- yaktrax Pro
Yaktrax Pro work better on ice, and snow covered ice, than anything else I have tried. They don't slip on snow covered ice like spikes do. They are easy to put on and take off. They stay securely in place while in use.
A great product at a fair price!

- Fan-trax-tic!
I have owned a pair of these for over year during which time we've had two major ice storms as well as snow and lesser amounts of ice. The Yaktrax have held up wonderfully. The one time that I've slipped on ice it was because I had been too lazy to put them on. Lesson learned! At least two co-workers have purchased their own pair of Yaktrax after seeing mine.

No, these aren't meant to be worn INSIDE, they are for OUTSIDE use in foul weather. From the website: "The Yaktrax Walker and Yaktrax Pro are not for use on gravel, concrete or sanded roads. Avoid surfaces such as marble, tile or any non-icy, non-snowy surfaces when wearing the Yaktrax Walker or Yaktrax Pro." It takes less than two minutes to put both on and even less time to take them off or one can simply have another pair of shoes to slip into. I don't find it a "hassle" either way, especially when one considers the benefits of using Yaktrax.

I would recommend buying a size larger if you will be using these on boots. I find it a little bit of a struggle to put them on my hiking boots. If the weather is going to be bad for an extended period, I tend to just leave the Yaktrax on my boots and switch to another pair of shoes.

- yaktrax pro worth every penny!
I regularly walk my dog in the woods on snowmobile trails that can get hard packed and icy. With my new Yaktrax I feel sure footed and much safer!

- Really Helps
Every day I walk for an hour or two in the woods along uneven mountain bike/hiking trails. Wouldn't want to be without them. These things really work in the snow and ice. Also help tons on my black top drive when it's icy. Lots of snow & ice this winter. I've used them almost daily for two months. No sign of wear. They are slippery on hard slick indoor surfaces. Instructions say not to, but if your careful you can walk a few feet on tile.

- Yaktrax pro
I run 3 to 6 miles several times a week year around in Michigan. I bought a pair of yaktrax pro 3 years ago and use them whenever there is ice and/or snow on the trails on which I run. They have been great! They are easy to slip on over my running shoes, they stay on, and I'm barely aware of them when I run, other than that I no longer slip and slide on ice and snow. The original pair that I bought 3 years ago finally broke in one spot last week so I need to replace them. Even the break was not a big deal. One of the pieces of rubber on the bottom tore. I went ahead and ran on it anyway and it still did OK. I highly recommend these to anyone who wants to stay active year around in a snowy/icy climate.

Huge Spinning Blade POV Display is Not for Kids [POV]

We've seen some cool POV display setups in the past, like this bicycle spoke Obama propaganda message, but I don't recall one that could both amaze a person and take their limbs off at the same time. Called the "Display from Hell," that's pretty much what this thing does, all while projecting POV images using 100 blue SMD LEDs. The propeller, which spins at 140mph and is both huge and terrifying, was apparently rigged up for a party. A very dangerous party. From hell. Thanks, Joao! [Hackaday]

The Well-Heeled Dean CIO Quiz

I've heard it said by Dave Winer and many many others: if only Dean had reinvested half the money raised into the Internet, then ...

OK, so you're the Dean Campaign Chief Information Officer in August 2003. The money starts to roll in. $20 million over six months, $2-4 million per month.

What would you spend the money on?

What does your monthly budget look like?
What is your application and infrastructure portfolio?
How much will you allocate to maintenance?
You're building from scratch, so what problems do you hope to avoid through wise architecture?
What are your big milestones?
Who are your key vendors?

How do you spend in consonance with the campaign strategy?

How will you use the Internet to bring offline voters into the campaign at the same numbers as radio or television broadcasts?
What is your online strategy for responding to attack ads and opposition pundits in radio, television and print?
Online community takes time to build and is very hard to organize geographically. What will you do to match the state-by-state primary schedule?
What can you do with online services to serve the campaign in caucus states?
You are preparing for Bush to launch in Spring 2004. What are your countermeasures to reach out to moderate Republicans online while the GOP uses its advanced voter email systems to barrage 200 million validated email addresses?
How will you lower the cost-per-vote vs. the GOP?

[Insert clever lyric pun here]

Hall & Oates are suing their publisher, Warner/Chappell Music Inc., claiming the publisher failed to enforce the copyright on their song "Maneater" and sue an unnamed singer-songwriter (quite possibly Nelly Furtado) for infringement. The only problem is, Timbaland and Nate "Danja" Hills - the composers of the Furtado track - also work for Warner/Chappel Music. What happens when publishers don't protect songwriters from other songwriters working for the same publisher.
