Dan Snyder’s Response to Redskin Name Change Push: NEVER
I don’t pay much attention to anything Daniel Snyder does or says, but this caught my attention. Some folks are pushing to have the Redskins change their name to something less “offensive,” like “Redtails.” As long as he’s owner, I don’t think it’s going to happen. Bravo, Dan Snyder, for not caving to politically correct [...]
Stuff I Like: The Penny Floor
This is so cool, I want to do it to one of the rooms in my house. Ryan Lange and Emily Belden glued pennies to their bedroom floor, and then grouted and clear-coated them.

Stuff I Want: John Deere Tango E5 Autonomous Mower
It randomly cuts up to 1,800 square meters, within a boundary established by a wire. It automatically recognizes when the lithium ion battery is low, and returns to its charging station. It avoids predetermined areas like beds. I suppose it’s up to you, before you sit back with a beer to watch this little marvel, [...]
Stuff I Want: Arsenal Firearms Double Barrel .45 Pistol
I like the looks of this weapon, and it appears to have tremendous stopping power, by virtue of two simultaneously-fired 230 grain bullets.

Stuff I Want: Palomino Blackwing 602
I read some time ago about the best pencil ever made, the Blackwing 602 by Eberhard Faber. They don’t make them anymore, so existing supplies of them fetch outrageous prices, if you can find them. So sought after are they that a single 602 will cost you up to $40. If you’re not that rabid [...]
Stuff I Want: Sir Francis Bacon Peanut Brittle

Stuff I Want: Eye-Fi 8GB Wireless SD Card
Image via Wikipedia I’m likely getting back into a DSLR camera very soon, after a disappointing voyage from Canon 30D to Sony and Olympus point-and-shoot cameras (Still trying to sell that one).
