It’s been over 2 years since my last guide to Data Cards so I figured it was time for a new one… I have to laugh at all the people getting “Sponsored” by Mellenicom seeing as how it’s the #3 post of all time on my blog… I didn’t get one Due to the VERY limited nature of the beast I am intentionally not talking about...

Warren Buffet has been on a roll lately buying up newspapers… I can’t figure out why.  I made a blog post almost 3 years ago about “The Rocky” in Denver   I figured someone would face plant by now… but the papers keep getting saved. Moving to the country we found out very quickly that you can’t find out what is going on as easily as in the city. ...

There has been a lot of press lately about those pesky storm chasers and clogging up roads all over the plains.  The media has been having a heyday talking with local Law Enforcement and Emergency Managers about if chasers are really worth it (From a safety perspective) for the “Problems” they cause.   Let’s throw out all the talk of saving lives and...

So with the “new” and improved version on the way (A new model that supports Android) and the old on clearance I decided to give it at try.   Amazingly I have never even heard of this thing until now and for the most part with good reason.

We lost a Father, Son, Friend and Storm Chaser today whose passion for chasing will never be matched ever again. This “kid” would drive all night, every night to see a storm… most times alone just to see natures fury unload. I cried for a little while, I talked with friends, I joined in the “SN Tribute” like everyone else but in...

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...

I say it all the time… I like to share my passion for storm chasing.   Well there is a fine line between sharing and commercial gain from my work.   The current state of “Viewer submitted Video & Pictures” is killing the ability for some of my fellow chasers to sell their video and pictures. A word of advice to chasers with stars in...
