Towel Day 2006
Do you know where your towel is? I do. Remember folks, Towel Day in remembrance of Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, is May 25th. And if you saw the movie and were disappointed, I highly recommend reading the book(s) if you haven’t already done so.

Gaffer Tape Wallet
db clay makes these excellent gaffer tape wallets. I guess that trumps my duct tape wallet. In any case, they come in a variety of printed versions, as well as a plain grey edition that they encourage you to customize yourself.
What is gaffer’s tape? db clay says:
Gaffer’s tape is a vinyl-impregnated cloth tape that is waterproof, abrasion resistant, industrial grade, and has a tensile strength nearing 48 lbs. per inch. Gaffer’s tape is conventionally used by a Gaffer. This is an electrician who is responsible for the lighting & sound on a film or stage set. Every movie, every concert and every elementary school play are all held together by this material. The fundamentals of this material are also used in book binding, medical tape and other industrial applications.

Acoustic Locators (my Tuba is bigger than yours!)
Before the dawn of radar, the military spent quite a large amount of time researching Acoustic Locators. This typically involved building odd pseudo-speaker-horn-like devices to hear enemy forces from a distance. I wonder if one day the stealth technology of today. or radar, or the use of satellites, or acoustic weapons etc etc will be looked at through the same historical lens of incredulity?
