For those of us who aren't familiar with the song "Misirlou", it's a Greek pop tune from the early 20th century. It got a new lease on life when surf rock founder Dick Dale recorded it in the early 60's. Quentin Tarantino repopularized it when he included it in "Pulp Fiction". More recently, the...

This couple has expanded the musical abilities of glass to where they can play classical music. Bellisima!

The holidays are over, college football is over, and the Rolex 24 at Daytona isn't for a couple of weeks, so not much on the telly that interests me. I was poking around the internet, and found a few musical pieces that were, shall we say, surprising. First up is a gentleman who is an accordion...

EDS wanted a hair sample.

When in doubt, reboot.

The big tech firms were hiring like crazy because their goal was market share above all else, which is common at the outset of an industry. They've moved past that phase and are now focusing on profitability, and are laying off staff who have been working on unprofitable projects.

Hey, the holidays aren't over until the last credit card bill has been paid!

I'm not usually pro-Georgia, but I appreciate them shutting up the FSU fans.

We have a Roku connected to each TV. The TV in our exercise room is around 15 years old and we can use the latest streaming services thanks to the Roku. If it becomes obsolete, you get another one, it's about $35 - $50 at Target, depending on the model. You can program the Roku remote to operate...

Old enough to have been one of those early model remote controls. We did have one of those Space Command remote equipped TVs, my mother dropped her keys and the TV came on. We tried doing it intentionally, never could get it to do that a second time.

There are a number of streaming devices that you can plug into your current TV. We use Roku here, I'm know Apple has a TV product as well. It's been my experience that the TV itself should last 10 years or more, but streaming services come and go. I'd look at the picture and sound quality of...

I'm sure that fellow in your profile picture could help you out here.

If it doesn't have two engines and two pilots I'm not flying on it.

A 900 NM flight isn't five hours in an airliner. For this mission, I'd take the airliner. The climate control is much better, and you're flying over the weather, or diverting around it. There's a reason that I asked how much time you've spent in a light GA plane is that I don't thing anyone...

How much time have you spent in a small general aviation aircraft? Legs of 4+ hours can be quite uncomfortable.

Not in this case.

Cable ties are the new baling wire.

Thanks, but I think I will drive.

I'd be hesitant to jump into a Formula Enterprises car if I didn't have some experience on something purpose built that ran a racing tire. I had been driving an Improved Touring Scirocco, and wanted something faster. I was thinking of a Formula Continental/2000 which added wings to the equation...

That's horrible. I can see making older pilots do some sort of screening periodically, but to flat out refuse to insure you, that's just wrong. It's not like you're wanting to fly a PC-12 into a Bravo, that's a little old fly for fun VFR airplane.
