What do you do when the lights go out?

Aside from the obvious activity between a male and a female, what else can you do? I heard on the radio tonight, that Friday night was great night for amateur astronomers. Think of it. No lights. Just a totally dark sky to aim your telescope towards. Now you can see stars and planets that would normally be obscured by the city lights. The amateur astronomers had a great time.

Saw a company on TV that modifies Porches and then tests them out on the German Autobahn. After they get done, the engine now puts out over 500 hp. It is redlined at 7200 rpm. At that setting the car will do 212 mph. In the video I saw, they had the camera pointed at the digital speedometer. They took it right to 212 mph. Incredible!

I have purchased a program/service called GoToMyPc. I have loaded it on my station in my office. With this loaded, I can now access my PC from anywhere in the world. All I need is access to the net. I can even use a Mac (perish the thought) and still get to my PC. It is very cool technology.

I have a client that I needed this for. I installed it on his station and Pow! I could access his computer, just like I was sitting at his desk. This was through his fancy firewall and everything. With 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard and nested passwords, it is VERY secure. I’m still learning more about it, but the more I learn the more impressed I get with it.
