How about a home-made model B-29 bomber … with a Bell X-1 Rocket Plane that launches from under its wing, no less! Check the video (wmf, 7m 24s). Note, the "pilot" loses control of the B-29 and ejects(!), then "the 2nd in command" (presumably) recovers!? This aircraft runs on four Chainsaw...

Yooper hurricane names? Eino, Helmi, Lempi, Mika, Niilo, Onni, Riika, and Toivo are okay. Aimo and Urho, perhaps, but Aino and Urno? Nooooo, not so good, eh? (Unless you really know someone with those names.) You want an official source, try these: 1. Finnish boys' names in...

I was under the impression that the Trail Cam has been dead for several months, although the date/time stamp has been updating. I just noticed last night that it shows a pretty good picture late in the day, around Evening Civil Twilight or later. Maybe its "white balance" is just out of kilter?

So you're playin' way out in da remote boonies, out of cell phone coverage? You want GPS? You want emergency communications capability? This is at least an interesting concept, 'tho verrry pricy! See DeLorme's Earthmate PN-60w SE with SPOT Satellite Communicator. (Not an advertisement, just an...

We'll see if this works, it is an animated GIF. Nope, it posted as a still image only, no animation! Sorry! Image deleted.:(

I got mine via email quite early today (7AM MST!), although the first graphic did say "Updated: 10 am Thursday January 6" {smile} But still no sign of 'em on johndee.com as of 10:56AM MST (12:56AM EST)!?

Failing voltage regulators seem to be such a common problem with sleds, but strangely not so with automobiles. Voltage regulators seem to be rather uncomplicated gadgets. Are there any automotive or "'lectrical injuneers" here that can "splain" what's so problematic about voltage regulators...

Do you think the Climategate issue will come up in Copenhagen?

</address> Now that the forum software issue is fixed, now it's the server? In the immortal words of Emily Litella (Saturday Night Live, circa 1975-1980) {smile} <smile>:</smile>

When I use the "New Posts" feature, I typically see several threads with their titles in bold, and after viewing the new posts, on another pass, the ones in which I have already viewed all new posts are no longer bold. That seems to be a useful and reasonable indicator that I have seen all the...

When you open the discussion board, does it share space on the JohnDee.com "Snow Central" Home Page? Does your browser support multiple tabs (At least he latest MSIE and Firefox both do.) Would you prefer to have the message board in its own tab, thus allowing the full width of the screen for...

Over The Edge segment: Ski-Doo Snowmobile Can't seem to find the video online! Check your PBS station for date & time.

Wow, here 'tis, Sunday again, and I'm quite surprised that other than one brief hint in the "Strawberries" thread, there has been no mention all week of John's bout with pneumonia, as reported in his July 5 Journal. Well I, for one, sure hope to read in this week's journal that all's well in...

A new wrinkle today: "My favorite topics" has suddenly vanished from the Search topic: dropdown list of topics on the Search Board.<hr width=75% size=2>Now it's back again!? Must have been a temporary hiccup!

Not so much an "Ask John" issue, but this seems the best place for an "about the site" item. I just happened across a reference to Quantcast, a site that tracks Internet traffic. See the statistics they have gathered about johndee.com. (Click on the various tabs on that site for more.)...

(Not a meteorological question, but I see "Ask John" being used for forum design questions as well …) Perhaps the ol' Northwoods Directory could stand a bit of a redesign, much as was done with the N.C.N. page a while ago, with a text only option. Just two instances today may illustrate...
