The eagerly awaited kottke.org holiday gift guide for this year is coming soon (here is last year's in the meantime), but very quickly: if you're in the holiday shopping mood, check out these Cyβ3r M0nd@y deals: the KitchenAid 6-qt. stand mixer for $220 (60% off), the Kindle Paperwhite for $100, the Anova Precision Cooker (for easy at-home sous vide cooking) for $110, the Amazon Echo for $140, and did you know that you can get a Segway for $600 now? Remember when those were going to change how cities were built? Good times.

Bonus: this is what happens when you order any of these items...an Amazon robot scurries to fulfill it.

A glimpse at how self-driving cars really will change how cities are built.
