Been Awhile…

Kind of hit a stand still on posts here. Not that there isn’t anything to post about. But for awhile I got so busy that posting just stopped. I also stopped giving a damn about the money making posts. Why? I thought about it. There are different levels of posters, some have lower level blogs …

The Amazing Kindle from Amazon

Not much in the way of press about this but all of a sudden this kindling has turned into a fire. Amazon has brought E-ink digital paper technology to the backpack and reading chair overnight. The Kindle is sort of like a notebook and sort of like a paperback, but not. It uses Amazon’s Whispernet …

First Review Posted on PocketNow.com

So you want to be a space hero?

Slashdot reports that NewScientist teamed up with Audi and is offering one lucky winner a chance to be the 5th Space tourist. All you have to do is write up to 250 words about what you think is the World’s best patented invention and why. Simple right? Yeah it is that easy. Be prepared though. …

Survival

Most of my friends know I am a survival nut in one way or another. In my cars I always have the least of what I need to survive if I break down somewhere and if I ever drive more than hour out of town I will always bring my ‘GoBag’ (more about that later). …
