Travel Planning to Kona, Hawaii- A Tutorial

May 26, 2007

My wife and I were planning on accompanying my brother and soon to be sister-in-law to the Big Island of Hawaii in June, and as a result I did quite a bit of planning for the trip. Being cost efficient is important to all of us, but making sure we end up with decent accommodations [...]

The Simplest Motor in the World

May 25, 2007

I tend to think that the description says it all on this one, but just to be clear, it’s the simplest motor… in the world. ;-)

A Cat and the Forbidden Fish

May 24, 2007

This video is fantastic! The cat can see the fish swimming below, but can’t get to them because the entire surface of the pond is frozen over.

In a few months I’ll be 37. I think it’s fair to assert that I’m past the point at which I’d be considered a young man, and I’m closing in on middle age. The most interesting thing that has accompanied age for me is an increasing awareness of how little I actually know. When I [...]

Review: Days Inn & Suites Laurel Maryland

May 22, 2007

I only have one thing to say about Laurel Maryland’s hotel situation. You don’t want to stay here if you have any other options. Go up the road to Columbia or over towards Baltimore, but avoid Laurel. Why is that? Because the Days Inn & Suites is among the “nicest” places to stay in this [...]
