Microsoft Jetpack Simulator
This makes me want to run out and get Microsoft Flight Sim! The ‘flying bedstead’ sim looks like a winner too.
Ruins in Japan
I didn’t manage to post this last night, this site has some beautiful pictorials of abandoned buildings and ruins in Japan. I don’t know why, but these places have such a strange quality to them that just makes me want to go there and find some of my own.
BTW, I’d swear that there is a school in Yokohama near Isogo station that looks like the Kawasaki city barracks residences. I guess the school is still used but it looks like a run down slum. Are all elementary schools in Japan like this?

Rolling Camera Eyeballs Danger
Oooo, now these look cool.
The camera has a three-hour battery life, can rotate at four revolutions a minute and capture 55-degree horizontal and 41-degree vertical views. The camera is built into the top half of the device and can be rotated, while the base of the Eye Ball remains static once it has landed. If the Eye Ball lands upside down, officers can flip the video feed. Using a video-out port in the remote control, video and audio can be saved to tape or DVD for use as evidence.

Liftoff
Here are a couple of DVDs that are loaded with all sorts if vintage rocket launch/abort footage, some with audio commentary. I’m thinking that this would make a nifty birthday gift for anyone that likes the historic side of space exploration. Better yet, buy one and donate it to your local library!
“Thor – The IRBM” – Air Force documentary detailing the development of the Thor IRBM. Excellent transfer, containing good overview of the Thor program. Includes successes – and some failures.
“SAC” – Air Force documentary documenting the Strategic Air Command missile force. Excellent quality transfer. Very interesting historical footage.
“Vandenberg” – Air Force documentary on the activiation of the Vandenberg base as a primary missile center. Again, an excellent transfer.

Very cool, nice little bit on Lomo cameras, fixing lava lamps, theremin, and even Nixie tube clocks!
