| 08-15-2008 - Funny Gymnast Mr. Nathan sent me this one also. It definitely got to be a comedy routine on the bars. (0) Comments 08-15-2008 - Guess Accent Game I just got this from Mr. Nathan. It's a game where people speak in english and you guess what country they are from. I only scored 20 points. How well can you do? (0) Comments 08-04-2008 - Hydrogen / Water Conversion With high gas prices these days, it's peaked my interest in reading about Hydrogen and Electrolosys. On wikipedia it states: Hydrogen has been called the least efficient and most expensive possible replacement for gasoline (petrol). This typically made sense til I started doing the calculations. I found a briefcase solar panel over at ebay for roughly $80. It was 13 Watts at 12 Volts that roughly gives you 1 Amp. Now at google answers it states: 16.5 Kwatt-hours of energy are needed to convert 1 gallon of water to hydrogen. Here's where it gets a little dicey. Back at google answers it also states: The approximate amount of hydrogen produced from one gallon of water (at 1 atmosphere pressure and at 32 degrees Fahrenheit) is 1250 gallons. Did I read that right? 1250 gallons of Hydrogen from 1 gallon of water? It would take us a whole year to use 1250 gallons of gas in a car. Let's rewind for a second and say we only want one gallon of hydrogen. That would be 16.5 Kwatt-hours / 1250 = 13.2 Watts. If our data is correct, then our 13 Watt briefcase solar panel could make us 1 gallon of hydrogen per hour. I'm sure there has got to be something wrong in my data, but it sure does make one speculate.

After looking though a couple dozen results comparing prices, I was convinced that Cheap Cycle Parts is the cheapest you will find parts for Yamaha dirt bikes. My wife and I purchased a couple dirt bikes recently. I know I'll have to be doing some repairs, so I thought I'd make note of a good place to get cheap parts.

I was shocked to see that he could get over 6 years in prison for the incident. It got even better when I saw he had been drinking. It got really good when it said he lives with his mother. (0) Comments 07-09-2008 - TFTP I was doing some work with a TFTP server and wanted to make a note of some information. Here is the link on tftp that I wanted to save for myself. (0) Comments 07-06-2008 - Citizenship Test I found this citizenship test over on Nates message board, and found it interesting. I cried myself to sleep when I only scored 60%. Some were stupid mistakes, others I really had no idea what the answer was. They seemed to have picked some of the harder questions. Check it out and post your score in the comments so everyone can compare. (3) Comments 07-01-2008 - General Hammond (Don S. Davis) Dies Raise your hand if you watch Stargate SG-1? K, now put your hands down. Remember general Hammond? He just died a couple days ago. I remember hears that the reason they picked him is cause he was the stunt double for Pete on McGyver. The writers liked the interaction between McGyver and Pete, but Pete had died in real life, so they offered it to Don S. Davis. Thanks for helping save planet earth from the Gould. (0) Comments 06-30-2008 - Espresso Book Machine For a while now we have heard about how companies are having a hard time competeing against Amazon. I was sent this link to something called an Espresso Book Machine. It can print and bind a book in about 7 minutes. There is an actual video link towards the bottom that lets you see the machine in action. If this thing takes off, then it would appear Amazon has something to worry about. Wait, the Kindel is an electronic version of a book. Maybe Amazon won't have to worry. (0) Comments 06-25-2008 - Monsanto Video aired in France-Germany I found this documentary on Monsanto. It talks about Round-Up. Even though it's an interesting technology, I'm still afraid of any company that genetically alters the food supply. I didn't have enough time to watch the Monsanto Documentary so I made note of it here on my blog. (4) Comments
