Reminds me of the looped glass bridge at the grand canyon.

The Sears Tower opened “The Ledge” to the public today. The Ledge is a 4-foot glass balcony that’s suspended 1,353 above the ground on the 103rd floor. It provides a panoramic view of Chicago, provided the walls aren’t covered in accidents. Fun fact: urine spilled from the 103rd floor can break concrete on the sidewalk below. And…
I’m really looking forward to this game, it might disappoint but the in-game trailers (not this one) make it look great.

As Rocksteady’s Sefton Hill and Paul Dini eagerly explain in the video above, Batman: Arkham Asylum is a game about torturing Batman. Okay, okay, maybe not directly, but by way of Joker setting up a nasty ruse for Gotham’s greatest hero at Arkham Asylum itself. Trapping Mr. Wayne…
Maybe this would be better served in a FW: FW: FW: email thread but I thought this should be kept for internally on my blog…

Everyone knows about the cut-and-paste functionality, but the new iPhone software offers much more than that.
I wonder how much my free plan is going to last?
(via Appmodo: Official AT&T iPhone Tethering to Cost $55 Per Month)
