  • Suunto Advizor

    Suuonto Advizor. Thanks to Brad Silverberg and John Zagula for getting me this a few years ago. It is the most complicated watch in the world. It is two years and I’m still learning how to use it. BTW, I’ve mirrored the Advizor Manual in case they decide to get rid of it later.

  • Polar Watch Servicing

    Polar USA. Eventually everything needs a new battery. My Polar watch should be sent back to those folks for a new battery. They don’t encourage you to just get a new battery from a jeweler. Wonder if that is revenue protection or if you can really damage the waterproofing. In any case, both the watch…

  • Calvin's Project: Aztecs and Mayans

    Calvin’s project this year are Aztecs and Mayans. He started with some basic questions he made up himself including: # How many gods do they believe in? # Where did they worship? Here are some of the places he looked: * Google Search: mayan temple. Some fantastic pictures of Mayan temples * “Aztec Temples”:http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&lr=&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=aztec+temple&sa=N&tab=wi. Same…

  • On to 250GB

    Tom’s Hardware Guide Mass Storage: Decision at 250 GB: Maxtor MaXLine Plus II vs. Western Digital WD2500JB – Conclusion: All-Around Talent vs. Business Type. Well it had to happen, now you can get 250GB in a single drive. So a terabyte in a home with a couple of PCs is very likely.

  • Wireless need to know

    Toms’ Hardware has some great guide. Here are two I thought were very interesting for those with wireless networks: * Tom’s Hardware Guide Networking: Wireless Bridging Need-To-Know – Introduction. A good introduction to bridging multiple wireless networks together. You can daisy chain wireless networks all around the house if you are careful. * “Wifi Performance”:http://www17.tomshardware.com/network/20030502/index.html.…

  • It's Coming! The Matrix Reloaded

    Seattle Cinerama. The matrix is nearly here. Tickets from “MovieTickets.com”:http://www.movietickets.com/house_detail.asp?house_id=5881. The 12:45PM show looks good. There is also 7AM on May 15-17 if you can believe that! I’m go for the week after the Thursday it opens. That makes it May 23 I think. Thanks to the amazing “Digital Remastering”:http://www.killermovies.com/m/thematrixreloaded/articles/2995.html technology that IMAX has. Then…

  • Training Right

    Train Right with Carmichael Training Systems. So, I finally decided to try this and get more systematic. I’m going to start recording my times and what I do in this blog. Blogs are such a good place to store things as Zagula points out. Here is what I did today: * 72 minutes in zone…

  • Guavamundo

    guavamundo. Our latest project is at Guavamundo. Not much there yet, but watch this space!

  • Star Wars: Is there hope

    Zagula spells trouble: Coming from Genndy Tartakovsky and More. There is hope for Star Wars. For me at least Star Wars II was unwatchable. What a fall from grace. Anyway, John says some real geniuses are doing the final version. For me anyway, part of the problem is that there is zero suspense. It is…
