e-Waste… you’d think we’d have a better way of handling this by now…

November 10, 2008

Check out this “slightly biased” piece on 60-minutes about e-Waste.

You’d think that we’d have come up with a better and more effective solution to this by now… or perhaps we should ask the HP, Dell’s and IBMs of the world to start manufacturing PCs and Servers which are more easily recycled.

This company claims to be part of the solution… http://www.e-stewards.org/

Chosen pic…

November 10, 2008

One of my photos on Flickr was chosen to be included in some guys article on a Night at the Baltimore Aquarium on NowPublic.

whoo-hoo…  (is that how you spell it?)

No big deal, but hey, I can be famous for 5 seconds if I want…  When the kids get older, a night at the aquarium sounds pretty cool actually.

CNN “Hologram”

November 6, 2008

Did you see all the cool 3D graphics that CNN had on election night? They may not have been true holograms, but who cares?!? They were pretty flashy eye-candy. Kudos to the CNN engineers who put those together.

Here’s more and a video clip of the “hologram” effect…

or a look behind the scenes…

My very own airplane??

September 18, 2008

I’ve always wanted to get a pilot’s license.  It’d be a bit tough/impossible to fit it into my schedule now… but maybe someday. Then there’s the whole issue of not having a plane.

There maybe hope on the horizon…

Meet the Icon Aircraft A5.  Light-sport aircraft.  About $139,000 and expected to be available in 2010.  More pictures are available here and include shots of the cockpit and a compact version (wings folded).  WOOT!
