I have said time and again I don’t want to be on TV.   Monday over the lunch hour I received an interesting email from a news producer in D.C.   Apparently NRK (The Norwegian Broadcasting Company) wanted to do a story about Joplin and Storm Chasers and wanted to know if I could meet them in Joplin for an interview. Obviously I was not chasing Joplin...

It’s been a long year… 1 year to the day to be exact that Steve Miller OK and I have been working on this project but I am happy to finally be able to announce it.    I have been giving vague references to the “S.C.O.T.T.” and here it is the Self Contained Optical Tornado Transmitter!    Construction was completed late last summer...

After a post on Facebook the other night about Allison House & GR3  (products I adore) Evan Bookbinder reminded me about his StormLab software in a joking way.   I have to confess I played with it a bit about 4 years ago but had no clue what I was doing so all the features kinda blew over my head. So I went ahead and downloaded his demo (15 days) to give...

A year ago I said I would have a Verizon iPhone on day one and when it came I thought I really did not care.   I had been packing a Sprint EVO for about 2 weeks on a awesome Sprint SERO deal and figured that was it. I ported my AT&T iPhone number (also a iPhone 4) to google voice and was going to use GV/Android the way it was meant to be.  Well that was...
