My mind autocorrected that title to: "These first-person shooter jumps on a pogo stick are making me dizzy."

Woohoo, 13" mid 2009 macbook pro still going strong... looks like it will keep going strong for a while longer.

Great Review Chris,

The only thing that would make this better was if the dog had built the catapult its self.

Yes, my post does have that sentiment... but what I tried to convey, and possible didn't do a great job of, is that I think ideas like this are essential to pushing the boundaries of what we are doing. Someday I could see this being a useful addition to our transportation architecture, but right now I don't think we…

I have spent time in desert, about 10 days backpacking through the superstition mountains in the Tonto national forest, outside of Phoenix. That is technically more mountain desert I suppose, but I agree with you, the desert is beautiful country and I would hate to see it all razed. If it comes down to having an area…

That makes sense, I'll have to pay closer attention next time I'm watching a storm.

Just the fact that a supernova is scalable, in the same sense that waves are, is blowing my mind right now.

Agreed, the way the camera seems to be floating above the cart/track is seriously messing with my perception of what is going on.

There's nothing like sitting on the back porch with a beer in hand and watching a storm front roll towards ya. Especially if there's lightening.

Ok, I think this is officially my new favorite music video ever.

No. Just, no.

Great book! Loved those as a kid!

Wooden axe handles aren't exactly what I would call engineered (I'm an engineer, so I think I'm qualified to make that distinction), that being said, I've made plenty of wooden axe and hatchet handles myself, and it is important to try and select a sturdy piece of wood, preferable in a nice hardwood like maple or oak.…

While I don't think this is as bad of an idea as some others do, I will say that from a logistics and engineering standpoint we have a lot of other areas that we should be trying to cover with photovoltaic's before we turn to road surfaces, if energy production is the main goal here. Rooftops, parking lot awnings,…

I came here to point out that there was no way they could be breaking the Betz limit, glad to see someone else beat me to it, and explained it better than I probably would have.

I feel like you seriously downplayed how great headlamps are in this article. As someone who does a lot of backpacking and biking, I use my headlamp all the time. Most tasks that I end up needing light for also require the use of two hands (going outside to get more firewood in the middle of the night, going to the…

Love deer and the headlights, and this song. To all the people hating on this song, nobody cares that your musical taste is too immature to appreciate quality music.

I'm going to have to heartily disagree with you there. I own a Katadyn Hiker Pro, and have used it for the past 3 years. It was the first filter I bought, and it does work great... for a while. I have used it everywhere from mountain streams in the NH Whites to scum filled pools in Arizona. It usually filters great…
