Great! Now, I'm a salesman, and I'm trying to plan a trip. I need to find the shortest route to visit each city...

Flight search improvements, step 1: Allow time ranges to cross midnight.

I shouldn't have to do 4 searches for "A flight that leaves sometime Friday night or Saturday morning, and returns Sunday night or Monday morning."

Sure. I've yet to find a site that allows me to say, I'm in Amsterdam and want to fly somewhere for 7 days in October for less than 500 Euro, show me some options and a facet navigation to drill down further.

It's my most frequent use case, and I strongly suspect I'm not alone.

More people need to know about kayak.com/explore - it does exactly what you want - here's your exact query:

Have you come across Skyscanner (www.skyscanner.net)? I'm an engineer there, so am a little biased - but this is exactly the type of question we try to solve. Would be interested to hear if you have any feedback/queries!

i.e. http://www.skyscanner.net/flights-from/ams/1011/1011

It's excellent, and I'm going to use it from now on. I was hoping somebody turning up saying "we've solved this" :)

I have been using http://www.bing.com/travel/ (was Farecast before MS acquired it) for a while now and it has easily saved me a couple thousand dollars on airline tickets. Highly recommend it although yapta does look interesting.

getting an nginx bad gateway message :(

Some Yale engineering students created a "spoke-less" bicycle for a class recently. I thought it was pretty cool.

The bicycle has been constantly improved since its invention and will continue to be improved for a long, long time. For example, engineers and scientists are able to create new alloys that are lighter and stronger than previous iterations.

It could have a compartment for beef jerky.

Score! Conversation over.
