Kite Ice Butt Boarding!
I'm glad I saw this video in the spring. It reduces the odds of me breaking my neck on the ice.

Induction Forge
In this interview with Louie Raffloer, there's a video demonstrating his induction forge. My Emag is a little rusty. But as I recall, induction happens when you have current flowing through a coil. The moving electric charges creates a magnetic field in the center. When you then change the current, the established magnetic field resists the change. Apparently this resistance can create quite a bit of heat in the material in the center of the coil. Crazy awesome.
 
Matrix Cat Fight
If you haven't seen the Matrix sequels, this video isn't nearly as funny. But it's just as cute.

Lots of cool stuff. Go check it out.
 
Security: Voting Machines vs. Slot Machines
Is it really too much to ask that our government selection process be at least as secure as our gambling?

This commercial is just cool. I love how the sabertooth revs when it jumps.

Happy VD!

I got an email yesterday from Ann Arbor Civic Theater. The production of "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change" had to be canceled due to staffing problems. The email that went out (the day before Valentine's) bore the subject "I Love You canceled".

I was amused.

In repose
Today's Maddox pic is from Septmber 7th. (I know, I know, I've got some catching up to do.)

I believe that's grandma's arm on which he's slumbering.
 
Look what I found!
Wall mounted fireplace. WTF?
Cool photos from the Toronto CN Tower.
Make a better folded map! - Ooo. I need to start carrying around Maddox pix folded like that.
 
PlanetDave How To: Dangerous Laser Pointer
Make a high powered laser pointer out of a DVD burner! Man, I'd be afraid to have that thing in the house. Not sure I'd trust any of MY friends with it. And it's not just trusting them to not point it at anyone's face. It's trusting them to not point it out a window, or at ANYTHING reflective.

More Nephew Pix!
Today's nephew pic is of Me (Uncle Dave) holding Maddox, and Grandma Maria. (My mom.)



The blue thing is because he just spit up. Man, I was there the whole weekend and I didn't get spitup on my shirt ONCE! I feel kinda gyp'd. Well, we're going again next weekend, he'll have another shot at me then.
