This one’s for Rob. I don’t have the links, but it just occurred to me that I read two stories recently on Gizmodo that are bringing Back to the Future to life, maybe. First: Nike actually patented those light blue shoes Marty wore in the future in Back to the Future 2. Not the autotying, at least that I know of, but how they look.
Second: the Delorean Motor Company is apparently coming back to life. Or at least, somebody’s going to start manufacturing those famous stainless steel cars with their unusual doors.
