Two Unrelated But Cool Stories

We like to keep an eye on what former Penn Stater magazine staff writers are up to these days, and this week brought interesting articles from both Jason Fagone ’01 and Vicki Glembocki ’93, ’02g.

Jason has a story at slate.com about some guys who are trying to engineer a car that gets 100 miles to the gallon. According to Jason’s Twitter feed, he’s working on a book about this subject.

And on a lighter note, Vicki has an occasional blog called “Blunt Force Mama,” and today’s posting—about taking her 2-year-old daughter to see fireworks for the first time—is pretty funny.
