Usually when you here the words “model plane”, you think about small plastic models hanging from ceiling in little Jimmies room – or perhaps someone older at the controls out in a field with a the wine of a plane buzzing around the tree tops… You definitely do not think about a B52 bomber so large that you are tempted to strap a saddle to it and ride off into the sunset. The crazy part? It actually flys! With the help of mini jet engines – man you gotta love technology.

Happy Memorial Day
Let’s take a moment and reflect on all the men and women that have sacraficed for this country…
…now go out and enjoy all that they fought to protect.
Ipaq Keyboard Deal
Amazon has the fold out keyboard for the Ipaq for $20. This is quite a deal since this same keyboard usually goes for $80-100.
RoboSapien
It’s finally almost here: a very cool AND affordable robot pal. Sure Sony and Honda have come out with some very cool robots lately… but since i don’t have $15,000 to RENT ONE, I’ve had to just enjoy the video clips of them. RoboSapien is different. At $100 he is within most people’s budget and he is capable of doing more than robots costing 20x as much. I had seen RoboSapien in some tech demos a while back, but I admit I was skeptical. Skeptical that it would be delivered at as low a price as they claimed and/or before 2010. Thankfully they have proven me wrong. Slated for July 1st and available from Amazon and BestBuy, RoboSapien is here to stay.
Can anyone say B-day list? :D
UPDATE 5-30-04: Apparently the RoboSapien is already available at Best Buy Stores and BestBuy.com – though it is still listed as “not yet released” on Amazon.com
Congrats
Congratulations to my friend Sarah. Her cat has won the coveted “Sitting Pretty Kitty Cuteness Contest”. -Whew- and people wonder why I’m a dog person. ;)
