Aluminum Gallium Hydrogen Fuel
May 21st, 2007 
admin Aluminum loves air. If aluminum is exposed to air it creates a skin that prevents further interaction with air. And aluminum is pretty non-reactive in water.

Vortrac 3D Hurricane Monitoring System
May 18th, 2007 admin I love weather. I especially love the power and intensity that comes with forms of severe weather.

It’s very [...]

May 16th, 2007 admin When working for a technology blog, sometimes opportunities arise where you can report on a gathering of technological goods (e.g. LAN parties, technology conventions, tours of enterprise-grade server arrays, etc.) for everyone’s benefit. Today, I was an attendant of the University of Cincinnati’s Tech Expo 2007, at the Duke Energy Center. Where Paul would call [...]
Oil-Cooled Machines
May 15th, 2007 admin With all of this summer heat approaching, I’ve been slightly worried about my computer setup.
