This is a weird site, it’s just found photos. Take a look and try not to be alarmed by the phantasmagoric wallpaper and shirts…
Orb
Have an XP box with all sorts of photos and video on it? Ever want to view said files from someplace other than your home? Don’t want to lug a cart full of hard drives full of all your files and dread the idea of having to always sync your data up with the portable? Give Orb a try.
Orb is an application that will allow you to stream media from your home (or office) system to pretty much anything from pretty much anywhere. The front end is a web app so you don’t have to worry about having the right CPU build if your using a PDA or cell phone. I’m going to give it a try and see how it works. I have a few TV shows that I have saved via my PVR in a not quite DVD quality (2.6GB/hr). I want to see how well I can stream one of these from a Starsucks. 🙂

The Brains That Saved Apollo 13
People tend to forget that sometimes the true heros are the guys with the pocket protectors and slide rules.
A group of engineers was honored Tuesday for concocting a plan using plastic bags, cardboard and duct tape to save Apollo 13’s astronauts after their spacecraft was crippled by an explosion 35 years ago.
The New Q
Britain is advertising for a new chief executive officer of the Government Communications Center — the spy gadget lab boss known to James Bond fans as “Q.”

(Thinking of trying for the job agent Greg?)
Here is a little tribute to the actor who played the famous ‘Q’. He passed away in 1999.

Farnsworth-Hirsch Fusor
I added some photos of a Farnsworth Fusor demo that I attended a number of years ago to my gallery pages.
What is a ‘Fusor’ you ask? Wikipedia says it best:
It was fascinating to see this in action, even if it wasn’t producing neutrons. That was probably for the best, I doubt the glass would have stopped them very well. I was pretty close and I doubt my camera would have provided much shielding either.
