Lum-Tec M14 Chronograph

My new Lum-Tec M14 Chronograph is here. It has been on order since April. This watch is pretty amazing. Mine is number 42 of 100. They are all hand built. I like this even better than my Lum-Tec Bull45 A1.

What an amazing watch. Thanks Chris!

Nexus One On The Way?

New Life For Old iMac Case

What a great use of an old iMac DV case. Klaus Diebelput placed a Mac mini, JBL Spot subwoofer and WMF1 coffeemaker maker into an old, unused iMac.

People do all kinds of case mods to these old iMac cases. Just more genius at work.

Star Wars Christmas

Nothing says Christmas like a Star Wars Lego special!

World's Best CEO

Today the Harvard Business Review named Steve Jobs the best performing CEO in the world.

Per HBR, the key to his success - 'Long Term Thinking.'

NASA Orders Nikon D3S

NASA just placed an order for eleven Nikon D3S digital SLR cameras and seven AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED lenses to be used for photographic documentation. I am trying to figure out this equation. It seems to me to be the package of hot dogs / package of hot dog buns dilemma.

That should hold them over for a little while :-)

My Hero

This guy is my hero! He takes his iMac to Panera to use the free Internet connection.

According to Gizmodo, he does this on a regular basis. This guy is my hero!

Predator Drone Hacked

What genius thought that an unencrypted signal a Predator Drone was a good idea?

Iraqi insurgents are able to intercept live video feeds from the Predator drones using a $26 Windows application called SkyGrabber. It allows them to track the pilotless aircraft undetected.

Unbelievable!

Camera Lens Mug

This is the best coffee mug ever. If this ever came to market I would certainly buy one!

Unbelievable

This is an amazing story. A skydiving instructor dropped a Canon XT 3000 feet and it still worked.

Canon should use this in their ads.

Makes Me Want To Cry

This makes me want to cry. This is security at the Jerusalem airport. If you don't answer their questions properly, they will fill your Macbook full of bullets. What is really amazing is that the hard drive still worked after this.

27 Inch iMac Delays

This is not good news with the holiday season upon us. Apple has delayed shipments of their new 27" iMac due to problems. The latest is a flickering display which has been attributed to a graphics card issue. A number of these iMacs have arrived with a cracked screen.

In the end, Apple will make this right. It just might take a little while.

New Google Phone

This may be the most exciting technology news in months. Google will be releasing their own native Android device in January. It will be called the "Nexus One." If you are a geek, then you know where the name came from and that it is one of the coolest names for a device ever.

The above photo came from a tweet by Cory O'Brien, an account manager at a San Francisco Bay Area marketing agency. His firm does not represent Google. It seems that the phone has been spotted by several reliable source on the Google campus this month.

I can't wait to pick up one of these!

Google Chrome For Mac

Google Chrome for Mac has been released. How cool!

The WSJ today detailed an Indian surgeon named Devi Shetty that has revolutionized heart surgery through economies of scale. He plans to open a 2000 room Cardiac facility in Grand Cayman.

He will hire only the world's top surgeons. Here is the amazing part, with Shetty's setup, an open heart surgery costs $2,000 instead of the $20,000 or $40,000 it might in the United States.

Convert AC to USB

This is ingenious. Here are instructions for changing AC plugs into USB chargers. Every geek needs a set of these.

One Of Those Days

Some days feel like this don't they!

World's Best Invention?

Could this possibly be the world's best invention. It is an Internet-based cat food dispenser built out of an old Cisco switch.

Mathew Newton can ensure that his invention is working properly by using his kitchen-based web cam.

This guy could give Wile E. Coyote a run for his money :-)

Microsoft Does It Again!

Microsoft is at it again. Their latest round of security patches for Windows XP, Vista and 7 appears to be causing some PCs to seize up and display a black screen. This renders the computer useless.

It is good to know that even with a new operating system, some things don't change :-)
