I am taken back more than just a step by this. I am absolutely
amazed by the incredible talent of this dude and his amazing
works of art. I’ve seen some small sculptures before and blogged
them here but this has to be it. Man can not create sculptures
smaller than this. My favorite is Charlie Chaplain dancing on the
tip of an eye lash. See for your self.
Thanks Ken, just remarkable.

One of the coolest videos I’ve seen in a while. I am amazed at just
how big the International Space Station is now. Soon the United
States space shuttles will no longer dock with this enormous
station because they are going to be retired leaving the task of
shuttling personnel up there to the Russians. Enjoy the tour of
the ISS. Let me know what you think.

kidnapper or criminal mastermind. Imagine the Possibilities.

Ever heard of an ElliptiGo? I hadn’t until yesterday. It looks like a
workout and a half but pretty ingenious. It is simply an elliptical
workout machine taken to it’s next logical step, no pun intended.
With eight speeds this puppy moves out nicely. Watch a few of
their videos and let me know what you think.

I will be enjoying three days of LDRS and one day of RoCStock
this year out at Lucern Valley Dry Lake. Temps will be on the
warm side but it’s all about the rockets! If you can make it, do
try to attend for a day or two and camp out with me. You will
be amazed if you have never seen a high power rocketry event
before.
LDRS begins Thursday 6-10 and runs through Tuesday 6-15.
RoCStock runs concurrently on Friday 6-11 through Sunday
6-13. Both events are huge and together it’ll be rocket heaven.
I should be there Thursday through Saturday. Leave a comment
if you think you may attend and I’ll give you info on how to find
me.
By the way, LDRS stands for Large Dangerous Rocket Ships.
UPDATE
Here are four youtube links to some of the rocket launches including
the 4 stage comanche in the above photo. Enjoy
P.S. It was a great day and a half of rockets for me and KD6HDX.

Our 14 year old dog, Abbey, died last month. The day after
she died, my 4 year old daughter Meredith was crying and
talking about how much she missed Abbey..
“Dear God,
Will you please take care of my dog? She died yesterday and
is with you in heaven. I miss her very much. I am happy that
you let me have her as my dog even though she got sick.
I hope you will play with her. She likes to play with balls and
to swim. I am sending a picture of her so when you see her
You will know that she is my dog. I really miss her.
Love,
Meredith”
We put the letter in an envelope with a picture of Abbey and
Meredith and addressed it to God/Heaven. We put our return
address on it. Then Meredith pasted several stamps on the
front of the envelope because she said it would take lots of
stamps to get the letter all the way to heaven.
That afternoon she dropped it into the letter box at the post
office. A few days later, she asked if God had gotten the l
etter yet. I told her that I thought He had.
Yesterday, there was a package wrapped in gold paper on our
front porch addressed, ‘To Meredith’ in an unfamiliar hand.
Meredith opened it. Inside was a book by Mr. Rogers called,
‘When a Pet Dies..’ Taped to the inside front cover was the
letter we had written to God in its opened envelope. On the
opposite page was the picture of Abbey & Meredith and this
note:
“Dear Meredith,
Abbey arrived safely in heaven.
Having the picture was a big help. I recognized Abbey right
away.
Abbey isn’t sick anymore. Her spirit is here with me just like it
stays in your heart. Abbey loved being your dog.. Since we
don’t need our bodies in heaven, I don’t have any pockets to
keep your picture in, so I am sending it back to you in this little
book for you to keep and have something to remember Abbey
by…
Thank you for the beautiful letter and thank your mother for
helping you write it and sending it to me. What a wonderful
mother you have. I picked her especially for you.. I send my
blessings every day and remember that I love you very much.
By the way, I’m easy to find, I am wherever there is love.
Love,
God”
Thanks Angie,

Airspace Rebooted from ItoWorld on Vimeo.
In the wake of a massive volcanic eruption, drifting smoke
and ash caused airline traffic to slow to a complete stop
over Europe recently. You can see the missing airline traffic
begin to slowly pick back up over Europe in this interesting
timelaps video of radar tracking over the EU. Enjoy.

Take a look at a site that shows you a future that never was,

Well, apparently someone invented a bladeless fan. It looks
interesting but the $299.00 to $329.00 price range for a 10”
and a 12” fan just scares me right over to a conventional fan
for $29.99. Give it time however, you know within 12 months
the Chinese will duplicate it and it’ll be in a Walmart near you
for $50.00 or so.
Let Sir Dyson explain this thing to you below on YouTube.
The last time I checked, impellers had blades.

Very neat video of a camera stealing octopus and the
mad dash to get it back. They say that octopus are
rather smart. I guess this guy thought he had a shot
at being a director.

MikroKopter – HexaKopter from Holger Buss on Vimeo.
For the longest time I thought the Draganfly was the coolest
thing but now it’s got to be the Hexakopter. Take a look at this.
