Cellphones In Your Shoes

Now you can receive your calls from your shoe. An Australian scientist has developed the first ever shoe cell phone along with a step by step instruction online.

The cell phone has practical applications like helping the elders, says Paul Gardner-Stephen, the inventor, to the the Sydney Morning Herald.

The gadget was created by Gardner-Stephen, a post-doctoral fellow in bioinformatics at Adelaide’’s Flinders University. He first created the device as a prop for a church camp drama presentation that had a "Get Smart" theme.

Gardner set himself a challenge to create the next latest gadget, the shoe-phone’, after he discovered…

Lunch in Malawi a New Delicacy

Lunch in Malawi: Salted field mice on a stick

LILONGWE, Malawi — Cooked, salted or dried, field mice strung on sticks are sold as a popular delicacy in Malawi markets and roadside stalls.

The mice are hunted in corn fields after the harvest when they have grown plump on a diet of grains, fruits, grass and the odd insect. The most widely eaten species is known locally as Kapuku, gray in color and with a shorter tail than the more common rat.

Young boys have to be quick as they chase the mice through the fields and catch them. But local villagers have also come up with an innovative trap.

One method involves digging holes and putting clay pots filled with water into them. The mouth of the pot is smeared with fried corn husks. As some of the mice fight for the husks, they fall into the pot and drown.

Malawi, with a population of 12 million, is among the poorest countries in the world, with rampant disease and hunger, aggravated by periodic droughts and crop failure.

Great food and atmosphere and if you’ve never been there you should go soon.

It’s about an hour from home for us but well worth the trip for some REAL Irish dishes.

Being an aquarium owner also, I realize now that I must not perform exercises near it.

Of course, I already don’t perform any exercises; anywhere.

OOPS – Apple tries to shut up burning iTouch man

Legal threats were not enough to silence the truth
Apple’s iPhones and iPods have been known to have overheating problems, at times bursting into flames.  Apple is reportedly doing everything in its power — or more aptly in its army of lawyers’ power — to keep these relatively infrequent incidents away from the public eye.

Ken Stanborough, 47, was among the victims of an exploding iPod and legal ploys by Apple.  Mr. Stansborough bought an iPod Touch for his 11-year-old daughter.  When holding the iPod one warm day last month, it began to overheat.  He states, "It made a hissing noise.  I could feel it getting hotter in my hand, and I thought I could see vapour."

The father resorted to playing hot potato with the iPhone, tossing it…

Our Government…Arlen says we need to approve health care bill FAST…I hope not!

This crowd is pretty smart.

Yeah, the poor little congress has a lot to do so push it fast…yeah right and then we have even larger problems.

I speak as one who is getting ripped most everyday by the currently faulty healh care system.  So we want this approved fast without much real study on it.

NOT ME!

New Favorite TV Show, Warehouse 13

I highly recommend this one…so far at least.  I found this on Hulu.com, since I don’t get the SyFy Channel.  I liked it as it seems to be a combo of, “Indiana Jones”, “National Treasure”, “Moonlighting” (for us older folks) and one of any other cop show over the past 15 years.

You can also get it at the new SyFy.com site but I’m partial to Hulu.

Here is the link since I can’t seem to get the player to work here…drat.

Hmm, which President do you think Baseball likes best?

And just think, they booed Obama before his healthcare garbage hit the news.  Now I guess they would through rotten tomatoes.

Skyline Drive and a free park admission what more could you ask for…?

Well OK, Robin with me, the top down on the Mustang all day and a great cigar.  And I had all those today.  What a great day!!!

Sorry you couldn’t have come along to enjoy it to.

Notice the southern beginning of Massanutten Mountains diagonally left at the top of the sign and the Alleghenies are hazy to the left of it.

Sorry for the poor pic from my phone but hey, a BlackBerry is really for email and calls.
