If this work from home thing continues any longer, Nissan will have you covered.

The NV350 Caravan Office Pod is a minivan with all of the comforts of your home office built into it. The vehicle is equipped with a slide-out workspace that has a built-in desk, chair and transparent floor. There’s also a coffee machine and a sundeck on the roof for when you need some caffeine and vitamin D and a virus-killing UV light in the glove compartment.

The vehicle is a concept that was created by Nissan for its virtual Tokyo Auto Show.

Yesterday marks the beginning of a slew of palindrome dates, which are dates that can be read the same forward and backward.

For 10 consecutive days, from 1/20/21 to 1/29/21, the dates are mirrored. For example, today is 1-21-21 even if you say it backwards.

Later this year, we’ll have even more palindrome dates — beginning with 12/1/21 and going until 12/9/21.

But in 100 years, we’ll have another date that will be a palindrome date in all formats: 12/12/2121.
