I was searching around the net to see if any new KOTOR 3 news had surfaced, but came up empty handed in that department. However, I did discover that KOTOR era mineratures got an expansion of 60 different characters and the KOTOR Campaign Guide is now available. RPG players should rejoice that Wizards of the Coast now has these items on the market. If you aren’t experienced with traditional RPGs, you might want to check the Star Wars options out. Any fan of the films, comic books or video games will probably be interested in what they find.

To find out more about these items, check out the article on TheForce.Net.

Canadian police constables round up strippers after their shifts at the club and bring them back to the constable lounge for drinks after hours. Evidently, the lounge has vending machines filled with liquor and beer. No stripper pole was mentioned.

Wow. This wouldn’t happen in the US, as it is highly unimaginable any police department would have vending machines with liquor in them. Our liquor laws generally wouldn’t allow it. But DAMN CANADA! Mad props. I didn’t know you had it in you.

If wireless power were possible would you invest in the idea? Students at MIT have tested the impossible thought, and they say it is possible to transfer power ‘wirelessly’. Think of it, no more wires to charge your mp3 players, cellphones, laptops, alarm clocks etc. A team from MIT’s Department of Physics, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and Institute for Soldier Nanotechnologies (ISN) has experimentally demonstrated an important step toward accomplishing this vision of the future. While the concept does seem to be futuristic, a scientist from the 1900 had developed and tested this theory. His name.. Nicola Tesla!

Radiation methods

Various methods of transmitting power wirelessly have been known for centuries. Perhaps the best known example is electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves. While such radiation is excellent for wireless transmission of information, it is not feasible to use it for power transmission. Since radiation spreads in all directions, a vast majority of power would end up being wasted into free space. One can envision using directed electromagnetic radiation, such as lasers, but this is not very practical and can even be dangerous. It requires an uninterrupted line of sight between the source and the device, as well as a sophisticated tracking mechanism when the device is mobile. Continue reading »
