Just Cute



OK, this is just too cute!

iPad Sales













This is pretty amazing. Apple today announced that they have sold 3 million iPads in 80 days. At that rate, every person in the US should have one by the end of the Summer :-)

Antilles Seaplanes















This is a very cool story that reminds me of the resurrection of Polaroid. In 1936, Grumman aircraft was commissioned to build 10 planes that would become known as the Grumman G-21 Goose. It is famous for being able to land on land or water. By the end of World War II, there were 350 G-21's in existence. Grumman built he plane until 1970 when production ceased.

As one might imagine, spare parts became hard to obtain once production stopped. Dean Franklin of Miami was sole distributor of spare and used parts for the G-21 until 2000 when V.L. Manuel answered a classified add to purchase all of Mr. Franklin's inventory.

Since that time, Mr. Manuel formed Antilles Seaplanes in North Carolina. They are now taking deposits for their new G-21G Super Goose. To build this plane they took the original Grumman blueprints and refined the G-21 to be safer, stronger, lighter, more dependable, easier to maintain.

They rescued a piece of history!

Dekorta















There is a cool new phenomenon in Japan known as Dekorta. Dekorta is a combination of the English words 'decoration' and 'truck.' These trucks have elaborate lights, spoilers, murals, and chrome.

What is amazing is that these vehicles are actually used to transport goods.
