Cool little Atari Punk circuit with a 556. Should be a cool project to do with the kids. I’m certain they would enjoy annoying their mother with one.
R/C Rocket Launching Tank
This is an older video but it’s come up again on one of the robotics forums and is worth a look. The same guys to came up with the Vex Flame Thrower have build a cool rocket launching tank with Vex parts. The tank tread design looks awesome.

Olympic boycott? Exactly the wrong idea
Olympic boycott? Exactly the wrong idea
Politicians and pundits who so blithely suggest the United States should boycott the Olympics ought to give up their lifelong dreams and quit their careers in protest. After all, that’s what they’re asking the athletes to do – give up their lifelong dreams. How many of these politicians and commentators would have the guts to do that?
Most people who know me understand that my interest in sports is quite a bit less than my interest in, oh, just about anything else. I do however, understand dreams and goals and realize just how hard the athletes have worked. Most of these people have worked their entire lives for a chance to compete. If you deny these athletes a chance to earn a medal then you are denying them their future.
If you really want to boycott something, then try boycotting goods produced in China. Though good luck with that since almost everything is made over there.

WeaknessFinder 0.9a — What makes you stick out?
Introducing the NEW and Improved WeaknessFinder 0.9a assessment and website. Available exclusively to visitors of this site. Click here to take the quiz and be enlightened!
For some reason the weakness finder has seen a huge surge in traffic. If you have never taken the Clifton Strengths Finder test this won’t be nearly as funny as it is to those who have. Oddly, most of the hits are from IPs registered to Gallup. I just hope they have a sense of humor and don’t make a big todo about this.
