It walks up and down stairs and through rough terrain because of its uniquely shaped wheel. And for some reason, the wheels remind me of an old spiral drawing toy from my childhood.

Interview: Dr. Stephen R. Covey
I had the honor of talking to Dr. Stephen R. Covey author of “7 Habits of Highly Effective People“. We discuss some of “7 Habits” and his latest project “The Quest for Success“.
Find out what “primary success” is and how you can attain it. If you haven’t read any of his books or gotten involved with Dr. Covey’s works, you owe it to yourself and your family to do so.

More Star Wars T-shirts
If you ask me, they should have spoofed this one with Kara Thrace. She’d look good in mermaid fins dontcha think?
The Ecosaber is the only way a typical stormtrooper would have a fair shot at surviving a fight w/ a Jedi.

The Thirteen Greatest Error Messages of All Time
#1 will come as no surprise to anyone but the others are a nice trip down memory lane. The “lp0 is on fire” is something I’d like to see in the wild one day.

Audio Tour – Blue Sky Green Field Wind Project
Join me as I take my Zoom H2 on its inaugural audio tour to WE Energies project in northeast Fond du Lac county in Wisconsin to see one of the massive Wind Generators up close.
Kreg also found this video of part of the project. If you listen closely, you can hear one of the wind generators nearby the cameraman (hint: listen for the sound of a jet plane going by every second or so.)
Special thanks to Barry McNaulty, and Pat Kiley from WE Energies and Michael Vickerman from Renew Wisconsin for their cooperation.

CCT: What's Up with Dragon Con
Hey everyone..Kreg here…I didn’t visit Dragon Con this year, and truth be told I never have. (You can remove 1 Geek Point from my stats) I haven’t visited any Cons except for the Podcast Expo which is admittedly quite different in focus than Dragon Con.
BUT…through the magic of social networking and podcasting I asked some friends to share with me their experience from this years Dragon Con to do a little field research, if you will, if this would be a better fit for me to visit next year.
