Wiimote-Controlled Robot Drum Circle Makes Human Hippies Obsolete
This caught my eye on the Popular Science website. Now you got some geek throwing Hippies out of work, like they had too much work as it is.


Meat the iPhone Sausage Stylus
Another good one. In South Korea they are using sausages on the touch screens of their iPhones so they can keep their fingers covered in the cold.

Keweenaw Bay Ice

This picture was taken the middle of Feb. I had been looking forward to going ice fishing next winter, but looking at this picture, I'm beginning to wonder if I should bother getting (or making) a tent and stuff for ice fishing.

The problem is it hasn't been cold enough to form a lot of ice. For that you need sub-zero weather and most of the time the lows have only been in the teens.

Altho with milder winters the heating bills will be less and will use less firewood.
