Last night before falling asleep I started reading the History of The Black Box Flight Recorder. This is an Australian invention, and I had bought my brother a copy of the book for his birthday this year. The book is an interesting read, and it appears it will only get more interesting as I get more into the guts of the book.

Slashdot provided a link to a DVD called The Goodfather which is a training guide for new fathers based on the humor of The Godfather series of movies. It provides, according to the Web Site, hundreds of baby lessons designed from a “mans point of view”, definitions, thousands of baby names, and a baby card maker all set to a hilarious gangster parody, including baby toting mobsters & the Goodfather himself. If I ever have a child I think this will be on the top of my shopping list… Or on the top of the list of presents to give to friends who have kids….

The SMG has a review of Popetown which is a highly satirical view of life in Rome. Personally having watched it once, I never really got into the show.

Lastly, there is a short project to build a cheap LED torch here. It involves an LED, transistor, resistor, some wire and a ferrite, and works even when the AA battery is supposed to be dead… Interesting.
