    This is an oldie but still funny - If Operating Systems Were Airlines MS-DOS Airlines Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again, then they push again jump on again, and so on. Windows Air The terminal is pretty...

    Flashing Third Brake Light

    I see an upside and a downside to flashing brake lights, The upside is that while it's annoying, it is attention getting and that's the whole point of noticing that the driver in front of you has hit the brakes. The downside - let's say that everyone has them now, and you're driving on the...

    Automatic gate openers - who has them?

    A double gate system will require trenching or boring under the driveway to get power to the actuator on the far side.

    The new ipad wtf?

    That is impressive. Android is starting to lock down their hardware though. It used to be that you could install tools that could have direct access to the hardware (like wi-fi utilities or call recorders) but no more. Android, like Apple, will only allow you proxy access to their hardware...

    I knew it! It's the Tupperware vortex. It's the same place where my missing socks wind up.

    18650 sodium-ion battery

    Found an article this morning about a recent improvement in the cathode material by using a Prussian Blue substance. They're going to begin sampling this product next year with the initial market being energy storage rather than small batteries. Oddly the manufacturer's page calls the cathode...

    Vehicle explosion on Rainbow bridge, at Canadian - US border

    A Bentley 2022 Flying Spur that can do 0-60 in 4 seconds. According to this article from a British tabloid, Bentley had a recall of earlier models that were made for ight-side driving where the accelerator pedal has a clearance issue with some of the trim around the fuse box that caused the...

    That possibility has crossed my mind also, especially if he lost big at the casino.

    18650 sodium-ion battery

    Wow, this takes me back. We had an egg-beater driver in the family a long time ago. I'd completely forgotten about it until I saw this picture. Anyway, I'm interested in this battery chemistry also. I would happily trade off a little bit of runtime for the increased safety. So if these...

    Vehicle explosion on Rainbow bridge, at Canadian - US border

    The local Niagara Falls mayor has speculated that this might have been a case of unintended acceleration caused by a mechanical failure. I'm still betting on a medical issue as the most likely. They had just left a casino though, so it's also possible that he was driving impaired. I'm sure...

    LED bulbs with selectable color temp

    I have a G-E bulb with adjustable color temp - only three levels though, and it requires an app to change the setting. It's kind of annoying.

    Anyone still use their Sam's Club HID?

    I still have mine but either the battery or charging circuit have long since gone kaput. It was quite the lumen beast when it was working.

    Yeah, possibly a medical issue. Or unintended acceleration.

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    That solder is probably lead with an acid-core flux.

    What The Hell Is That?!

    Must be some sort of torch igniter.

    Vehicle explosion on Rainbow bridge, at Canadian - US border

    Yeah, that was like something out of Dukes of Hazzard. How surreal that must have been to witness it at the scene.
