabloons. Larger models will be doubloons. Doubloons will be waterproof and the screens will be designed to work well with hooks. Of course, all the apps would be pirated...
