Digital Lifestyle I really like all this digital lifestyle stuff. Its just that the content most interesting to my family is not from Hollywood. Sure, we watch movies occasionally (sorry, no TV) and play Xbox (GameBoy for the kids), but on a recent visit to my parents, the favorite activity was watching slides of my brothers and me growing up. There were thousands of slides in the process of being transferred to DVD's. That's the content you don't delete, throw away, or sell on eBay. 5:58:10 PM    comment []

Laser Man Patriot Act used to quell laser pointer terror. Don't look now [The Register] Obviously, the author of this article isn't a pilot. Who cares what law was being used to prosecute someone stupid enough to shine a powerful laser on a plane at night. If you are VFR or IFR and you lose your ability to see either the instruments or your ground reference, you can become disoriented very quickly. Spatial disorientation, close to the ground, usually has fatal results for everyone on board. If you are a passenger, you just have to hope the auto pilot is engaged. 5:13:29 PM    comment []
