Invasion of the Drones: Unmanned Aircraft Take Off in Polar Exploration
Posted in Other by: TimothyT on: 03/01/2010 12:00 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
A multinational, robotic air corps is quietly invading the polar regions of the earth. Some catapult from ships; some launch from running pickup trucks; and some take off the old-fashioned way, from icy airstrips. The aircraft range from remote-controlled propeller planes—of the type found at Toys “R” Us—to sophisticated, high-altitude jets. All are specially outfitted, not with weapons but with scientific instruments.

Boating Industry Group Asks Obama to ‘Clarify’ Negative Boat-Buying Remark
Posted in Other by: TimothyT on: 02/20/2010 08:46 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
President Barack Obama has been called on by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) to clarify a remark he made Feb. 2 that it says linked buying a boat with irresponsible spending. What he said was "You don’t go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage." Frankly, you can replace boat with almost anything so I think we are being a bit oversensitive here. Then again, I doubt anyone is taking money saving advice from Obama.

Seems the subways are so safe that police are still busy hunting down early-morning riders who put their feet up on seats or -- heaven forbid!-- cross their legs. And they're doling out pricey summonses even when trains are nearly empty.

Walter *Fred* Frederick Morrison dies aged 90.

So why do you think I have posted this death of someone who many will not have heard of? well Walter or Fred as he liked to be called was the inventor of the Frisbee, now we all heard of that and loved playing with them in our younger days if not still. I cannot think of anyone that will not have heard of the Frisbee and reading about its history is good as I never knew it was originally named "The Pluto Platter".
A post on Wham-O's site the toy maker who bought the Frisbee rights reads today.....
"As Frisbee discs keep flying though the air, bringing smiles to faces, Fred's spirit lives on. Smooth flights, Fred,"

American Chopper - Series Finale Tonight
Posted in Other by: Timothy Tibbetts on: 02/11/2010 08:42 AM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]
The end has come as Jr. gathers the family together and makes a truly life changing announcement. I noticed they said "the last American Chopper ever" in the teaser although I fail to see why another network would not pick them up. After all reality TV follows a bunch of self professed guidos around New Jersey, I would prefer to watch this. The final episode airs Thursday, February 11 at 9pm/8c. Visit http://tlc.com/americanchopper and watch the teaser video above.
