HighVoltage

I saw this on the Science channel.
I'd do that job. I wouldn't like it, but I'd do that job.

High Points

Here are the Highest points in the U.S. by State.
I always knew that Mt Whitney is the highest point in the 48 contiguous states, but there are quite a few states that are close 2nd.
The graph really does show how much higher Mt. McKinley is than all of the rest.
I got the info Here.

BuzzBall looks like a lot of fun.

Facts of Life

I haven't checked all of these, but they are pretty compelling.



I always wonder what new technology that I am falling behind on?
I don't have a Facebook account, LinkedIn, nor a MySpace.

Plane of the Month

Air Force One Chill.



I was in Jr High when this Earth Wind & Fire song came in.
I still like that tune.

What was that?

The Whiper-snap-o-meter
Click on the .mp3's
I can't hear the 14KHz, but it drives my young wife crazy.

I like reading this Blog.
Things You Wouldn't Know If We Didn't Blog It.

BigEyeInTheSky

Big Eye In The Sky has some very cool Panoramas.

FreeFall

Cool Website with lots of Skydiving photos
Joejennings.com
I liked the classic Jeep falling out of the Plane with two people jumping out.

Boat of the Month

I really like this more than the 2008 Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V boat.
The Water car looks to be faster on the water, though I am sure that it's not, but you can drive it off the ramp.

WaterSpark

I'd love to take one of this guys classes.

No Place like Home

Cool Post on the planet Earth.

Flight Simulator of the Month

A bigger screen, and that is the Bomb!

Train of the Month

When I was a very young child we took a train ride back to St Louis from Anaheim (Los Angeles)
I was about 7, or 8, but I vividly remember riding in the Dome car.
Here is a site that has some great pictures from those days.
They use the body of a train for shops at Disney's California Adventure Theme park.

Boat of the Month

It's a Vette, no it's a Boat.
Whatever, it's Cool!

What was That? I couldn't hear you!

I don't hate Harley's.
I love Custom Bikes.
American Chopper is one of my favorite shows.
I can't stand the way that so many people put the stupid straight pipes on their Harley's, and then insist on revving them incessantly.
Here is a fantastic post on what is wrong with the Harley mystique.
I can't agree with everything he says, but it is a great article.
I think I'm gonna take the Mini Van down to Cooks Corner and straighten out a few guys this weekend. Wish me luck :-)


Loud Boom box, Loud Bike, Loud Boat, maybe your overcompensating?

P.S. the Harley pictured may well have mufflers in the tailpipe.

Chrome

I downloaded chrome over the weekend.

My first reaction is that I like it. 

It is noticebly faster than Firefox.

Can't figure out history though.

The main reason that I won't be using it is...

No Adblock.

Yeah it kinda looks like Simon.

YahooLogo

Yahoo is following Google's lead in customizing the logo.
Right now they have a back to school logo.
If you click on it, the link goes to their back to school guide, so it is completely self promoting, but I like it anyway.
At the time of this post, Google's logo is standard.

What day of the Week was that?

Ever want to figure out what day of the week a certain day was, or what day of the week a date in the future will be?
Want to do it in your head?
You need the Doomsday Algorithm.
I wish that I could calculate it faster, but I think that I've got it down well enough to figure out for this year, maybe the next couple.
Cool way to impress your friends, or win a buck at the local watering hole.
