Now that's why they call it arctic char!
Our favourite rumourmonger was out
for a quiet evening of ice fishing on nearby
Highland Lake
when the ice surrounding poor Ryan gave way. He's now floating
on a five-by-five foot ice sheet, stranded in the middle
of this treacherous body of water. Meader had left his
wireless modem at the dock, and is unable to post the update.
MOSRR received this from Coast Guard
skipper Valvano:
At precisely 05:00 we received a call from a local resident
indicating that there appeared to be a male, white, early twenties,
stranded aboard a piece of ice in the middle of highland lake.
Since we're sure nasty buggers, we're going to phone his
girlfriend and yell at her.
We are completely puzzled by the response and are
awaiting confirmation. MOSRR believes this was in fact,
not a real coast guard skipper.
Gee-Whiz Palm "Pilot"
Yesterday, 3Com announced
that the Palm IX, due to ship in the third quarter of this
year, will contain features designed to help airline pilots
do their jobs better. The Palm IX is being jointly developed
with Boeing and will be
included in some upcoming 767 models.
Here's an exceprt from the press release:
SEATTLE-PUGET SOUND, WA -- Boeing, the world's largest
manufacturer of commercial jetliners, has announced a
groundbreaking alliance with technology industry leader 3Com.
New models of Boeing's
767
jets will incorporate Palm technology, allowing pilots to
eaily turn on and off the cabin lights, no smoking signs,
in-flight video, autopilot and slats.
It's a good thing they aren't using the Newton Messagepad
100 -- imagine what would happen if it got the pilot's
handwriting wrong.
