We are entering the final stretch, the period in which plans are either executed or abandoned. I have a full share of both. I don't mind abandoning over-ambitious plans; I like to think big. But the projects that have been deemed "manditory" loom large over the month of August, and we have precious little time to work on them.
Lots of money and time to be spent.
I hope its all worthwhile.

From the Internet:
"I tried a new pyro hack (thanks to American Fireworks News): first brought out a dowel with 4 feet of stranded copper wire, attached so the wire can be spun around [mine had a screw in the dowel end, holding a washer with a hole drilled for the wire]; a large hook made from solid wire was attached to the other end. Then folded one pad of #0000 steel wool in half, around the hook. The wool lights easily but burns slowly when stationary. When the lit wool is spun around on the wire, you get an incredible throw of sparks, perhaps in a 50 foot circle. Very spectacular! "

Geocaching is the practice of using a GPS to find hidden treasures based on clues and coordinates left by others.
Letterboxing is Geocaching's older sister, with roots as far back as the 1800's. Lacking the GPS, of course, Letterboxing relies upon clues and directions to lead the searchers to their mark.
Fire and Earth just got a GPS for hiking. Their research led them to the Magellan Sportrak Pro

If you tie a couple hundred sparklers together, you can make a giant fountain of white sparks. This looks like fun!
I'd just like to give a shoutout to all the recent visitors to this site. This has been by far the most popular page, despite the fact that all it contains is a picture and a link to someone else's site. I've never made one of these things, but they seem impressive.

It seems like it would be fun to get an outfit that was all black, and then paint white or glow-in-the-dark bones onto it, like a skeleton. I'd love to try it with an old business suit....

Rob has a weblog going now that chronicles his thoughts. He's using the new "trackback" feature of Movable Type, and so am I, so this is a test.
