IN SPACE NO ONE CAN SMELL THE LITTER BOX
Most people will pretty much agree that Alien is very close to being a perfect science ficiton movie. Although some of it is kind of dated now (it was made in 1979... in the movie the computer interface is almost comical) it still has some decent effects. I was watching it again the other night and I noticed something that really bothered me. It seems that they let the cat have it's way around the ship. Anyone who has ever spent much time around cats would know that the whole place would began to smell like a litter box after awhile... especially in a sealed environment. No wonder the alien got so mad.

RESCUE TAPE
This is a fairly new product and I'm looking to get my hands of some. It is a self fusing tape that has a tensile strength of 700 lbs. It's insulative for up to 800 volts per layer (not sure when that would come in handy... but you never know). It can withstand 500 degrees of heat and remains flexible down to -85 degrees F. Some agencies are even putting it in med kits. You see it at http://www.rescuetape.com/ . 
BEING SICK
I had a pretty bad cold this past week and I don't care to repeat it. Having said that, the amazing thing about being sick is that first time you start to feel better everything seems so good. The human body is truly amazing.

TITAN AE
I'd almost forgotten about this film until I saw it the other day. It was produced in 2000 and used traditional animation as well as computer generated graphics. This is a good movie and goes by at a fast pace. If you haven't seen it have your DVR search for it.

EASTER GLOCK
This is a chocolate gun that is sure to get someone shot over the Easter holiday. Either that or all that chocolate will raise you cholesterol. You can see it (and other cool stuff) at www.solidersystems.com .
