Many people think of the Tybee Island accident when it comes to never having recovered a nuclear payload. There are more; some are declassified, some are still secret.

My good friend is the grandson of an author who helped research and document the incident for the USAF. He wrote a book called "The Goldsboro Broken Arrow" by Joel Dobson. I had the chance to read it after he told me about it. He detailed about how close he came to a domestic nuclear disaster. I highly recommend…

Any repair where the most up-to-date parts are only available to the dealer. Having worked for one, I discovered that there are some repairs that feature updated parts unavailable to anyone outside of the dealer warranty system.

Nope, it wasn't a lightning storm. ArcAttack was there for a concert and cranked it up to 11.

I was told recently by my doctor to start taking Vitamin D3. She said the dose that would work for me was 5000 IU. I was concerned that I would be taking too much because D3 is not water-soluble like Vitamin C. She said I should be fine and I started taking it. A week later I was not feeling great. I asked my…

All Honda and Acura vehicles have that feature. Those 3 buttons are how to get into the technical menu of the navigation system. The majority of items are there for engineering purposes. I have seen people royally f—k up their navi systems by playing with items in that menu. But most things there are really benign.

I have lived in NJ since Aug 2009 due to military move. I was going through a horrific pain period because my spine was shattered in an accident. The pain management doctor I having been seeing for a year now does not write the scripts. In the more frequent drugs we has to recommend, he has a stamp made up with…

I have been building my own railgun at my home over the last couple of years. Albeit, it is much smaller and less powerful. I had a couple of trial runs with copious amounts of failure before I redesigned the power control circuits. Effective power management has been my Achilles Heel, but my new design is…

Fish Creek in northern West Virginia. From the beginning of the road right by the Ohio River to my friend's house where it meets up with an alternate county road is 12 miles driving. But the straight line distance is about 6 miles. It has about as many twists as the Tail of the Dragon. To drive that road averaging 60…

I found this in my On-Demand lineup yesterday and jumped in. Hands-down the most promising new show I have seen in a while. The show resonates to me personally. A couple of years ago I was in an accident. I had very vivid dreams about what would have happened if my accident had occurred differently. While what…

So Nic Cage is fighting a Wraith from SGA?

Years ago, I was grossly over-medicated by a doctor who loved kickbacks from Big Pharma. One of the meds he gave me was Topamax. It had the nasty side effect of changing the way certain things taste. I was a drinking mostly ginger ale and Sprite less often at the time. But after a while on that medication, both…

Agreed.

That reason works too.

Hated the first movie. But I will go see this for 2 reasons: First, The Rock is driving the Riptide by Howe & Howe Tech. Second, I will just repeat the words of my sister "The addition of The Rock to any franchise just makes it more entertaining."

I do stand corrected. The Arleigh Burke-class completely slipped my mind. The Iowa-class was on my mind.

We have the supercarriers in place, which is part of the whole "intimidation by show of force" thing. But what we really need are a few hard core warships in place. The problem is we have no more warships, per se. We have frigates and cruisers but no destroyers.

With the inroads being made of metamaterials in today's scientific communities, I think the next stealth will be cloaking technology.

I misspoke when a said "curse", in hindsight.

Hold on now. I decided to rewatch "Alien" and "Aliens" this week to brush up in my giddy anticipation of "Prometheus". Burke is an great bad guy. Yes, he is a stereotype of 80's corporate goons (Come to think of it, he is a contemporary corporate goon. They are timeless), but he is Ash from the first movie. Just…
