If simply flying your RC plane isn't quite giving you the thrill it used to, it could be time to upgrade your firepower. The plug and play Quanum bomb system might be just the bad idea you were looking for.
Looking disturbingly realistic and being dangerously easy to install, the Quanum RC bomb system could spell trouble if found in the hands of the wrong remote control pilots.
Though RC bombs aren't exactly a new idea, Quanum's $17 kit seems simple and effective. The system sticks onto the underside of any RC aircraft, size .25 or larger, and can be triggered by an extra servo channel in your receiver. The bomb itself is made of a durable nylon. You can fill it with any payload your fiendish heart desires. Packing it with chalk powder results in a nice plume of smoke; filling it with strawberry jam results in hilarity of some sort.
The system includes an extra release plate so you can design and drop your own custom armaments: a bouquet of flowers for an unsuspecting loved one or maybe some fertilizer over your pumpkin patch. JUST KIDDING. Load that sucker up with a water balloon and then it's bombs away. [Nerd Approved]
Pinch to zoom? Nah. Try unfold to zoom. The Map2, a "zoomable map on paper," is a clever invention that packs more detailed maps underneath its folds.
With GPS and map software ubiquitous on every smartphone, it's a sad reality that paper maps have fallen by the wayside. With location-based searching, powerful zoom capaibilities, and a GPS chip tracking your every move, it's hard to deny the advantages of digital maps.
But there's still something satisfying about squinting your eyes, pointing your index finger, and finding your route on a good old paper map. Enter Map2, a high tech, low tech map that lets you zoom in to a more detailed view without going digital.
From the original fold, each of the four quadrants can be unfolded to reveal a more detailed map of that area; the Map2 is essentially five maps in one.
If you're looking for a compromise between the comforting exactitude of digital maps and the old-fashioned thrill of not knowing exactly where you're going, the Map2 might be just the ticket. The $13 map is currently only available for the City of London, but I wouldn't be surprised to see this solution roll out for other cities in the near future. [Wired]
It's no secret that Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Yahoo are always expanding their reaches, slowly but surely adding new products and services into their line-ups. The New York Times's Nick Bilton took a step back and surveyed their empires.
It doesn't come as much of a surprise to see how much these four behemoths overlap, and I doubt anyone will be surprised when these companies continue to fill in this grid in 2010.
Looking at the empty spaces reveals where we might look for these companies to grow. There have been grumblings of a Google music store for a while, and it seems entirely possible that Apple's Tablet will at least in part emphasize its capabilities as a gaming device.
As the companies stretch and grow, some of their endeavors will prove more successful than others, but until then this chart is an interesting reminder of how vast their reaches already are. [New York Times Bits]
Get outta Dodge. Seriously, pack up and leave. This is easier for some more than others, but if you’re bored out of your mind in your current life, sometimes sticking your roots (or tail) in a new, unfamiliar land can be exactly what you need.
Sorry about that friends I thought I had saved the most recent additions but I guess not. So now I have to go back and upload the photos again.....as I was saying....The climbs are exhausting but the views are worth it. I feel another long nights sleep coming on after dinner. Ya Mon BequiaDavid

Now let us see why the hair experts recommend ceramic hair straighteners. The question may always arise what is there in a ceramic hair straightener which is not present in ordinary hair straighteners. The fact is that the ceramic heating technology emits negative ions. These negative ions helps in closing the cuticle layers of the hair and while doing so the natural moisture which is very esse
Leaving the drizzly Blue Mountains we headed towards Sydney for our short flight to Melbourne and the start of our road trip along the Great Ocean Road. We had booked with Qantas and the queue for luggage check in turned out to be reminiscent of the queue for New Yearrsquos Eve minus the spectacular fireworks. Qantas like Virgin probably have a bit of work to do if they are going to thrive
We woke up early and took a taxi to the bus terminal at 830am we then got the 945am bus to David.

We seem to have found our favorite activity in bangkok. Sitting at the Wild Orchid on soi chanasongkram sipping drinks and watching people go by.

If you stop you will be accosted and hav
Just a short update on the past week from travelling from Hong Kong to Macau. We left Hong Kong on Wednesday morning or so we planned to leave then but Andrew had a few places he had to visit to purchase more protein powder before we left Hong Kong. We finally left just after lunch time to catch the train from Causeway Bay to Sheng Wai to board the ferry for Macau. We booked the hotel The Best
Well Chiang Mai was bittersweet. The first actual day I had I meet up with Nana who is a friend from Vernon's penpal you could say. She met me at my guesthouse. She was like half my size but very cute and polite. She liked to giggle a lot. We took a taxi to the biggest temple about an hour away from the town and had met a local canadian from Vancouver. He was a bit too friendly about 40 year old

Shock and horror. You can't get Fox's Glacier Mints at Fox's Glacier o In other news it was shut despite the fact it has been there for millions of years carving away at the landscape a flurogit with a walkie talkie and a rope prevented all progress near to the actual Glacier.

Do you think there's a difference between design and craze Or are they interchangeableI find myself mulling over this one pretty a bit. While the two are in no means mutually total I do think that they are very different. When superstar asks if I respect BCC a technique blog or a method blog I immediately answer comfort blog. And even although I'm so certain that I am one and not the ot
