Can't blame this one on the Brits ... this is a totally USA bit of boy-toy ...

Here's another very good one ... art is wonderful, and the plot (so far, at least) is a nice twist on the Indiana Jones model ...

I absolutely love this. You can get a paper copy if you want. If I had a blank wall big enough, I would get it ... those Swiss, they have such a sense of humor.

The UK 3-pin plug has always impressed me as the clunkiest thing in common usage. The adapter I use to make my MacBook charger UK-compliant is bigger than anything else in the "power adapter" pocket of my backpack ... it's even bigger than the Australia/NZ one. Anyway, Min-Kyu Choi of the Royal College of Art (!) has come up with a remarkably improved version that is both backward compatible (with some clever twisting and folding) and perhaps defining a completely new format that could be adopted. (The distance between one of the live pins and the ground is a bit close, but no worse than we use in the US ... although our line voltage is 110V, not 220V).

This might be the solution for those riders whose significant other is not really into riding, but appreciates a nice set of wheels.

Uhh. They are kidding, right? Yet, I'm sure someone will love it ... as for me, I'm looking forward to getting the Apple Magic Mouse ..

Well, how about that! My old airplane, a Grumman AA-5A Cheetah, N9900U is still around (at least as of 2006) at Reid-Hillview airport in San Jose. It still has the paint job I had done (at Kracon in Lincoln, CA) ... the design was done by Steve White, my ex-brother-in-law, who used to live in South Pasadena. Dang, that was a nice plane! Of all the things I gave up when I became a responsible father, selling that baby was the hardest. Motorcycles, scuba diving, skiing ... no problem, but I miss the flying.
