how to build a light saber ? part 1
So I guess the first question is: why to build a light saber? and the answer will be : because of a kid...(8 years old),
Now the initial request was for a "real light saber" not a fake one (which can't really destroy things, the kids really wanted a real light saber)
This lead to the other question (oh boy my engineering head is working like crazy) , why not?
is there away to build a real light saber? the answer my friends - depends on who you're asking.....
now this goes into a total different level...because the simple straight answer will be : NO...
but let's talk about this for a second: have you ever seen is an even-toed ungulate mammal, the tallest of all land living animal species. Males can be 4.8 to 5.5 metres (16 to 18 feet) tall and weigh up to 900 kilograms (2000 pounds). Females are generally slightly shorter and weigh less.long necks which allow them to browse on the leaves of trees, and elongated forelegs (which are much longer than the hind legs) there are no extra vertebrae, but each of the seven bones is greatly enlarged. Bone constitutes the bud-like horns called ossicorns, heart, which can weigh up to 24 lb (10 kg), has to generate around double the normal blood pressure for a large mammal in order to maintain blood flow to the brain against gravity. In the upper neck, a complex pressure-regulation system called the rete mirabile prevents excess blood flow to the brain when lowers its head to drink.
so what is it?
now if this can work - a light saber for sure can work - this just makes me "expert in Giraffes" ....
next time, how we build it....

Apple...Apple?...Apple!
So here's the deal...a year ago we had only iPOD touch 2gr, nothing fancy, and i was never "Apple fan boy" , not sure what happened but now here are the i'm currently have:
1. the old iPOD touch 2gr
2. iPhone 4G
3. iPhone 4G
4. iPAD-2
5. Macbook air + (external DVD)
6. iPOD shuffle
7. nike + sensor
no wonder Apple financial condition is wonderful...
now, lets talk about usability...
when i first start using the Macbook Air- it was to me just like, guess what? true: ubuntu, that's it - no more , no less.
then after using it more - it looks like a well build version of ubuntu, solid , and fully working- have to say- i like it, no big deal with drivers, no crazy kernel work...anyhow- working.
still didn't fail in love, it took me awhile- weeks of love/hate kind of thing, but now...it is a different story...let see you trying to take the macbook air- out of my hand, you will need to kill me first.
some thing - iPhone, absolutely hate it....took me awhile - love and hate - all the story again, now - i think - it grow with me...(not full love yet),
so...what this is suppose to say? nothing at all....that i have a long term connection issue?
who cares.
have fun...it is fun to be the king

are we doomed to be access depended?
Hi,
let's start with the following : why can't our cell phones, pick any radio access technology out there, and we will get a bill at the end of the month?
think about the following: you bought a new shiny phone, you turned it on...
the device will promote you a question....
which WNO (wireless Network Operator) you would like to join? you will pick one, then once your RSSI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Received_signal_strength_indication) is below a threshold, boom-ka-boom , the device will switch itself to the best network it can find around...
it will not really matter if this is a WiFi. GSM, CDMA , who knows what....out there, it just pick the best in the area,
then we can also improve this into , which has the best price, or the best speed , or whatever, and for you as a user...it will be always transparent.
who knows maybe, one day we will wake up, and that's exactly what will happened, software based radio, virtual SIM cards, WISPr 2.0 , Hotspot 2.0, LTE , LTE-A, MAPCOM, iFOM , the all amazing soup will come into realty , and the vision of doing everything (...but nothing- this is for a totally different post) will be served to us by our beloved WNO...
