flight of the kite over MIT
Photographs of North Boston and MIT campus
taken with a camera suspended from a kite. I
wouldn’t mind trying this some time. The flight
originates from an athletic field on MIT’s campus.
Neat stuff.

What the World Eats
This is a fascinating look at what’s on people’s dinner
tables across the globe.
Let’s face it. Americans eat a lot of hydrodgenated,
preserved, pre-packaged crap.

The spinning chick
Just looking at the image, is the chick’s left leg
facing forward or is her right leg facing to the
rear? Now click the link and tell me which
direction she is spinning. Looking at her shadow
may make you change your mind…
Nice illusion.

CQ Field Day!
I am going camping for about five days. This coming
weekend is the ARRL Field Day. If you are a Ham,
I hope to hear you on the air, if not look around for
a field day site near you and have a look, everyone is
welcome. I’ll be back posting Sunday evening.
Have a great rest of the week and a good weekend.
73!

Be careful what you write online
These days, Google and the rest of the search
engines (eg. Live, Yahoo!, Ask and so on) have
become the central location where everyone
can find information about anyone or anything.

econocrash has begun, they say
It’s official. Mark your calendars. The crash of the
U.S. economy has begun. It was announced the
morning of Wednesday, June 13, 2007, by economic
writers Steven Pearlstein and Robert Samuelson in
the pages of the Washington Post, one of the foremost
house organs of the U.S. monetary elite.
Frightening reading…

Ouch! You just hurt my eyes!
That is someone hitting a read-bump with
your mangled English/spelling/grammar
(not grammer). So you’ve been sent here for
a refresher.

etch a sketch
How about some real etch-a-sketch art.
Faking it is alright for all of us uncoordinated
non-artist types but what about the real thing?
Have a look at the gallery after you read about
George’s beginning.

bear robot
1- Teddy bear face designed to be reassuring
2- Hydraulic upper body carries up to 227kgs (500lbs)
3- When kneeling tracked “legs” travel over rubble.
Switches to wheels on smooth surfaces.
4- Dynamic Balance Behaviour (DBB) technology allows
the robot to stand and carry loads upright on its ankles,
knees or hips for nearly an hour.
The Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot (BEAR) can scoop
up even the heaviest of casualties and transport them over
long distances over rough terrain.
New Scientist magazine reports that the “friendly appearance”
of the robot is designed to put the wounded at ease.

page after page of results, there are a number of ways to
make your searches more efficient. Here are some great
tips and tricks for more efficient google searches.
