Was headed home on my usual route through the pines last night after attending my granddaughter's dance recital in New York. I don't think I saw another car on Pasadena road the whole way from Whiting to Route 72. It was about 1:00 AM when I got to Savoy Blvd and all of a sudden both sides of...

Just got the anniversary sale catalog from REI. Oregon 600 is selling for $220, available only between May 15 to May 25 at that price. I think that's about the best price I've seen on this model, GPSCity sells it for $345.

Was just looking at this. Could be pretty cool for a backup power system. http://www.teslamotors.com/powerwall A bit expensive ($3500 for 10kwh or $3000 for 7kwh). But my experience is that I could make it through a day or two powering essential items (well pump, refrigerator, minimal...

Interesting software that I just found - especially for Mac users since there is not much GPS software available. Download here. You can register for the free version by just entering your name and e-mail, which I did. It says all the features work for 30 days...

Personally, I'll pass, but this is a nice change of policy for Microsoft. I just got a new machine with Windows 7 Professional and it does everything I need, although it also included a full Windows 8.1 install disk. If I ever do decide to upgrade, I would probably skip directly to Windows 10...

Anyone ever notice this on the 1930 aerials before? Was it just a mapmaker that couldn't spell "Pasadena"? http://maps.njpinebarrens.com/#lat=39.89688241735658&lng=-74.43464655082704&z=16&type=nj1930&gpx=

Just announced today. They have basically put all the features of their handheld devices into a (large) watch, including 8GB of memory. Doesn't interest me personally, but kind of a cool product. I question how useful a topo map or satellite image would be on a 205x140 pixel screen...

http://www.wsj.com/articles/brendan-byrne-90-and-still-in-the-mix-1419014008 I never realized that an executive order was initially used to protect the Pines. :)

I have been hearing sirens - LOTS of sirens for the past hour tonight. Hard to tell the location, sounds like a lot of emergency vehicles coming and going. Maybe somewhere around Milmay or Dorothy...

CyberWeek special - if you have an older Nuvi that doesn't include map updates, for $20 you can get the current version of City Navigator (regular price is $50). Note that this update can only be installed on a device that was pre-loaded with City Navigator. It should also work if you purchased...

Was just checking the forecast on the NWS site and there is an orange area of the map up around the Delaware Water Gap indicating a "shelter in place" warning. What is going on up there??? http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=phi&wwa=shelter%20in%20place%20warning URGENT -...
