Welcome to the web, Dad!

I just got a delightful note announcing how my dad now has his own website, OldNole.COM. Good to have a place for you to post your musings.

The only problem I see is that it’s FSU Seminoles-specific. Frankly, I don’t see much good news to talk about on the Seminoles, now that all the talent has moved to Raleigh. Maybe it will give all the Noles fans a place to commiserate. 🙂

Just kidding, of course. It’s fun to poke fun at our little family rivalry. I look forward to reading what the OldNole has to say. Why not head over there and say hello?

RC Plane Crosses Atlantic

A remote-control model airplane crossed the Atlantic Ocean yesterday in a record-breaking flight. It was the first time a true model airplane, defined as 11 pounds or less with 10cc or less of engine, had ever made the flight. It wasn’t always smooth sailing, as controllers lost contact with it in places. But somehow it got there.

I see it as a fantastic geek hacking effort, myself. In fact, I’d love to see the electronics they packed into this little plane.
