I love my job but that does not stop me from checking out the job postings from my favorite companies. A while back I noticed that Kimber was looking for a Director of Product Management (the listing is still up). Whow… talk about holy grail. Unfortunately, that would be a great job if I was 10 year further into my career and willing to leave the great Northwest.

I also noticed that Crimson Trace has been posting some interesting jobs. A while back they had something in marketing. They are a Portland company too, which I think is great. Lasers (add Dr. Evil inflection), guns and Portland. The only thing better would be actually being allowed to carry your gun in Portland.

A) Come on do you really think resorting to photoshop trickery will help your politics?
B) Photoshop fakers always F up the details, although this one was getting close.

Maybe email clients should have built in snopes/fact checkers?

Great infographic showing functional satellites, nonfunctional satellites and debris over 10cm by country.

Thus we can calculate Functional to Junk (non-functional + debris) Ratio:
Countries Shooting Stuff Into Space On The Regular:
USA: 453/(683+3258)= 11.49%
Russia: 86/(1310+2690)= 2.15%
China: 40/(29+2690)= 1.47%
France: 13/(29+2690)= 3.69%

China+Brazil: 3/(0+60)= 5%
India: 17/(17+106)= 13.8%
Nato: 3/(5+0)= 60%

From Wikipedia:
The present means for spacecraft shielding, such as those used for the manned modules of the International Space Station, are only capable of protecting against debris with diameters below about 1 centimetre (0.39 in).

My friend just got a Sig 226. Now he has to find 9mm ammo. Good luck my friend… good luck.

LA Police Gear is closing out the 5.11 Origional Tactical Pants for $17 bucks.

I hear great things about these pants so I bought two.

Also I looked up a coupon. You can use “tweet” and get an extra 10% off. Yeah for the interwebz.

Totally Agree.
