My Wizard
Herbert, who had bone cancer, died at his suburban Bell Canyon home, said his son-in-law, Tom Nikosey.
"He really taught kids how to use the thinking skills of a scientist," said former colleague Steve Jacobs. He worked with Herbert on a 1980s show that echoed the original 1950s "Watch Mr. Wizard" series, which became a fond baby boomer memory.

NASA's Conundrum about going to Mars
Solution: Find an astronaut who wishes for the traditional "burial at sea". I know there are thousands of people qualified enough to go to mars and willing to make this choice.

RMA Grads -- listen up
I have some updates about RMA and the alumni for 97, 98, 1n 99. I was put in charge of the 10 year reunion. Some people have given me their contact info in the past. I did not share it with RMA as agreed to and stated before. I have stayed true to my word. I have a lot more info for many more people now, and I will share it on an individual permission ask first basis. i.e.
if you want to know how to contact john doe, I will contact john doe upon your behalf, and if John gives the OK, I will exchange the info!
I have respected the privacy of all the people who shared their information with me in regards to the RMA Alumni Association, being true to my word. I am now an "Alumni Coordinator" and plan on working with the school and each other.

The co-inventor of the TV remote, Robert Adler, has passed away :(
Various sources have credited either Polley, another Zenith engineer, or Adler as the inventor of the device. Polley created the "Flashmatic," a wireless remote introduced in 1955 that operated on photo cells. Adler introduced ultrasonics, or high-frequency sound, to make the device more efficient in 1956.
Adler joined Zenith's research division in 1941 after earning a doctorate in physics from the University of Vienna. He retired as research vice president in 1979, and served as a technical consultant until 1999, when Zenith merged with LG Electronics Inc.
During World War II, Adler specialized in military communications equipment. He later helped develop sensitive amplifiers for ultra high frequency signals used by radio astronomers and by the U.S. Air Force for long-range missile detection.
Adler also was considered a pioneer in SAW technology, or surface acoustic waves, in color television sets and touch screens. The technology has also been used in cellular telephones.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published his most recent patent application, for advances in touch screen technology, on February 1.
His wife, Ingrid, said Adler wouldn't have chosen the remote control as his favorite invention. In fact, he didn't even watch much television.
"He was more of a reader," she said. "He was a man who would dream in the night and wake up and say, 'I just solved a problem.' He was always thinking science."
Adler wished he had been recognized for more of his broad-ranging applications that were useful in the war and in space and were building blocks of other technology, she said, "but then the remote control changed the life of every man."
Rest in peace!!! -- Don't forget to press the "Sleep" button!!

FBI, Homeland Security Warn About Webcams
The FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have issued a warning about webcams. In one of their regular security advisories, Homeland Security and the FBI urge local, state, and federal agencies -- and the private sector -- to review what's available on webcams that transmit pictures of their facilities.
The advisory was sent after an Islamic extremist Web site posted an item entitled "You Can Spy on the Enemies."
The site provided a link to a live webcam at a regional airport in Hagerstown, Md., which allowed users to control the camera and zoom in on the terminal and cargo areas.
The webcam was disabled after airport officials were notified of the posting.
The security advisory urges government agencies and people in the private sector who have webcams to review the shots that are being transmitted.
Internet search engines provide a link to a remote-controllable camera at the Hagerstown airport, but the links no longer work.
An airport official told a local news station, "There are no working webcams at the airport available to the public."
I wonder if they were on camera when they said this?

Flock
This is an interesting new web browser I found. I usually use firefox with lots of extensions. But this is Flickr compatible (and MANY more social online sites), it has photo drag and drop, flickr streams, and some other visually cool stuff. I have not used it very long but its worth checking out. It is exactly like firefox (essentially a modified version), but with - photo, blog, news, and other social stuff. www.flock.com .

PLUR
(author unknown)
Our emotional state of choice is Ecstasy. Our nourishment of choice is Love. Our addiction of choice is technology. Our religion of choice is music. Our currency of choice is knowledge. Our politics of choice is none. Our society of choice is utopian though we know it will never be.
You may hate us. You may dismiss us. You may misunderstand us. You may be unaware of our existence. We can only hope you do not care to judge us, because we would never judge you. We are not criminals. We are not disillusioned. We are not drug addicts. We are not naive children. We are one massive, global, tribal village that transcends man-made law, physical geography, and time itself. We are The Massive. One Massive.
......
...
Our enemy of choice is ignorance. Our weapon of choice is information. Our crime of choice is breaking and challenging whatever laws you feel you need to put in place to stop us from celebrating our existence. But know that while you may shut down any given party, on any given night, in any given city, in any given country or continent on this beautiful planet, you can never shut down the entire party. You don't have access to that switch, no matter what you may think. The music will never stop. The heartbeat will never fade. The party will never end. I am a raver, and this is my manifesto.

A Question About Woodchucks

Question: How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Answer:
No woodchucks chuck wood. But if a woodchuck could chuck wood, then a woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck wood.
Suppose a woodchuck named Chuck could chuck wood. How much wood would Chuck the woodchuck chuck? Well, Chuck the woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck wood. Does this imply that because Chuck the woodchuck could chuck wood, that all woodchucks could chuck wood. No. Just because one woodchuck could chuck wood, does not mean that all woodchucks could chuck wood, although one woodchuck, Chuck could chuck wood.

A Notice to all.
She was talking to a customer and taking notes. As the notary noticed him noticing her, he realized the notary noticed that he was noticing her. When the notary realized he was noticing her, he noticed that she noticed and noticed that she stopped taking notes.
But then, the customer the notary was taking notes for, noticed that she stopped taking notes and noticed that she was noticing someone who was noticing her. So then, the bank manager noticed that the customer noticed that the notary stopped taking notes because the notary noticed that the guy was noticing her who noticed that she noticed he was noticing.
So the bank manager noticed that this situation has happened in the past before and realized that the notary has already received three warning notices about not taking good notes for the customers. But this time was different. The bank manager noticed who she noticed. It was the guy who wanted the bank notes. The manager said to the guy, “I noticed you almost broke your nose because you didn’t see that notice.” The guy noticed that the manager was noticeably right and said, “Your Right, no two wet floor notices are alike… I would like some bank notes please.”
So the manager pulls that mans account on the computer at the desk next to the notary who started to take the customers notes again while the man hummed some musical notes. It was the chorus the Pink Floyed song, “Money.” The bank manager noticed that the guy was very wealthy and wanted bank notes for all the money in his account and asked, “Are you leaving our bank?” and the guy said, “Yes, I noticed that you noticed the notary who stop taking notes of the customer because she noticed that I noticed her which put her on final notice, all because I noticed she was the most beautiful notary.”
The notary noticed this comment and stopped taking notes again. Then the customer noticed that the notary stopped taking notes. Then the bank manager noticed that the notary stopped taking notes again. But he then turned to the guy and asked, “How did you notice that? This information is in my private notes.” And the guy responded, “Well I used to take notes as a notary, but now I am notary in charge of all the other notaries.” The notary noticed this and resumed taking notes.
The manager said, “I am so sorry sir.” Here are your bank notes and gave the chief notary a lot of money. The customer who the notary was taking notes for had some documents notarized and left the bank.
The guy with all the bank notes in his pocket, started talking to the notary and said, “You know I was a notary, but now I have a boring job taking notes on all the other notaries.” She responded, “Yes, I noticed.” So he said, you know, I am going to change jobs and find a new place to live. I have decided I will be a notary no more.” So he pulls out a single bank note and signed his name and something else, as notaries do, on the back of the note.
He then handed the notary the note. The notary said, “I cannot accept bribes sir.” Then he said, “of course… but I would like this to be notarized.” The notary responded, “Aren’t you a notary, in charge of all the other notaries?” The chief notary said, “Yes, but one of the rules about being the head notary is that you are not allowed to notarize your own bank notes.” So the notary asks, “Why would you want a bank note to be notarized anyway?”
He said, “I noticed you stopped taking notes of that other customer and noticed that you noticed I was noticing you, and you are on your final notice.” She then said, “You really must be the notary in charge of all the other notaries, because I am in fact a notary here on my final notice… But I am going to have to charge you anyway.” And the guy said, “Good.”
So she was about to notarize the bank note and noticed that it was already notarized. He said, “Please notarize it anyway.” The notary notarized the note. Then she noticed that the note’s amount was exactly the amount that the notary charges. The chief notary smiled and left the bank.
The notary was confused and took a second look at the bank note and noticed there was a strange note on the other side. The note said, “This is a personal note for the most beautiful notary I have ever known…. Please take note of the wet floor notice because I fell and almost broke my nose.”
But the notary already noticed the wet floor notice, since she was the banks notary, and the wet area was well known to her. She still wondered why the chief notary wrote that note, on the note, which was notarized by both notaries.
Here is the question:
Can you help the notary understand this note? If you can, please leave me a note on the blog know one notices.
