Saw this link on Slashdot, Air Force testing new transparent armor, and thought of a novel application for it. Homes. Windows are the least protective part of your house. You can easily break one by throwing a small rock, or as my dog, Java, has recently proven by repeatedly butting your head into it. I […]

iPod Lust

Yesterday, while out running errands, I found a great price on a 20gb iPod at Costco. I really, really wanted to buy it. It would have been an irresponsible purchase, mainly because I could use that money for other things (like food). But for $239, it is only $10 more than a refurbished 20gb iPod […]

well, because I’ve been travelling for work.
For those of you that might not know, I work for a smallish electrical and communications company. For the last 5 or 6 weeks, I’ve been working on a project that involves a major grocery store chain, an advertising company and us. I (the communications tech) and my partner […]
