For the man who has everything. It's been sold out for some time now. At $495.00 it seems to be a real bargain. Source Page 1 Source Page 2 |

This is a very cool clock display program for your PC. Go to Scott's SB-Software web site to download. 
Also, from the Klingon Imperial Diplomatic Corps (http://www.klingon.org) comes Klingon Clock 2.0 Be the first Trekker in your solar system with your own Klingon-language talking clock... proclaimed throughout the known universe as "the toughest clock in the galaxy!" This 16-bit application runs under MS Windows (3x, 9x, ME, NT, 2000 or higher) and requires a sound card. The clock shows local time in Klingon - both converting to Klingon digits, and reading the time. If this was English speaking instead of Klingon it would say something like, "Four AM and thirty three minuites."

For the unfamiliar, Big Mouth Billy Bass is an animatronic toy in the form of a mounted fish. When stimulated by a button press or proximity of a human, the fish comes to life, singing and wiggling to one of two preprogrammed tunes.
The secret of Billy’s success is his behavior—certainly not his appearance nor singing ability! The essence or personality of the toy resides in a small CMOS chip, no larger than a fingernail. By replacing that preprogrammed chip with a Linux-based computer or a fully programmable embedded controller, perhaps we can create a Billy whose novelty never wears. Click Here for a cool video of Billy Bass does Bill Clinton. Click Here to go to the web site.

 My friend, Paul Cianciolo, created this masterpiece. This is the "PILE." Portable Induction Launching Equipment. To date, the best time of flight of the golf ball is 9.5 seconds. Greater range testing is pending access to a larger firing range. The link to the full article is here. Paul also operates Rescue Electronics Surplus. Check out his site for hard to find parts! |

 When my daughter was little, she tried to stick a penny into a wall outlet. Whoever said a penny doesn't go far should have seen her shoot across that floor. I told her she was grounded. |
