“The Reactor Solar Backpack is the first in a line of backpacks with an integrated solar charging solution. Stylish and smart, this backpack combines the traits of a feature rich quality bag with a smart, effective solar charging module. The backpack has multiple pockets for your cell phone, PDA, hand held GPS unit, CD player or MP3 player, and a laptop computer. The MP3 pouch includes an inner mesh pocket and a convenient outlet for your headphones. External side mesh pockets can be used for a water bottle holder or other items for quick access. Included with the pack are large cavities for books or extra clothing when traveling. The back cavity houses a laptop sleeve that can be removed when extra space and lighter weight is needed. The front zippered accessory pouch includes pen holders, cd holders, an elastic lanyard for keys, and a removable clip for USB memory sticks.
The integrated solar charging module can be utilized by using a common 12V automotive charging adapter made specifically for the brand and type of personal electronics you own. Using a cell phone as an example, you can trickle charge the cell phone battery during casual commutes or long hikes with the backpack using your existing cigerette lighter cord (not included). The result is an extension of battery life, and a source for charging when traveling in remote areas where traditional chargng sources are not available, or in emergency situations.
The result is the ultimate backpack for your mobile needs.
This solar panel is not designed to charge a laptop computer.”

(but I bet my tiny little laptop would charge…)

But I still the Solio portable charger would be better for me as soon as the come out with a Treo tip…

creating an iPod playlist for my country called “Sturm und Twang” but
then I googled it and, of course, someone has beaten me to the punch.

Project manager is on site for a release… however, everyone else is at home doing their release duties through a VPN.
The office is dark, the area is industrial, the cleaning staff has long gone home.

Suddenly, printer near her cube spins up… this is different than the normal energy saver mode… then it spits out a single piece of paper.

(the camera view is looking in through the window) She walks over to the printer and picks up the page…
(the shot changes to an over the shoulder shot to read the page…)

The page says: YOU ARE DEAD.
(arial black 40 point (that’s my inner type geek coming out.))

…cue scary music and a bunch of dumbasses in the movie theater that scream “Run!”

heh.

I grow weary of late night releases.

Mikey came back from his echo cardiogram today (after a frustrating and not very good last few months…) and the news was very good…
The walls in his heart are strengthening and he has been upgraded from “Moderate Congestive Heart Failure” to “Mild Congestive Heart Failure”.
Looks like the last bout of badness was due to over medication and they can ease off some of his drugs… which is a win-win situation.

=;) I don’t think that this smiley emoticon adequately expresses the big grin on my face,

MSN Encarta – Could You Pass 8th-Grade Math?

I got 9/10… missed the carpet one… but I have hardwood floors anyway. What do I know from carpet?

Sometimes it amuses me and sometimes it hurts my feelings.

Today, I think it hurt my feelings a little…

When do you grow out of this? or is it a merely horrible consequence
of being a Leo with a Gemini moon?

sigh.
