Your fine. You can't have enough Hinkley jokes. Especially during the holiday season. It's a fine tradition; sit around the fire, snuggle up close, and tell stories of attempted presidential assassinations. I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch with one friend from high school. Back in the early eightie...

I love these guys, it's such an inspiring story. We're driving RC cars* on another planet, how cool is that! And they've lasted way, way past their original mission length. And they do it with a <a href="http://www.thebudgetgraph.com/">fraction</a> of the national budget. *<i>Yeah, yeah, i...

I'm envious, I talked to Kara at East Durham in 2006 about getting a C body for my Pratten but haven't had the spare cash to order one.

Damn you galvanized pipe!

Maybe when my name comes up for a keyed flute I'll slip an order in for a C body too.

Congratulations.

For breakfast I toss oatmeal, low-fat milk and a little ground flax seed into my bowel, nuke it for 2 1/2 minutes I'll bet nuking your bowel is an experience not soon to be forgotten. Try a bowl...I suspect it'll be much less painful. :wink: I find it very refreshing, it removes all the toxins from...

If my wife is doing grocery shopping she'll sometimes pick-up premade Antones sandwichs. They're ok, but if you through them into the toaster oven for a few minutes they become nice and warm and the cheese melts into the rest of the sandwich. Much better than you'd expect. For breakfast I toss oatme...

Looks like he's just using electrolysis to split the water into hydrogen and oxygen and then burning it again.

The problem is, you still the the power to split the H2O molecule in the first place.

You'll have to wait until "The Golden Compass" comes out for your Sam Elliot fix. And I'll get an Eva Green fix.

Turner Classic Movies is showing "Captain Blood" later this month. I'm looking forward to watching it again because I read the book by Rafael Sabatini recently and enjoyed the heck out of it. I've seen the movie a dozen times but I'm curious if having read the book will change my opinion o...

I'm in the midst of Nicholas Meyer's The Seven Percent Solution which I read quite a number of years ago. I'm really enjoying the heck out of it. FYI, you can now get "The West End Horror" and "The Canary Trainer", they were hard to find for a while. I don't think they were as g...

This is great, I can believe I haven't heard of this before.

Through a bit of inelegant hacking I was able to stream it to my <a href="http://www.rokulabs.com/products_soundb ... p">Roku</a> and listen to it through my stereo downstairs.

They're (Treo/Palm) hardware is great, but their software platform is way outdated. They've developed and thrown away I think three new platforms without ever releasing them. Now they're trying to write a new one based on Linux, but that has been pushed out another 18 months last I heard. And Access...

Cool, thanks. I'm a bit cheap so I'll probably wait until my Treo dies an honorable death, but I do like to keep track of whats out there for when I do need to switch.
