I need a grow light at my desk… one of these plant sets is needed at my office desk. I wonder how much trouble I’d get in if I named flys after particularly annoying users and then fed said flys to the plants…

Solar Grill
It would be cool if the city parks here in Phoenix had these at a few of the BBQ pits. I’d use them, there is loads of sun here so it shold make short work of anything you chuck on the spit.

Itty Bitty Flying Machine
This looks like a very cool toy. Not only can you fly it in doors, you can attache a little video transmitter so you get a cool, if not stomach turning, point of view from your little aircraft!
The Draganflyer V Ti R/C Helicopter is small and agile at just 30 inches in diameter. This compact flying-masterpiece lifts off effortlessly with its ultra-lightweight carbon-fiber body and stylish lines. Unlike gas-powered or other electric radio-controlled helicopters that are complicated and difficult to fly, ours has been designed for beginners. Our RC helicopter uses a heading-lock yaw gyro which helps simplify flight in all conditions. The Draganflyer V Ti gives you complete control over yaw, pitch, and roll – full aerial maneuverability – using a patented control board that is so elegant it uses 95% fewer parts than conventional helicopters. The Draganflyer V Ti comes as a complete package requiring a simple, quick, and straightforward assembly of only 30 minutes.

Catfish For Dinner Again?
Yow! That is one huge fish! I used to have a catfish in my aquarium and it grew pretty large, I can see how this sucker could just grow and grow if there was nothing to stop it. It topped out at seven inches long, not anywhere near the six plus feet the Thai fish was. The artical also says that the Mekong River Basin is home to more species of massive fish than any river on Earth, can a National Geographic special be very far off? I hope not, I want to see a special on monster fish!
I wonder if they could deep fry a fish of that size, it’s a popular way to cook fish over there. Quite good if you don’t mind a lot of bones.

Walk Now…
Ha! I was right! For years I have suspected that there were secret codes you could enter to make the cross walk lights change.
Arizona Wildfires
Pretty cool, depending on the time of day you can see a nice time laps of the fires in Arizona.
This is from the GOES-12 satellite in the visible spectrum, so it will be dark about half the time. Arizona is -7GMT so if you catch it in the morning and evening it should be pretty cool.
