The iSound 16,000 mHa batery pack has 5 USB outlets, light, and I was surprised that I could charge the battery pack and my device at the same time. Great for those 20+ hour flights. It dose have crappy rubber feet, they pop off instantly. Otherwise, I am happy I chose the iSound over the HyperJuice. It also is…

DAN AYKROYD IS TRYING TO TELL US THE TRUTH THROUGH FILM AND INTERVIEWS. Ghost Busters, Caddy Shack 2, The Blues Brothers, his UFO interviews, Sneakers...

On a serious note, I just finished listening to "Tesla : man out of time" by Cheney Margaret . There were no great revelations from that book. The "Wizard" was fun and if I remember correctly was very factual. Both seemed to read at high school or Jr. high level, but that may just be my bias.

What is the best Nikola Tesla Biography?

I already pay for data. Why should a company charge me extra for the privilege of using the bandwidth that I already pay for? Why should they care what I use my data for?

I have minimized my wallet to just 3 cards and the Speck CandyShell Card case for my iPhone.

That picture from Jurassic Park is rather appropriate as Dr. John R. Horner was a technical advisor for the Jurassic Park movies and was partially the basis for Dr. Alan Grant in the movie. He's a nice guy, wears the hat, carries an iPad, is super into technology and is dyslexic.

I bought an iPad (original 3g, 64GB) and it has replaced 90-99% of my daily computer use. At the time, it was the least expensive way for me to have a computer with 3g that also had no moving parts. I was frustrated at first, but as the apps improve, it gets easier to work with. The restrictions were stifling at…

Free Brothers grapefruit bitters to taste in good tonic water (not too sweet), with gin and ice. I was shooting for the perfect bitter drink, and after some trial and error, that simple recipie has not faild me for the past decade.

Squid- Giant and Colossal, I know they are in the waters near my little surf town. I don't worry about them. What I worry about are the increasing numbers of Humboldt squid coming up the coast. In South and Central America that's the squid fishermen talk about taking people in the dead of night, Humboldt squid. …

The ≅1 500 mile range is a huge selling point, perhaps it's biggest. This would mean an unprecedented launch window. It could hypothetically extend a launch window for hours, instead what of what it can currently be, 10 minutes on particular days. It could launch at any latitude, and now launch from international…

Grandmother in Bradbury's the Electric Grandmother, adapted for Twilight Zone and Wonderworks (1980s).

Stupid on their part, as they make clear lenses that block all UV not just the amounts the FDA certifies needing to be blocked. This would have been one of Oakley's selling points and I could see myself picking up a pair because I need new sunglasses and haveing a pair that I could also use in the movies would be a…

I thought Mega Force was ultra top super secret.

Bet the Otterbox Defender could take the same. I like the Otterbox case I have. It's been durable and useful with the integrated stand. I broke the cover/stand in a drop, but the iPad was Ok and Otterbox replaced the unit with in a few days. The case fits better with out thin clear screen protector, and it adds a lot…

I hate it when an articles use the term "Scientists", as though all or most scientists agree with the proposed idea. The great thing about science is that it is fallible, but self correcting. I love how just one person can radically change what is considered to be true.
