Lucy & Time

I went searching for this quote and I found two interesting surprises. The first was that it seems the original version uses “person” to refer to anyone instead of the older style of using the word “man” to refer to anyone. The second surprise was who originally uttered the quote, at least according to BrainyQuote.com

“If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it.”

– Lucille Ball

Now there is this cool “switchbike”, video courtesy of Dag:

The switchbike was shown at the Holland Innovation show, although it’s not currently in production. By flipping a switch on the handle, it converts quickly from a regular city bike into a recumbent bicycle. Ron de Jong, the designer is still looking for a company to take his bike into production. Wow.
