I had to make a speech in front a few hundred people and I was not prepared to have that many eyes on me. Palms got sweaty, heart racing and I even paused at one time to swallow, which seemed to last forever. I made it though the 2 minute read, sounding like a robot from 1980. Looking back, it wasn’t nearly bad as…

Took me a minute to figure it out..

The eyeball firework was awesome and I was reminded of this:

Sorry to see you go, but happy for your new adventure. Do they drink as much at PM?

Does this mean that I have to wait 6 to 8 weeks before I can go to work for my new employer? If so, it looks like I’ll be waiting in the government cheese line.

I first read about these Oxy/Gasoline systems about 10 years ago. What I find most impressive about them is what they are doing in this video. To be able to cut through several layers in one pass would be a big time saver. People that have tried it with Oxy/Accetlene can tell you that the puddle can be lost on one of…

I know where SapceX got the idea from..

My cats would get a kick out of the string, if they had hearing protection. IMG: not my cats.

$20,000 should come with a few freebies, since you are going have a tough time cleaning the thing. Maybe they could make a quick-disconnect model that you can throw in the dish washer.

RCA VideoDisc. $600 million down the drain.

Cant wait to show off my $21.59 some-what smart watch! No Ebay returning here.

The day that robots can do this, is the day I win the lottery.

This article explains one of the reasons I chose LiFePO4 batteries for my Ebike. Although LiCoO2 has almost twice the energy density of my battery per pound, it loses the battle when it comes to cycles of use. It can only be charged 1/4 of the times that a LiFePO4 battery can be charged, before having to be replaced.

Woah.. Looks like an eyeball would pop out for all the spinning that thing does.

Me on that flight.

I found a Wiki article that explains gravitational assist. From what I understand, it is possible to gain speed from a larger body in space. Since you cant create energy from nothing, you steal a little bit from the object that you are sling shotting around. Which brings me back to my original question of why we dont…

I used to live on the columbia river, right under the a PDX flight path. I couldn’t watch TV and keep the windows open because of the noise. So I did a google search for a map to share with you and gave up after finding this funny paragraph pulled for an article about PDX:

I can understand that objects cant break a certain speed limit around the earth, otherwise they would be flung into space. But why does there seem to be a speed limit for things flying through our solar system? You never hear of an asteroid whizzing by at 500,000 mph. One would think that if an object could build up…

I miss my commodore. I started with the Vic-20, then C=64 and finally the Commodore 128. I even modded the C=64 with a second SID chip for stereo sound. I think I was 14 when I did that one. And BBS’s were awesome back then because we would have meet’s and show off our setups.
