A few decades ago, I remember, probably incorrectly, a court case where the police wanted to (or did) track people using GPS units that they stuck in the suspects’ cars. The case boiled down to this: a court order is needed to place a GPS unit on someone’s…
Continue readingI’ve been watching Severance on TV and I’ve got to say, it is a thought-provoking show. The problem is that it’s about 20% interesting and thought provoking, and about 80% artistic mystery. It’s just slow and it takes 43 minutes to convey about 10 minutes of story in…

Continue readingI was just looking at http://www.snappyxo.com and their site mentioned that they had the first planar linkage design software. I sent a contact form letting them know of their mistake and I got a really nice reply from the CEO that he knows they are not the first…
Continue readingI had a fairly terrible idea to convert two $80.00 RC helicopters into a single CH-47 Chinook. The Chinook has two rotors, one forward and one aft (very different from the V-22 Osprey that has rotors on the tips of the wings). It’s a terrible idea because of…
